Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
With the intentional and ever increasing violence and Cruelty being enacted against immigrants and asylum seekers, it is time to remember these words of President Roosevelt. The Trump administration is daily ripping away at the true values and character of our nation. Unless we stop this madness we will all live to see the death of democracy as we have known it.
