Can't empathize? Show this article to a friend; he or she likely can. One-third of Americans of working age have a criminal record. Obama smoked pot and snorted cocaine. George W. Bush had a DUI; Dick Cheney had two. Roughly 17% of all Americans (including children and other non-drivers) have a DUI conviction.
Let he who is without self-righteous BS Christian sanctimony cast the first deportation.
Trump and his fellow Republicans' repugnant decision to expose DREAMers -- who, by definition, have clean criminal records -- to deportation is a classic example of the peril of the slippery slope. This is what happens when the Left goes to sleep because a Democrat is in the White House.
First Obama came to deport the children who knew no home other than the United States, but we said nothing because they had criminal records (even if they weren't a big deal and/or referred to crimes that occurred ages ago). Then Trump came for the kids with no criminal record at all, but we said jack because they didn't happen to have the right immigration documents.
By the time they come for U.S. citizens -- you know the rest.
