Monica.....many thanks....think your opinion genuinely helpful.....and to some degree comforting!

I think you are seriously right that we are a bit spoiled (my interpretation) and unprepared to organize....

There appear to be a number of serious folks who are calling for "organized response" but what kind is unclear.

We have mayors and others in major cities who are seeking sanctuary status (forgoing some fed money to do so) that want to protect migrants....I worked for Catholic Charities during a period when the sanctuary movement was a big deal, Church-wise. 

And of course it's not just immigrants at risk either?

Hope dinner prep went well!
