I'm not arguing with you, pdq. I would like to encourage you to continue to carry your arguments. I admit to being a bit course on this subject. That is because in my work with the victims of the ICE raids, I have been in the homes of many folks that are described in ways I know not to be true. Because I have spent the best part of 30 years in the trenches, I tend to be uncompromising on these subjects.
In the past I have suggested that racism and xenophobia drove you. That was wrong of me, and let me take this moment to say to you that I apologize. I do believe that there is societal racism and xenophobia at play in this issue, and I will continue to say that. But there is no need to make it personal. I have done that and I apologize.
