Wonderful people. They are very afraid not just for themselves but for others too. Today a young Latino woman who has waited on me once a week for the last ten years told me she is scared because of her looks and accent. They are all citizens (which shouldn't matter) but foremost they are humans. I am retired and grocery shop and see so many people with health or age related issues. Many need more help than they now get yet there are those who will cut back what is already available.This is not what our country should be about. I am disgusted and embarassed to be a part of it. Thank you DU folks. You have made me realize I am not the only one. Peace.
