Juan Eduardo Alvear: America escaped tyranny, shouldn’t engage in it
If America forgets its immigrant roots, by means of denying the “American Dream” to Spanish-speaking Catholics immigrants living among them, they consequently deny the American Dream to their very own children.
America: remember, you escaped from the tyrannical rule of kings in a struggle that eventually led you to pursue the Declaration of Independence, a brave dream of freedom, liberty and justice for all.
Remember we are all immigrants, created equal, without excluding Spanish-speaking Catholics; thus the American Dream will keep on living. On the other hand, if you choose the rhetoric of Donald Trump and the like, be ready to succumb as the tyrannical king of England did. I pray God will help you choose with wisdom and not exclude your brothers and sisters.
Juan Eduardo Alvear, Merced
