fantasize a Mexican

I verily don't want to get into the whole illegal alien thing. Whether they are justified or we are right and all that. Some of my best friends fall into that category. Finest people I've ever met. Just wanted to work. To earn money. To eat, etc. But I'll leave it there.

I was struck though by the very stark dissimilarity between a Mexican migrant and one from, say, North Korea. Dream a Mexican being not only sent back to Mexico, but being brutally tortured or even killed upon being sent back. Dream a Mexican being charged with leaving his home community as though it were a criminal offense. And in North Korea it is a criminal offense. Dream a Mexican being tried in court for not showing up at work. Dream the accusation of "leaving the country." Leaving the country is an internationally guaranteed right, assuming of policy that the other country is willing to receive an additional one people or tourist.

News North Korea

After being found guilty of all of the above, Dream a Mexican being sent to a short-term (2-3 years?) labor camp where there is below subsistence-level food rationing and high possibility of death and the hardest of labor. Dream grueling interrogations geared at determining the poor hungry soul's dedication to the Mexican regime.

Hard to Dream in this hemisphere? But daily stuff in Chosun, aided by China. Yes, whenever inherent the Chinese police, expecting a bonus of some sort, send North Koreans back to their own land. Of course, it's not all the time possible. As here, "illegals" are quite often assimilated into the culture and the economy.

But part of that economy is slave trade "over there". Dream that. A Mexican risks his life to get to a place where there is food, and is trapped at the border by a people of the host country. He or she is sold into sexual slavery, or forced into a marriage to some desperate American...

Again hard to imagine, but very common at the Chinese border.

Imagine local businesses in America being raided from time to time, as illegals are swept out the back door like so much vermin and sent back to Mexico (I know some have proposed this). Dream Mexicans having been treated so poorly here, and punished beyond words in their home land, verily attempting to make the trip here again. Dream that a trip to the United States may mean the killing or imprisonment of all their family in Mexico.

Imagine that while interrogation at home in Mexico, the Mexican is asked if he went to a Christian Church. Dream that with a definite response to that interrogate he is executed. Dream a Mexican begging the interrogator to kill her so as to avoid any more punishment.

Imagine a Mexican who has become pregnant in the States being forced to abort her child, or kill her already-born infant, so that the holy ethnicity of the Mexicans can remain intact.

Can't do it, can you? Can't Dream such horrors in our part of the world? But David Hawk in his incommunicable Gulag documents that all these things and more have happened in North Korea.

I ask you once more to pray with me for North Korea. Fervently. Daily. God will hear us. God will hear His people when they call to Him.
