Mrs. Betty Bowers - When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best.

She has the knack.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Sorry, but that photo of the kitten just has me undone.

Canadians and Mexicans are our neighbors, for gods’ sake, and they treat us as such whether our politicians deserve it or not.

The line is in the Book of Leviticus and the Book of Mark. Other than loving God, there’s nothing more important than loving your neighbor. It’s just the most basic Christian doctrine, doctrine twisted horribly by many so-called Christians. If only their eyes could be opened and they could reject their hatred-spewing leader.

Biden and others will thank the firefighters who came to help.

But will Trump thank them, or apologize for the horrible things he has said about them in the past?
