I was in junior high school when my dad got real sick. They took him to a medical center and did a lot of tests. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Then a blood test intern who had arrived here from Korea on a student visa suggested a test for some disease that was common in his country but rarely appeared here. That test pointed out the problem. My dad got the appropriate medication and returned home healthy.
What if Donald Trump had been president and deported the intern? Our country benefits from immigrants from different countries, with different cultures, different religions, different races.
Somewhere here, some "different" person has the knowledge and experience to solve a pressing problem.
We need to maintain an inclusive society. Don't let MAGA deportation policies take away the special sauce that makes America truly great. Trump's policies wreck and weaken our country.
