Immigration

Last evening I attended a Pax Christi Meeting. We listened to a speaker talk about immigration at the Texas boarder. Those people really suffer just to get a little money together so they can feed and house their families. They are good workers. We need good workers. Why are we so reluctant to allow these people into the USA. My grandparents came to America from Holland. They spoke poor English and did many things the way a Dutchman would do it. They often were laughed at but no one tried to get rid of them. The house grandpa built still stands and it does not have sagging floors. They were builders. Why can't we respect for those coming from Mexico. They can teach us their ways and we can teach them our ways and we will both be better off. I was very impressed with their faith and perseverance of these Mexican.
