It also remind us of our responsibility to stand up against the marginalization of ANYONE.

What about the fact that I was treated guilty until I proved myself innocent by the "Adam Walsh Child Protection Act"? Why do you consider it just that I had to be separated from my wife and step-daughter for almost 2 years, while doing the LEGAL action of trying to get them into this Country? So to you it is perfectly acceptable that an American follows the law and ILLEGAL Immigrants can just waltz right into the United States? Where is my justice? Why must I pay taxes to support CRIMINALs? Why does someone who contributed NOTHING to the growth or greatness of the USA get the same "retirement" benefits of parents who struggle just to make ends meet? Why am I losing my home while these people in Alabama get to live for free or at a reduced rate? Why do I have to pay thousands of dollars in health care expenses every year and these CRIMINALS get to walk into an Emergency room for FREE?
