Comments on: Drama About Immigration Raids and their Human Consequences in Arizona Is No Fiction for Many http://news.feetintwoworlds.org/2009/08/31/play-about-immigration-raids-and-their-human-consequences-in-arizona-is-no-fiction-for-many/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Guillermo http://news.feetintwoworlds.org/2009/08/31/play-about-immigration-raids-and-their-human-consequences-in-arizona-is-no-fiction-for-many/comment-page-1/#comment-1022 Guillermo Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:38:42 +0000 http://feetin2worlds.wordpress.com/?p=8955#comment-1022 This was a sad play. I know that I had a knot in my throat when I saw this, and other folks (men and women) cried. This was sad; especially to know that this is so true and it's happening to families across this country. I am a bit concerned, however, about the use of this little girl. I've been following the activities on the web regarding her parent's case and also seen that Salvador Reza has put her in front of the cameras many times for Youtube, Marches, plays and other fundraisers. Is any of this money going to help her and the other families or is she being used as a face to raise money for the work center? Because as far as I can tell, the work center helps undocumented folks find jobs and the this little girl's needs are different; she needs her parents, not jobs. This was a sad play.
