What would happen if migrants on boats with limited resources were also seen as brave explorers gifted with curiosity and wonder for depths unknown, I wonder.
@minjinlee11 @sairasameerarao It’s not about the same thing at all. Immigrants are escaping tyranny and poverty usually to get free to a new life. They have not much choice they aren’t exploring
@minjinlee11 @sairasameerarao Those who encourage, facilitate, and romanticize, these dangerous and illegal ventures are all complicit in the tragedy that occurred. By attempting to turn this into some kind of heroic voyage, you are surely part of the problem. Grow up, child!
@minjinlee11 The courage of migrants reminds me of a quote by Amy Chua: "Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery. Those are people who crossed an ocean to come to this country." Here’s a poem inspired by the quote:
@minjinlee11 Comparison is apt if, at the bottom of the ocean is a lifetime supply of $40,000-$70,000/yr in benefits.
@minjinlee11 What would happen if Banks accept Crypto currency #JustSaying
@minjinlee11 A beautifully written memoir of being a 9 yr old boy, full of curiosity and wonder and imagination and courage, migrating north from El Salvador across Guatemala, the ocean, Mexico to be reunited with his parents in California.
@minjinlee11 They could explore China? Don’t you think. The African Marco Polos. Make them welcome now. Give them everything. You know it’s the right thing to do.
@minjinlee11 What would happen if we allowed people reasonable immigration and supported dignified employment in countries near their homeland if they must flee?
