Maybe this thread triggered my cynical side (Grinch!)....
I respect your feelings. Not sure if I'm in the minority based on what I see all over the news, but I pretty much never feel anything about all the people trying to come in to this country. I
do feel for the American people in my community, and other towns across America, who are living in poverty. People trying to illegally cross the border, I just can't feel sympathy towards. We have plenty of problems in America, with our own citizens. Everyone running here, instead of also working together to fix their own communities around the world, is illogical to me.
