I feel very blessed to have lived in the United States all 75 years of my life. I simply can’t imagine what it would feel like living in a country that has little regard for my freedom from tyranny. Here, my state of mind is affected when I feel disrespected, and I’m sure that would be a long way down thne list for others who live where there is little respect for human lives, let alone for mental well-being. Consequently, even though I can appreciate the idea of immigration reform, I have a hard time putting myself in the shoes of those who are trying to come here to make a better life for themselves and their families. Like I said, it’s difficult for me to even imagine the struggles and obstacles blocking the pathway to such basic goals or people from other countries. I certainly don’t have the answer; however, I’m hard-pressed to condemn anyone who’s living with such a reality.
