So glad to see a post on this topic, and especially from such a unique perspective as yours.  Yes, it is very complicated, and I have been frustrated too by the attempts of so many to make it a very black-and-white issue.  There is a lot of gray area here.  And I don't have the answers either.  But it is sad to see so much ignorance and intolerance.

I was glad to see some of the media coverage last night talking about Irish and Polish immigrants who took part in the demonstrations.
