Not only could Littlefield fly the U.S. flag proudly to welcome the refugee children from Central America, but they — and not just they, but all of us — might want to get down on our knees in thanksgiving for the blessings of health and wealth rained on Littlefield and this whole area from the years of hard labor in our fields and fields elsewhere. Much of it was by immigrants very similar to these children in need.
What an opportunity they miss if they don’t reverse their stand and encourage the community to do the same.
