As ...Hi Raghu,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the appreciative comments. As for my seeming empathy with illegal immigrants, it is true - I do personally lean towards them. But I haven't made the claim that they should be awarded green cards; I am merely stating Harjit's view on the matter, since there is a sort of irony there - since his own immigration reflects those of American Hispanics. <BR/><BR/>And you are right: why should illegal immigrants be preferred to others who are legal and waiting? That's an important point and should be raised. But it merits a different post.Harihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339987786745985294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14626538.post-59819892754250464422008-03-31T15:32:00.000-06:002008-03-31T15:32:00.000-06:00Hari,A well-written and enlightening piece on the ...Hari,<BR/><BR/>A well-written and enlightening piece on the tragic incident and its aftermath, and, a non-opinionated approach. But I became a little restless towards the end as you leaned towards the immigrants on the discussion on immigration. I dont exactly understand how rewarding illegal immigrants with a green card is ethical while there are 1000s who are waiting in the wings the legal way. I just cant understand it when American Hispanics argue that it its right just because their ancestors made it that way into US. If its the way to realize the American dream then it should be made legal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
