In nursing school, I was forced to read and discuss "A Land of Hard Edges", a book about a retired nurse washing feet of illegal immigrants who had survived the border crossing. In our discussion group, I shared my opinion that this book illustrated some good reasons why people should only take the legal path to immigration - to avoid the treacherous journey and human trafficking while gaining protections such as workers rights and minimum wage. I was met with crickets and looks of disgust. Apparently I had missed the (brainwashing) point of the reading assignment, I lacked the compassion to be a nurse, and I was a racist to boot. Did I mention that I went to nursing school in Portland? Yep, I'm a 5th generation Oregonian preserving our conservative values that the California transplants have all but destroyed. The leftists will never concede to a rational argument, instead they react with big emotions like my preschooler and Selena Gomez.
