It is Lent. Be not afraid.
You diminish Ms. Riley’s life when we make it about illegal immigration.
Violence perpetrated against women is wrong wherever it happens. It is wrong when an American is the perpetrator on US soil or abroad. It is wrong when a Latino is the perpetrator on foreign soil or here.
It doesn’t follow that illegal immigrants are evil or more prone to assault or rape or kill women.
Go seek out an illegal immigrant. Listen to his or her story. Be like Jesus. It is Lent.
