This is a neat project by 3 Harvard students on the views of the immigrants and the minutemen, check it out at borderfilmproject.com

Why the guns? What are they shooting at and do they have the right to shoot at a human unarmed? Isn’t this considered militias and aren’t militias outlawed in the US? What personal satisfaction is there to this job? Desert deer, perhaps.

One of the most beautiful pictures in the exhibition.

Two brown hands holding the camera, one pair you can’t see…
could be my own and those in front of me my father’s.
The camera is looking at me, looking at you,
looking back to the horizon at cars that don’t stop,
on a single road
that breaks and can’t be fixed,
that run because we ask them to
that come because we profit from it
money exits with the same facility it enters
so here they come again,
what is it, 20th may 25th time?
Go home! Go to Canada!
Fix your passport on hold for 7 years minimum,
Pay taxes and contribute!
Why? You don’t want me anyways…
Is it really worth it to run or to fix the problem?

Smokey mirror of truth–
How is the migrant helping their family/generation by migrating and not gaining an education?
It’s not important where you are,
but where you’re going.

So where are we moving to in this issue?
