This story is good... and a statement about the state of our society...have we become so cold we cannot help a fellow man/woman in need?

I live in a part of California that was once part of Mexico... the culture here is a mix. Yes, there are those in the Mexican and Hispanic community that live in fear, as they are here illegally, but they fear immigration, as they actively seek employment from white people. They are economic refugees, seeking more money, as our minimum wage is much more for an hour of work than they could make in a day in Mexico. I guess I do see things as a North American view... yes, there are cultural differences, and in the last 50 years we have become a country of many cultural islands, not the 'melting pot' that was America in the last century.
