My bonus daughter, in fifth grade, is Thai. Her mom is a naturalized citizen and my bonus daughter has derivative citizenship (effective earlier this year before the idiot let geobbels jr in charge).

I am constantly worried about her and what would happen if the terrorists ICE went to their school or pulled her and her mom over at some kind of stop.

Her grandfather (my wife's father) has been very ill lately and they are asking do I think it's safe for them to leave the country if he passes (and be able to return).

I honestly do not know but my initial thought is not without a whole bunch of difficulty. And, is it going to be worth it (I know that sounds crass but I don't mean it to).

I'll never forgive the orange pedo or most of those who voted for him.

She is a ray of sunshine. I try to keep the violence and terroristic actions from her, but it's not easy.
