They hired her, even though she was undocumented, and in return, they got the best employee that they have ever had.
At a time when they were not themselves legally allowed to marry here in Iowa, despite their having been together for more than a quarter century, they opened their home to us for our own wedding reception back in 1997. A decade later they were themselves able to legally marry.
I was shocked today when somebody here on DU said that our friends should have their business shut down and their property confiscated, simply because they hired my wife.
This is not socialism as I've ever understood it.
It's something else, and whatever else it is, I don't like it.
I just don't.

It's called inclusion...and most of us here believe in that regardless or race, sexual identity, culture, color of skin, etc.
Be well and rejoice...they are just fringe, at best.
