Unless you are 100% Native American, you have immigrants in your family tree. I know _I_ do. On the 248th day of 2017, at Noon, we got the news we had feared. On 9/5/17, we heard about the plan to potentially end DACA. This puts students, staff, and faculty of the University of Pennsylvania (and across the United States) at great risk. But also it places these people in the middle of a political ping pong game, and that is emotional trauma as well. My inspiration today is to be a person of solace, to create as many safe spaces for people in need, and to aspire to follow the words of the poem on the Statue of Liberty. My prayers are for wisdom in Washington, DC. On this and many issues.
