Street “border check” theatre
Bob Morris @ Nov 21st 2007 00:18 - Category: Unfiled
Students at a Baltimore college erected a makeshift border fence between dorms and classrooms, and demanded that other students to provide a passport. If they couldn’t, they were told they couldn’t cross.
In a refreshing change, campus security, who are mainly people of color, allowed the wall to stand and supported the action.
Students who got annoyed by the “border check” were told, hey, then imagine what it’s like for Latin American immigrants who must cross the border to find jobs to feed their families.

I was thinking “imagine what it’s like to be in Palestine, where this is your own land and your own country, yet foreigners have checkpoints setup.” Sounds a lot more like that than Latin America to me.
