In the early 1970s, I had two music albums. One of them was Chicago’s debut album, which included a catchy song titled “Does anyone really know what time it is?” In those days there were mostly mechanical clocks and watches (and no cell phones), so there wasn’t the precision of knowing the time as accurately as today. Often, even among family and friends, there could be a discrepancy of five minutes or so.
The mass deportation of irregular migrants continues to grow in momentum. It is increasingly apparent that the targets for these enforcement actions are not only “bad actors,” criminals that no one wants loose on our streets, but also hard working, honest people – many of whom have been in this country for decades paying taxes, raising families and contributing to the common good of our nation.
