Bridget, Isn’t writing a letter what got the Tuft student arrested and detained? It feels like they will soon cross the line and it will not matter what papers you have to prove your citizenship ’rights.’ And without needing to comply with 14th Amendment due process how can ’people like us’ prove anything when ICE comes knocking (or barging in) and the agent doesn’t like the tilt of your (or your family member’s or friend’s) tattoo?

Yes. I am doing everything I can to encourage letter writing. Also, going out and about whilst participating in public displays of aggravation is making me wonder about whether people like us will ever prevail.

Always strength in numbers. Please, all of us, send letters, emails, and texts to the powers that be.

I’m completely with you, Bridget. Keep speaking out and encouraging us all to do so. We need more people like you. I think more are starting to come out and join the cause. Thank you.

Yes, and that is wrong. Currently sick at heart and mad in my mind. Fielding emotions dating back to the period of time when Hitler ruled and relatives of my daughter in law were unable to leave their homeland.

My grandson, a 3 year old who delights me each and every day, would be cast off as to its Final Solution. In the meantime, I can’t abide any aspect of that mind set encroaching upon my beloved country.

Hitler made everyone live in fear. Children ratted on their parents. Neighbours ratted on neighbours........ and the BROWN SHIRTS came.
