The United States is a country built on immigration. Millions of immigrants took a bet on an America where it didn’t matter where you came from, what you look like or how your pray— but one where we believe in the rule of law, justice & equality.
The America so many of us, our parents or grandparents or great great grandparents, believe is the America where a Rashida, an Ilhan, an Alexandria, a Pramila or an Ayanna could — and should — lead.
But this administration doesn’t believe in that America. The racist tweets by the president told four Congresswomen to “go back to the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.” But they are all Americans just like US. This racism echoes the kinds of things that people of color and New Americans in this country have been told by bullies and demagogues all our lives.
