I know what I wrote. There’s going to be suffering regardless. I’m not saying it’s right or that I’m supporting it. But someone, somewhere is going to suffer. But who are we to say which suffering is worse than the other. If your kids relied on you to feed them, but you relied on social services to feed your kids then how would you feel if it funding to your kids’ next meal was suddenly gone. Do you have kids in public school? 13.6% of funding for iowas public schools came from federal funding. What about the refugees who are actually here legally? You’re talking about one group of people from your state and calling them “neighbors,” while completely ignoring the detriment your other neighbors are experiencing. No one person is worth more than the other regardless of anything. But its for that reason, I’m so adamant about this. Do they deserve deportation? No. But the many Iowans also don’t deserve to suffer because our morals favor one group over the other.
