“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. “-Hubert H. Humphrey
Our government’s leadership has failed the most basic test of morality today, as President Trump directly attacks the most vulnerable among us: undocumented children, who have truly lived in the shadows of life for far too long. Now, backed into a corner by the racism and xenophobia rampant in our country, they’re facing an uncertain fate. As citizens and scholars, the burden now falls to us to fight to ensure that our friends, neighbors, classmates, and family are all guaranteed a safe place to live and the peace of mind they deserve.
