AMERICA'S PALESTINIANS

LA TIMES:

The U.S. Border Patrol is installing razor-sharp concertina wire atop border fencing between San Diego and Tijuana, marking a major shift in approach along a frequently violent stretch of the frontier.... Critics say the new approach is inhumane and could leave illegal immigrants bloodied....

... The area has been the scene of frequent clashes between rock-throwing youths and agents firing pepper spray and tear gas.... [*]

Frequent clashes, eh? And where has all the news coverage of this been? I certainly don't recall seeing much footage of riots at the border. I guess 'cause it conflicts with the narrative: That Mexicans are perfectly happy with the situation. They risk their lives crossing the border just to financially survive and get treated like subhumans. Europeans disenfranchised the Spanish speaking natives just as much as the English speaking ones we call Native Americans. And how does either differ from the plight of Palestinians?
