Immigration reform? Let’s get serious. As long as conditions of poverty exist as illustrated in these photos taken in Honduras and Haiti c.1939 what would you do if you had to live under these conditions?

“…Got a dream to take them there, They’re coming to America, Got a dream they’ve come to share, They’re coming to America….”  “America” –Neil Diamond
