It made me so doggone sad today to look at a sweet man who was in fear of what was going to happen to some friends of his. It made me sad and then mad. The man was a Mexican-American who has friends who feel they must move back to Mexico with their daughter for fear of what may be coming in this country.
How dare Donald Trump and his insanity to invade people's lives like that. Even though nothing has happened so far and my guy keeps reassuring me that this whole thing will be tied up in court for years, who cares. These people are in fear right now. Can you imagine living in fear that someone might come and knock on your door and haul you away from the only life you have known for years. You are a law abiding, work hard person who is in danger of having your whole life ripped from you. That stinks.
We here in America have never had to live like that, except during WWII, when Japanese families were hauled off to camps and lost everything. Since then it has not happened.
So what do we say to those people we know who are in this position. Don't worry, it will be all right. We do not know that and those are pretty hollow sounding words if you ask me. Or do we say, oh don't worry it will take years of litigation before Trump can seriously do anything. Same hollow words.
There is truly nothing we can say, because we do not know. Those of us who did not vote for him did not think he would be elected, either legally or illegally.
At this point the only thing we can do is pray and hope that God intercedes before this idiot blows us all up.
