There are thousands of Hispanics and amigos de Latinos in the Jacksonville, FL area ... PLEASE make sure that the film comes here, too! My husband and I have had the freedom to travel ~ in Mexico, and Central and South America; and currently work with a medical clinic and orphanage in Bolivia. Everywhere we have visited or worked, we were/are welcomed with grace and hospitality by individuals and families who have little to offer, materially. Despite their poverty, their hearts are filled with graciousness and vitality; their homes are warm and welcoming.
The Hispanics we have met who come to the US to live and work, some legally and others illegally, add an important dimension and gift to our life and culture. They remind us, in this generation and time, that at some point in history, that we most of us came from people who were immigrants or nomads. It is an important memory to hold close and cherish. Immigrants and the culture they bring enrich our life, personally, and the broader life of our nation. Without immigrants in our midst, I believe that important elements of our culture will cease to exist. We have historically been a nation of immigrants. Altering that fundamentally changes the pattern of America's national DNA. We can't forget that we are all someone's child under the same moon ...
