Let the refugees in

I wonder how many of my friends would have opened their homes to Anne Frank if they lived in the time of Nazi Germany. Why do I feel like most of you wouldn't care one bit. My great grandfather was jewish and lost family in the holocaust. He never talked about it or shared his pain. I wonder how many family members of Syrian refugees live with that pain knowing people could care less about their family and friends.

The picture below is a child, drowned escaping a war torn country. He never asked to be the poster child of refugees but has become it. How many other children are dying because we Americans are cowards and won't stand up for refugees. 

Funny though I see people asking and supporting animals more than I ever see them asking or supporting fellow human beings. Honestly it sickens me that people are so full of fake fear that they let others die.

If you care, do something! Network with others, call your elected official, get involved. Because as the old saying goes after they have come for every one else no one will be there when they come for you.
