RE: How DACA touched me (A White American)
gingerlocks you have written a piece that should be in the US newspapers. I am white (British) and in fact we could once call ourselves English but that has other connotations so I'll stick with British. My husband is an American born artist but is now British. Incidentally he is a real "Heinz 57" from his background. We don't have Fox News here any more so we can't keep up with the rubbish they tell their viewers, but I'm glad they took it off the air, it was polluting the airwaves. I'm preparing a letter for Mrs Theresa May to protest that they should not award Mr Murdoch to purchase the remainder of his SKY shares so we don't ever have his views here. Your points about DACA so true and we have many friends on both sides of the pond from many backgrounds That means we don't have any problem with colour or race or religion and are shocked what's happening in the US. Never usually write about political themes but this shook me up. Very glad for your post. Thank you JV
Thank you so much. It has always angered me the way so many citizens of the US see immigrants but today my best friend (who is a born citizen as well) confided in the what may happen with her husband. He's honestly one of the best men I've ever seen any of my friends end up with and it makes me angry to my very core. I've always loved writing but my biggest annoyance is that 'president' Trump if you could call him that doesn't care how we think and feel. It's like a nightmare everyday knowing he's the president. Your kind words mean so much.
My pleasure, it angers me too and this is probably the first time I actually wrote something bordering on the political! Anyway I do hope your friends find a solution, or better still the president does. I personally think the whole thing is awful. Best Wishes. JV
