I'll help too...

I have been all worked up by the e-mails and news articles that report on the data related to illegal immigrants. Today, I received this one from a friend who pointed out “the rest of the story” about illegal immigration that, admittedly, I had not considered.
Possibly, we do need to rethink our hard line stance and consider the alternative this writer employed.
You know how I have felt about illegal Wetback immigrants in this country:
I've ranted and raved and carried on about them for years.
That changed six months ago when I met the surviving members of the Lopez family. Once I heard the tragic story of how they were orphaned by a mudslide in Mexico that left them with little more than the sombreros on their heads, my heart melted and I could not help but reach out to embrace them.
Accordingly, in defiance of United States immigration policies, I have taken them into my home and given them a semblance of the family they tragically lost.
While that action has been tremendously gratifying, it has not come without significant personal hardship and sacrifice. The cost of providing for the needs of seven new family members has been substantial.
But, we need to remember that we are a nation of immigrants. It may not be wise to close the door just because we are fortunate enough to already be inside. Consider the emotional rewards that would be yours just by opening your heart and your home to likes of the Lopez orphans, all seven of which are pictured below.
