My stepmom found work here as a nurse's aide and is the extraordinary grandmother to eight grand- and step-grandkids.
If they'd stayed where they were, they likely would have died as children, and my stepmom, in her 20s.
F*ck those who want to close the borders to people fleeing war and persecution. We're the f*cking US of A; we're better than that.

Different time different set of refugee's. I'm not a betting man but I am willing to bet the refugee's that your family came in with weren't infiltrated with those wanting to and willing to invoke acts of terror and kill as many of us as possible.
