"We all agree not to notice"
This quote is a part of this raging conflict i really didn't get a feel for until i read chapter 5. Some people, like Uncle, Auntie and Abba, have one mantra- never tell anyone anything. Keep it quiet. Blend in. And then, completely on the other side of the scale, you have Nadira's cousin, who is part of a radically different group with a whole new view on how to deal with being an illegal immigrant. Their mantra isn't silence,it's the direct contradiction. Blow it out of the water. Shout it from the rooftops. We are here. You can't ignore us. We're humans too- humans with families and stories and dreams. So you've got half of the people trying to hide, and half hoisting signs into the air. Now that won't be problematic at all....
