Living in constant fear...

When you live near a city, you get an entirely different perspective on life. Yesterday our grandson had a baseball game here in the suburbs of Cleveland. They played a team from the city of Cleveland and it was made up of young men originally from the Dominican Republic. They were having such a good time playing and so full of spirit. All we kept thinking was what if ICE shows up here to arrest these boys and their families? They must have this fear every moment of their lives. What a horrible way to live. They came to this country (as our ancestors did) to have a better life and are treated like animals.
We made up our minds that if that happened we two old people would do whatever we could to protect those young men. I am so sick of the hate and violence in this country

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
