Hope, this: “America and Americans should do everything we can to be part of the solution as it will be our problem, too.” Spot on and it is our problem. In 2016, in Madrid, a giant banner on a government building read: “Refugees Welcome.” This was the same time we were separating families at our border.

Someone I volunteered with is leaving the US for Portugal with her partner and two small children bc she doesn’t feel safe here. Apparently it is easy to get a visa.
I have walked the Camino de Santiago several times in Spain and Portugal and volunteer for Habitat for Humanity in Portugal. I love the countries but they are smaller governments. Obviously smaller populations. Several of my friends have made permanent moves. Most to Portugal. It’s a two year process. If I were in a different time warp I would join them.
Thank you Irenie and MLM. Irenie, a big cyber hug for you and your big heart. That is exactly what is needed in this world. As for "smaller governments," that may be what is needed when large infrastructures become unmanageable; and so will competition for resources.
