What's happening this summer is an amazing story of how differently Americans define humanity. There are literally thousands of people from Central America trying to cross the U.S. southern border by any means necessary. The vast majority are claiming to be victims, refugees and asylum seekers from the failed states of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. Can they be believed? That depends on how you define humanity. Although access to these migrants has been limited and tightly controlled by DHS and HHS, from the few videos and photos allowed, for the most part, they all looked like what one would expect victims of violence, refugees, and asylum seekers to look like. They looked poor, tired, hungry and scared. But mostly scared. And they should be. They should be very scared.
