I had a “discussion” (which miraculously avoided becoming too loud) about a little girl from Guatemala. Her parents had brought her to the US for medical treatment, and to escape the Mayan genocide going on in that country. As it happened, the child died in one of the camps along the border.
“Well, she should have waited at home.”
“For what? For America to help? WE were the ones who put their president in office, and their army is using tactics we taught them to round up and kill the Mayans.”
“Well, I still think she should have waited. And she died anyway, so what difference did it make?”
I narrowly avoided slapping the woman across the face. With a chair.
