Help immigrants make America better

I look forward to the time when the U.S. will take its place among the world of nations

I just learned that Albany, under the leadership of Mayor Sheehan, is a sanctuary city.

As native of Johnstown, I’m proud of the city of Albany and its stance against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. “You go girl.” Stop ICE from harassing the undocumented immigrants living in your city. They add vibrancy to every community in which they live.

Soon today’s minorities will be the majority. When that happens, the rich white fat cats will be driven from the swamp that is Washington, D.C., What will follow will be the election of a multicultural federal government serving a multicultural nation. Only then can we look forward to racial justice for all, equal pay for all, less money spent on weapons of war and more on the social programs that will one day make all Americans equal. Today’s undocumented immigrants should be fast-tracked to citizenship, making for a stronger more diverse nation.

I look forward to the time when the United States will take its place among the world of nations, not superior, but rather equal with all other nations in a New World Order.

In the meantime, we in the resistance must stop Trump at every opportunity until this mentally deranged deviate is driven from the Oval Office.
