Illiterate?
Being illiterate does not mean a person is not wise or resourceful.
It does not mean a person is mean or prejudiced.
It does not mean that a person did not want to learn.
Being illiterate does not mean that person is not a decent human being.
War, poverty, famine which are usually the pushes for a person to leave a land they loved and have been a part of for generations.
To deny people a chance to live in our country because they are illiterate is really cruel. It is also hypocritical!
Our nation was built on the backs of people who were denied the right to learn and deliberately kept illiterate.
There was a whole race of people who were threatened
with death for trying to learn to read.
I am sickened when I hear an official of this country talk about it not being right to have illiterate people come here.
I’d rather have illiterate people who are struggling to do better to come here than to have heartless people trying to keep them out.
Not metered
