Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

Asked why he chose it as a title, he said: “I believe that the forces of Good and Evil are real things. … I do not have a religion, but I believe that one can influence one’s life, one’s future, through faith and decency towards others.”
