When I heard an older man saying something anti immigrant to one of the workers there and I couldn't help pointing out to him that we all came from immigrants, like me. I told him about my family and turns out he had a similar heritage, which of course he'd never considered. I changed one mind that day, but there are too many more who don't think and don't realize. We all come from immigrants or we wouldn't be here - and most of us were unwelcome at one time or another.
