 This word Compassion= love, pity, concerned for the suffering, Marcy, Charity, and more. I heard white Fargo, ND  leaders  said this word  to a woman who came here as a refugee. "We North Dakota people have compassion. Really?  

Now one day in the late eighties when we stop coming to ND and other States  because working on the hot sunny fields wasn't  worth coming anymore because of tired   bodies and  we didn't have  money and a good car to drive over  here so we  stayed in TX. Other people who had money because of  Crystal City  school jobs  were  now the ones coming over. Now that day big bother asked  something like "have you noticed that we are  the  forgotten ones  as if the government doesn't care how we live our life's?" Back then  I didn't know what to say I was too busy living for the day as a poor single mother of two  small children but now I think when has the USA  government ever cared about his poor people? Never!!
Now time went by and  it was in the nighties big brother  daughter and I were going into town looking at people lining up to get free some expired foods on highway 83 when big bother said it looks as if we are  living  in a Reservation.  Now daughter and I and I think ever big brother had never been in a Reservation but now I know what big brother meant.  Big bother told me he had to quit school and work on the fields because what father got paid as working picking up trash for the City wasn't  enough then we started migrating to  West Texas then we came  north with Mr. Lupe Serna and his family. I remember mother holding me up to look outside the  truck tent as we drove  to the  farm  houses and I saw the farmer closing an old dark  wood fence where I guess he kept animals or something?  Big brother told me we had to move because otherwise we would go hungry  and migrating we would able to buy a stack once and a while staying in TX was very hot and there was no work. A white man told me it was our  family business. this man  was thinking his way of white life.  The only ones in business were the ones we came to  worked for no such thing for us we were the modern slaves. Now just now I heard on radio that North America had flourished because of Christianity that Christians didn't fear. What a way to look at it No! No!! I say to this white priest USA flourished because white people took land white people brought salves white people killed other colored people. This is why white people were and are  rich. now listen just like my mother hold me up I hold my daughter up for her to see the University in San Marcus, TX the last year we came North.
