Cultural Hauntings & Abuse

Life doesn't seem to get any easier for those who move here into America to start new lives and live the American dream. Nadia K. seems to have gotten the short end of the stick along with several dozen other women who had moved out of one breeding pool of domestic violence into another. I find it somewhat sad that these people move from one area of the world into another hoping for something better and get off worse. The view on America from foreign countries doesn't seem to improve when news like this goes around either. Not that I'm saying we should censor our news because transparency and the press posting things like this is another outlet to help stop things like this. Domestic abuse is no laughing matter and I think some should consider what a lot of people have to put up with when they move into America with predispositions to be stereotyped and singled-out. I would like people to come to America and find it somewhat of a safe-haven from persecution, and this just isn't cutting it.
