I believe that unity begins within the family. If one cannot maintain harmony at home, it is difficult to govern or protect a community. The challenges faced in California are mirrored in many parts of the world; the United States is not alone in addressing the issue of deporting those who have violated the law. This morning, while reflecting with gratitude, a thought occurred to me. The most significant threat to our nation may be the influx of illegal drugs and powerful drug traffickers, who are causing immense harm. It is concerning that there seems to be a passive acceptance of those who have broken the law. Some individuals have previously proclaimed that “no one is above the law,” yet it appears there is a double standard regarding the legal status of those residing in the U.S. illegally. The consequences may not be fully realized until it directly impacts oneself or loved ones. I understand this is merely my personal perspective, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. -CM
