It takes a lot of guts and desperation to leave your home, risk your life in the desert or at sea, go somewhere where you don't know a soul, and live in fear and debt. The fact is this: much of what's driving human migration is the fact that 80% of the world's wealth is being controlled in the industrialized West by 20% of the world's population. Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Reilly... maybe they never got the Judeo-Christian memo about being kind to foreigners and strangers.... The 20% who have all the wealth?... They like the nannies from Guatemala who take care of their children, the field hands from Mexico that pick the fruits and vegetables... and who do it on the cheap so that that 80% can become 85%....
