Immigrants are welcome here

Grim moment as our society becomes a zone of terror for 11 million undocumented people, and as the Standing Rock water protectors are being arrested. European Americans pulling up the ladder after taking over Turtle Island from its traditional owners... as if by criminalizing all who didn't go through our official channels our own occupation of the land is vindicated! Immigration's not an easy question, especially for a settler society which claims a special global significance. My own thinking on it is incomplete, I readily confess, but at least I'm thinking.
