Thank you, Marianne, for the raw truth about what’s doing on as we “celebrate” Mother’s Day in the midst of such cruelty! May God protect the mothers, the children, and may we all take a stand for morality and justice before it’s too late. God bless you.💕

Thank you Marianne for your compassionate heart while reminding us all that, “Sometimes love says NO….not on my watch.” If ever there was a moment for a great uprising of the American people, it is now.

Donald Trump is immune to prosecution when fulfilling the duties of his office … but what’s happening now are NOT the duties of a Any President … They are Illegal and against the Constitution of the United States … Trump and everyone that facilitates these illegal actions should be arrested and tried … and if convicted … they should spend … if not the rest of their lives … decades in an American Prison !!!

Who will clean your Hotel Room if those women are deported?

There are roughly 3.8 million cleaning workers in the United States. The cleaning workforce is largely composed of women, immigrants, and ethnic minorities who receive low wages and have low education levels. They are exposed to physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial hazards.

Work experiences of Latino building cleaners: An exploratory study.

Methods

Qualitative methodology was used to investigate how Latino immigrants experience work as building cleaners. A grounded theory coding approach was used to analyze focus group data from 77 participants.

Results

Three major themes were identified: economic vulnerability, psychosocial stressors, and health and safety effects. Although workers are aware of the safety hazards associated with their jobs, they believe their immigration status limits employment opportunities leading them to accept poor working conditions. They work through injuries and cope psychologically through minimizing negative health impacts and normalizing work-related injuries and illnesses.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that interventions for these workers should recognize the hostile organizational and psychosocial contexts within which immigrants often work.

I think the most important question for those who are opposed is to ask what direct/personal harm each has experienced from an "illegal" immigrant. If there has been direct personal harm such a person needs our compassion. If there has been none, which I believe is the case for most in opposition, they need to be charged to find those others who have experienced harm directly. The need to find the direct experience and weigh it for themselves. Please start asking those in opposition this question. Listen and follow up. Give compassion for their fears. They are like children afraid of monsters under the bed. And the have become united in their fear and they make up stories. Please help them grow.

"May God forgive us, and may He show us what to do to stop the madness."

If you would look outside the fuqin' Bible to Cuneiform tablets you'd be surprised at what you find. "God" in the Anunnaki; more specifically, Enki, Ninhursag...for what they did to get us going. They also reside on a different planet than this one which is why they do not answer prayers. Before Enki went ahead with his idea, he conversed with the Higher-Ups in the Anunnaki... They all had a very long chat, which is in Cuneiform. They did not want to go outside of the Creator's creation. But the UnHoly Bible does not reflect the entire conversation. No. It's a very short line about the discussion. "We shall create humans in our image and our likeness.." and variations of that line.

So, will there be "forgiveness" of...what?!?! Our choices and actions!? The Bible makers created a "God" that doesn't exist. Yet, most of humanity is in extreme ignorance about actual history. "The winners are the ones that create history." even if history is written by lies and deceptions. Yet, there are always those that keep the truth going..in many, many ways.

Let go of your religion of stupidity and ignorance, and check into blasphemy where truth is found. Cuneiform Tablets. New Age is extremely outdated.
