If the Poor Came to My Town, I'd Welcome Them

   Someone posted the below meme on Facebook (the meme was from NumbersUSA). After a string of replies, all siding against allowing the immigrants into their town, I replied:
  "Yes. Yes. And yes. Consider: These are most likely good people, though you judge them for evil for daring to set foot on American soil without your permission. More to the point: These are probably people in need. Why, if someone were in need, would we turn our backs on them? Why, instead of helping them, would we heap hatred on them, calling them criminals for even coming our way in search of help? Heartless? Yes, sometimes we are. I would that we would see how wrong it is that we treat people this way."
