Chapter 13

In class awhile ago we talked about the boat accident in the Mediterranean and that bothered me. This chapter also talks about the issues experienced by Cuban Immigrants who had to break immigration law to bring their families over. This struck me because before touching on this topic the author notes a general improvement in American Immigration brought on by the Cold War. While looking for research in another class I found a video about a more recent immigration struggle felt by young boys who are trying to immigrate from Afghanistan to America. The story is sad and heartwarming, and it is a struggle that we have seen not only in this chapter, but throughout the entire book.
