I was talking with Smartypants for a while yesterday. It's nice to stay in touch with DUers.

True friends will be happy with a moment here and there.
I hope all is well with you and your family and friends.

3. That's such a heartbreaking photo and the story behind

it, she! Imagine being separated from your Mom.. the one who raised you.

Thankfully, it seems more legislators are behind Immigration Reform.

Thank you for the thread, she..

I am glad there are more behind it now.

5. Very well said, Sheshe. That Obama quote reminds me of someone.

What makes someone American isn't just blood or birth, but allegiance to our founding principle and faith in the idea that anyone - from anywhere - can write the next chapter of our story.

~ Barack Obama

That little singer is American-born, but some want to deny that fact, or that the young lady's mother is worthy of living here. They're wrong.

7. What a perfect connection.

Our Presidents words, to Sebastien De La Cruz's singing of the National Anthem.

Haters are going to hate I guess. that just means that we will have to love more.

Thank you for your words freshwest.

10. That is an excellent quote!

"Haters are going to hate I guess. That just means that we will have to love more." That is just awesome. The picture you posted was heartbreaking. PBO is absolutely right on this issue. Hope and change - what we all voted for and what we all need.

With all that is going on, I sometimes don't take the time to read about things like this.

8. Thank you posting this, sheshe2.

It is easy sometime to forget the things most of us can take for granted...like not having to worry about being separated from our parents. I can't imagine what it must be like to have a parent deported.

13. Some things are just so wrong that I find it hard to believe

people can be heartless enough to support them. Unfortunately, America seems to have an abundance of heartless beings.
