His Panic-Geraldo Takes on Illegal Immigration

Geraldo Rivera was so inspired by this argument with Bill O'Reilly that he wrote a book entitled "His Panic". Obviously a play on words referring to illegal Hispanic immigrants in America and the fear (or "Panic") of the growing Hispanic population. The immigration argument has become somewhat cliche on the campaign trail. However, my personal feelings on the topic are mixed. While I do believe that it is imperative that the U.S. document the entry of immigrants into this country for, among many other reasons, safety purposes, we cannot let one terribly unfortunate situation become an excuse to incriminate an entire group of people. I have always found it a point of irony that we live in a "free" world with manmade boundaries. It's about time to start holding hands across these borders and support cultural, political, and economic unity. How can we let an imaginary dotted line traced out by centuries of wars and obsolete treaties dictate how a fellow human being should be treated?
