And let us also remember Claudia Patricia Gómez Gonzáles, a 20-year-old Guatemalan woman who traveled 1500 hundred miles to the United States in hopes of earning enough money to further her education. Soon after she and a group of migrants set foot on U.S. soil last week, she was shot to death by a border patrol agent. Does this represent the America that thousands of our citizens have fought and died for? I’d like to think not but without any moral leadership, our democracy is a sham.

In order to remember or memorialize, first we have to learn, and I didn’t know about this. So thanks. Tragic.

You’re welcome, Lynn. I can’t look at Claudia’s picture without both heartbreak for her death and rage at what this corrupt and mean-spirited administration is getting away with in our name.

When I see the way we treat people looking for asylum I feel ashamed. This isn’t the country I know. All of my grandparents were immigrants and, if they were to see this, they would feel ashamed, too. Whatever happened to:
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

I don’t think most of us fully get the depths of depravity that is now governing this country. It’s madness run amok.
