When the talk of deportation of immigrants is raised , ALL of us should pack our bags since we are immigrants or the progeny of immigrants. This talk of immigrants taking jobs or changing America is just that- talk. Talk put forth by folks who hate for the sake of hate and have deep roots in that hate. These are the same people who will not or cannot do the jobs that “illegal or legal immigrants” are supposedly taking. Apparently it is OK for these immigrants to do menial jobs but not skilled jobs that they are trained for.

Racism is the cancer that can (and recently has) create a rift that makes us vulnerable to outside influences. These outside forces have the ability to place our concentration in areas that weaken our perception of the truth. To paraphrase Yoda:” anger leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side” , so where are we on that scale?
