I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country.

We're scared now.

There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in

democratic, Republican, and independent families,

some who fear for their lives.

And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor

in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants

and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation.

But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.

They pay taxes and are good neighbors.

They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, Wadara, and temples.

I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away,

and that you help those who are fleeing war zones

and persecution in their own lands

to find compassion and welcome here.

Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger.

For we will all want strangers in this land.

This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on these people.

You're going to the same time I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.

The people have had a belly full of it.

I know you don't like hearing that.
