...skills in the slightest.This tired romance also overshadows the more worthwhile story of assimilation in Australia, where Aboriginal children were removed from their families to be blended into white culture and purged of their heritage (a story more effectively depicted in the 2002 drama “Rabbit-Proof Fence??). Nullah, though, with a speaking pattern and attitude resembling Short Round in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” is mostly ineffective as a face of the tragedy. Instead he’s just another participant in a long parade of stereotypes...

Thompson ’09, the scenery consists of a whitewashed façade of a two-story home enclosed by a white-picket fence??the quintessential definition of the archetypal middle-class Americana landscape—and the interior of a kitchen.

The bill also called for improved border control, a plan which many fear could include a “fence?? in select areas (though it never states that the U.S. should build a 2,000 mile fence). I agree with the aim of defeating HR 4437 and replacing it with the three Senate bills that would strengthen the border but also allow a path to citizenship; the law would be changed, its sanctity...
