Crime is the criminal, not the immigrant who comes in peace. When a crime is committed, it is committed only by the perpetuator of the crime. To lump everyone who crosses the border as terrorists, criminals and drug cartel associates is wrong. Blame the one who commits the crime and let the others go free.
Don't blame the immigrant who crosses the border for the crimes of the one who crossed just ahead of him.
Trump onced banned anyone from coming to our shores from an Arab nation. The courts overruled him, saying, No, we don't do it that way. The court was right. America is a land that knows you convict individuals, but not their neighbors. It knows the difference between a person and a society.
Do we? As we consider what is going on at the border, do we know the difference between a person and a group of people. Do we judge the many by the one? Do we fault the many because of the few?
