Many of our ancestors came from countries where they were not wanted and came to the US where they were looked down on and treated badly. Now the children of the chlldern of immigrants are doing the same thing to new immigrants. It has always been feared that the newcomers would destroy our country but that has never been true. We are only stronger.
no human is illegal. all are valuable and to be honored. we have all been strangers in this land. i am not catholic, and know plenty of examples of All churches' inhumanity, but pope Francis washing the feet of the disenfranchised even as his physical health deteriorated is a powerful example. i am so saddened and demoralized that one of the reasons so many people embrace trump, even though his policies will hurt them, is the same as why so many people in Appalachia who survive Only because of the ACA embrace getting rid of it -- because it will hurt the Other People, the Wrong People (women, kids, immigrants, of color, of race, of gender, etc) it will hurt them More. i cannot at the moment find the reference to that article because i'm so outraged i'm spitting like a wet cat.
