La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for May 14, 2017

the bond still grows strong when you’re worlds apart

Trump’s gift to families.

Aw, poor mama; sneaked in, had an anchor baby and got deported. So sad.

What’s the “to” for?

To zip: I came expecting to see heartless comments from some here and was not disappointed. Keep in mind that you yourself and pretty much everyone else except indigenous people were “anchor babies.” In fact, Mexicans and other Latinos with indigenous ancestry can arguably claim they have more right to be here than any purely European-descended people.

That’s a powerful image, Lalo.

Agresic: and I fully expected a comment about how none of us really belongs here except the Indians.

Wow, talk about animosity to those who don’t happen to agree with you! Let’s allow ALL immigrants from the world over to come here. Then see the demise of our great country.

I posted this on our church’s FB page; on Sunday we collected items for the family center near an ICE detention facility, and the sermon was about compassion for immigrant (legal or otherwise) mothers and their families.
