I am so sorry that your family has experienced disrespect in America. I just don't get it.

I appreciate that you are here. I enjoy your comments and Substack.

Honestly, I wouldn't have any idea you and your family are immigrants. It doesn't make any fucking difference. You are an intelligent person with writing talent and reasonable views.

Thanks for your kind words. I was born here. My wife is an immigrant and that makes us an immigrant household. Thanks for your support!

I understand. My husband is Italian from Italy. He was also a Canadian when we married. He had a house in British Columbia.

I am American but lived on a beach in Mexico. When we moved to the house in Mexico, we had to drive through the US to get to the house in Mexico. We were stopped at the US border by Homeland Security. I have NEVER been treated so disrepectfully. The officer accused me of abusing “the system”, whatever the fuck that was supposed to mean. My husband also was treated like a criminal. I have never been more angry.
