I jumped in and quickly looked down and popped up immediately. I just couldn't believe what I saw. One woman asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
I struggled to get my mask off. I was so excited. "I feel like I have been blinded and now I see", I told her.
I understand why some people feel we should just send undocumented immigrants back. It seems like the simple answer. But when you look closer, it’s not that simple. Many have been here for years, raised families, built lives, and contributed in countless ways. They’re not strangers. They’re our neighbors, our coworkers, even the people caring for our children or fixing our homes. Tearing them away doesn’t make our country stronger, it breaks families, communities, and the very values we claim to stand for. I believe in law and order, but I also believe in mercy, in second chances, and in building a country where hard work and hope are honored, not punished.

For years, I watched this house crumble in to complete decay. It sat back, off the road. No one lived there and no one maintained this house. And so it slowly began to crumble and cave in. And then one day it was compeltely gone. It was as if nothing every existed on this spot. And a few years later, there is still nothing there.
