One more comment. My husband and I have been immigrants ourselves for 15 years here in Costa Rica and we have always been treated with respect, friendship and absolute kindness. It is always our intent to be good citizens here and add only positivity to their sweet and beautiful country. What went wrong with America that it’s allowed its self to be duped into anti immigrant hate by the regime?
After traveling through numerous states in Mexico and the country of Ecuador, I can tell you beyond a doubt that I never felt more safe. And I was not an all-inclusive-resort kind of guest, but traveled in El Centros in the Yucatan and on the Baja side for years, backpacking alongside my former. My trips on 2d class buses were always civilized and safe, accentuated by traveling roosters on the laps of locals and ninos selling homemade tamales…
I never felt nervous on those Latin streets. In Ecuador, I was welcomed into the home of Ecuadorians who gave up their bedroom for the weekend so I could stay in theirs. They treated me as a princess, I am humiliated to say, because I didn’t deserve such special treatment, but they insisted.
It is Americans who have been raised in our culture to believe capitalism and egocentric values will get you that billionaire’s mansion in Aspen. Hollywood glorifies it, and the naive consume it as though it were the true value system…
Thank you for always being authentic, stay healthy and may peace grace your days down there in the warmer climes…
There are a couple of people like this in my family, therefore, they are no longer family. I reject family who buys into evil and the destruction of America.
I’m sorry that your brother is entrenched in his ignorance.
Your brilliance and hard work is intimidating to him. Trump thrives on the uninformed.
PS
Pope Leo has said “Our neighbors are not our first enemies…but other men and women with whom we can speak.” That’s a true Christian sentiment. “Love your neighbor as yourself. “Jesus Christ. That’s anti fascist and anti ICE.
Thank you, dear Elizabeth, for your thoughtful comment, and for elaborating on what true Christianity means…love thy neighbor, love thy brother…
Who is any one of us to act as judge, jury and executioner? I always say, What you do is between you and your God.
What the thugs posing as federal agents are doing is acting as judge, jury and executioner. Justice will prevail, but only if millions of Americans as yourself continue to not look away…

Thank you Denise. Keep up the fight and keep up the love of Gods creatures!🌈

It isn’t really a question, anymore, is it? The conversation can’t be had,
So, are you on the side of good or evil?
Because it’s simply that obvious.
Thank you for standing up and sharing, stay safe and be well,
Denise
