I am deeply concerned about the division in the US. The statue of liberty has always been a symbol of our welcome to those from other countries My own grandfather came through the St. Lawrence Seaway to get a job with Allis Charmers in WI. He built a prosperous life and fathered my dad and his brother and sister. Where is our welcoming mat? What is happening to our divided country? “When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native born. Love him as yourself, for you were once an alien in Egypt. God is speaking to the Jewish nation in Leviticus 19:34. Some that I have met at the Care Center where I volunteer have come here from horrific circumstances. Where is our merccy? Where is our love for others? Where is the hand reaching out to us from the Statue of Liberty?
