Something to dwell upon (from the Huffington Post, 12 January 2010 - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-guskin/a-new-immigrant-revolutio_b_415731.html)
If you don't understand why any of this is important, or you feel it has nothing to do with you, just think: you too could be facing deportation today if it were not for the accident of where you happened to be born. As U.S.-born citizens we never earned the right to our privilege. We were just lucky.
As the fasters wrote in their January 6 letter to President Obama: "Please put yourself in our shoes and just imagine for a minute what it would be like to be separated from your beautiful daughters just because you were born in a different latitude."
