Accepting rather than marginalizing immigrants

One of the most controversial topics of the 2016 election cycle has been immigration. And it seems that Trump's main appeal is to people who fear anyone who prays, looks, speaks, dresses, or even eats in a different way than they do. (Curry may be good once a month when I go to a restaurant in the big city, but every night? Send those people back where they came from!!! - Oh, but please keep the Curry House open, so it's there when I want to eat out.)

Cultural diversity gives us so much more in the way of not only food and fashion, but a world view that allows us - and the people of different cultures we interact with - to become better human beings.

And denying the changes immigration make to a country is similar to denying evolution or climate change. Denial doesn't make it so.

This is one of the reasons I support Democrats - you guys seem to get it!

Please elect Hillary as your president today - she gets it!
