Immigration is the only thing I want to remain informed about. I can't take it all. As a social worker I will have to stay informed at some level. But just the facts. Immigration, however, I do want to know. Because it, out of perhaps everything, is where both Ds and Rs are absolutely abysmal and where the average citizen has (without much apparent trouble) bought into absolute fallacy. It frustrates and sickens me beyond measure. I am thankful to you and a couple of immigration attorneys I follow for your insight and instruction.
That means the world to me to hear you say that. As a social worker, you are the front lines of the trauma that our world inflicts on the most vulnerable people. I will do my best to give you a straight answer to what’s going on with immigration in this country for the next four years. Thank you, Catherine. We need each other now more than ever.
The world is an interesting place. For me, not having grown up here, it felt like it was a mix of regressivism and stagnation, maybe a glimmer of progress and returning back to regress where I grew up in. I have learned that it's a non linear process and people can swing either way based on their perceptions of fear, nostalgia, simplicity, stability and hope. I am definitely oversimplifying it for sure.
Thank your spotlighting simplicity as one remedy. I appreciate the spirit of the suggestion. But I am also reminded it the seductive dangers of quietism. We are all connected and must react accordingly.

To spend time worrying about tomorrow while ignoring what positive action(s) you can do today is simply a waste of energy. Live one day at a time.
