History Repeating…Again.
Today, as white South Africans are welcomed as “refugees” with open arms, the United States government and courts feel nothing unconscionable about turning away people seeking asylum from countries and situations that are facing catastrophic situations largely because of the United States’ international policies.
Below, I’m including links to several historic documents that I use as references in my own research that provide some context.
My assessment is that the United States has never been on the right side of this equation. If we want to contribute to the betterment of the changing, globalizing and interconnected world, we will need to think from an entirely different perspective of human life. The modern realization of the promise of a United States founded on the principle of “we the people” will remain unrealized as long as it is allowed to be coopted by expressions of exclusion, subjectivity, physical barriers, philosophical boundaries and a singular world view.
I share my perspective here and these links so that we can all better informed in the future.
