To the editor:
Reading about the actions of the Trump administration related to the deportation of undocumented immigrants, I have to ask those who did not vote in 2016 or voted against Hillary Clinton because of some animus toward her as a person how they feel about President Trump. We have ended up with a government that sees only black and white even though we live in a society of nuanced grays. (“This is how Trump's expanded deportation policy is being felt across the U.S.,” Feb. 22)
Farmers need laborers. People who hire nannies and housekeepers often turn a blind eye to their immigration status. The businesses that expect their buildings to be cleaned during the evening hours often hire individuals who live in the gray area.
Living in a democracy is a a privilege. Hopefully, citizens will realize that every vote can make a difference and that we need and deserve a government that can look at the big picture and find areas of agreement in the gray area of life. Both Democrats and Republicans must realize they represent everyone, not just the few who voted for them.

Note from KBJ: We had eight years of nuance. How did that work out for you, Lori? It's time we had a president who understands the differences between good and evil, lawful and lawless behavior, and executive and legislative authority. By the way, Lori, how many illegal aliens have you taken into your home?
