So many of you were moved by the last Conformity & Conflict chapter we read on immigrants vs. refugees. Happened upon this video from NYTimes this week on immigrants in Rhode Island. One of the things I am concerned about relative to illegal immigrants is creating a culture where the institution of the family is not at all respected among those whom we deem "illegal". They are still human beings and creating a capitalistic culture of wealth on top of family's misery seems unethical no matter what circumstances led to that plight.

Locking up unauthorized immigrants for deportation is a growth industry. The jail in Central Falls, R.I., tried to cash in, but in a town full of immigrants, one result is a community living in fear.
