Immigrants in our own land

In Jimmy Baca’s poem he explains in the beginning how and what immigrants go through to get to the U.S. From asking coyotes to sneak you in to getting rid of clothes to wearing mechanic overalls to taking shots from the doctor being felt like if  you were something else, etc. When I think about those things, I deeply think about it because it’s amazing what people from all over the world do to be in/ live in a country they dont know.

He also predicted what he would call "Parlor walls" which we know nowadays as flat screens televisions. To me it's mind blowing  how Bradbury predicted this 65 years ago.        Now in the book, the government controls the citizens on their ideas or how they think. Technology is a way on how the government gets to control its citizens. Books are basically illegal in this dystopian society.
