Political Factoid
"In the name of our God,
I ask you to have mercy
upon the people in our
country who are scared now.
There are gay, lesbian and
transgender children in
Democratic, Republican and
independent families, some
who fear for their lives.
"The people who pick our
crops and clean our office
buildings, who labor in
poultry farms and meat
packing plants, who wash
the dishes after we eat
in restaurants and work
the night shifts in hospitals
-- They may not be citizens or
have the proper documentation,
but the vast majority of
immigrants are not criminals.
They pay taxes and are good
neighbors. They are faithful
members of our churches and
mosques, synagogues."
