Everyone across America heard our President ask Congress for money to remove - deport Criminal migrants who have entered without HBI visa or temporary workers permit.  
Our farmworkers  community citizens are very nervous, especially moms with children. 
Most Farmworkers are non violent they just want to feed their families!  Edition 3 touched on current federal, state & local laws are not written to accept any immigrant/foreigners as equals.
Therefore, although immigrants follow laws, pay tax, work in the fields or with their sponsoring employer as they  wait for citizenship all will not achieve total acceptance of the American dream.

Why? 
Only elimination or legal language conformation to  neutralize and to incorporate Human Rights decree for the world which our first lady Elenore Roosevelt helped to pass in 1948. 

Another reason is us! Many folks use the gossip system not ever getting the real facts.

I would encourage those of you who have never experienced the migrant life to please go to the library read, or watch a video there to know, understand what your neighbor, school friend, co-worker or fellow business person is worried about first before throwing stones at them! 

Other root irritations are by those younger uninformed folks who use these societal moments to act out in a physically hateful or abusive manner toward those of us who are unable to defend ourselves physically nor engage in fighting or name calling.

Bullying.

As a daughter to a strawberry picker my classmate knew mother was a   farmworker. On the playground, in class or walking down the hall my fellow students gave me my first experience of discrimination, hurt of not being accepted. Fortunate or  Unfortunately those same children grew up to be adults! Guess what those same behaviors will continue until they are educated/informed of the reason why certain folks are being targeted by ICE.

Children's boundaries are not that wide,

therefore, parents must guide and share knowledge. The child must understand unwanted touching is a crime. I never told Mother students on the playground played meanly.

 Bullying is a team sport.

Mothers please inform your children to not pick on children smaller than themselves. Next please, talk, remind or at best inform them as to to some of their classmates may have to move. Teach your children not to lie, or hit other people.

Children easily accept change! 

Avoid trauma for all the children...its not easy to remove hurt feelings and especially physical abuse. I barely survived the 70's...hate was strong! Adapt to the moment in time. 

Please be receptive and kind to those different looking people...they love you too! 

Jesus all the little children of the world just as you were born!
