Two things I find interesting. One is the singing across the Mexican-American border. It reminds me of the African-American appropriation of the Jewish Exodus story. It reminds me that religious language and imagery can be important in politics if you want to reach out to immigrant groups.
I also found interesting the notion that when impoverished Central Americans to to less-poor-but-still-poor Mexico, they find charity from their fellow poor. You know what they say about camels and the eye of a needle. . . .
