I have Russian American neighbors. They became citizens and then voted for… Trump. This made me furious. Why come here and wreck this country?! I have wondered about their sending money back to Russia for any remaining family members. Can they do that now??! I think I’m less sympathetic now. I had a Latvian American friend who was sure that Russians were coming here to spy on this country. People like my neighbors. I thought she was crazy. Maybe she was right.
