treatment of migrants theme
We are made to ponder how the government ought (or ought not) to treat immigrants into our society, illegal and otherwise.
Examples
In tz2019e1x08 "Point of Origin", we saw how suspected illegal immigrants were herded together in cold and brutal internment camps by a ruthless government agency. The cultural context makes it clear that we must think of the way ICE in the USA have been said to treat immigrants.
