What a mess.<br />Of course, there is a mess over here for the 800,000 federal workers not receiving paychecks for an alleged reason that needs no discussion here.<br /><br />A friend whose relatives came to the U.S., from Eastern Europe, fleeing anti-Jewish pogroms, as did my maternal grandparents, reminded me that many of these refugees had no documents. They grabbed whatever funds they could and their children and ran for their lives.<br /><br />This should be remembered. And it's probably true of people of many nationalities.<br /><br />My Irish relatives fled hunger and poverty, among other ills.<br /><br />None of them lived well. I remember this every day when I see the White House's frenzied hostility to these poor refugee families.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.com
