Editor's Comments of the Day
According to an article in The New York Times Chinese authorities in the area near the border with North Korea have been rounding up undocumented aliens who have crossed over the border illegally. For economic reasons North Koreans swim across the Tumen River, take low paying jobs to survive and try to avoid apprehension. The similarities to the situation along the US-Mexican border are clear. Of course, there are differences. Mexicans removed from the US are not likely to face persecution for having tried to leave the country and better their economic situation. Still, it is a reminder that the issues involved in immigration are global and economic conditions are a driving force for migration around the world.
