"He must have come from some broken place which would have caused him to go on a journey like this by himself"

-Actor Scarlett Johansson upon finding out the origin of her ancestors that came to America in 1910 searching for a better life.
Think about this a moment:
Her story is like so many stories we see today. People coming to America with no money, but their pockets, hearts and soul are full...of hope. The story becomes one of triumph over adversity...until we say its from Mexico. Then Republicans call it an invasion. Smh
Scarletts family story is so similar to many today. Those that stayed behnid in 1910 were in Poland in 1939 when Hitler came. We all know the sad and horrible story of what happened. It is not such a leap to understand the cartels in Mexico and dictators elsewhere do the same
Why does the story change to an invasion when it is people from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras etc? The rejection comes from individuals in the GOP like Ted Cruz that, sadly, can trace their own family to the same past, and yet the want the worst fate for them. DeSantis? SAME story:
Ron DeSantis can trace his past to Italians. Italians treated as if they did not count when they came here as well. As he ships people around like cattle, the Italians were shipped to warzones. Citizenship...if you make it. Smh. THIS is what they should remember on #ColumbusDay
