To use an old adage, on a farm there is a difference of concern between a chicken and a pig when someone decides to have ham and eggs for breakfast, because for one animal it involves being involved and for the other it means a total commitment (regardless of whether they want it or not.)

For individuals who have heard and seen messages suggesting that their religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity or race or that of a fellow citizen, might be used to prohibit them from entering or re-entering the country, ban them or family members from living in the U.S. (the only country they’ve ever known), prohibit their right to marry, and endanger the health and lives of their children because of ignored environmental concerns, there is an urgency that might be not understood by some, but essential to brought to the forum of ideas that makes a true democracy work.
