GODDAMMIT! I WANT TO CRACK HEADS TOGETHER!

[Aristus]

Just visited with a new patient who is in the US seeking asylum from gang violence in Mexico. She crossed the border legally in El Paso, and already has an asylum plea in the works.

She has an ankle bracelet affixed by Immigration, plain to see during her visit. There's no need for it; she has family here who can vouch for her. A woman seeking safety for herself and her children from criminals in Mexico is being treated like a criminal here in the U.S.

I just want to commit murder sometimes...

1. Xenophobia 101.

Identify the scary other.

2. I hear you, my dear Aristus!

I often feel exactly the same.

What's happening to our country is horrible and seemingly without end.
