Quote by Margaret Regan

“None of the store's balloons seemed right. They offered birthday wishes, congrats on a new baby, but nothing to celebrate the reunion of a mother and child after a government-engineered separation. Then Laurie spotted some early-bird Valentine's balloons. They were red, heart-shaped, and printed with the simple words Te quiero. I love you.”

“I had been terrified of Arizona cops since high school when more than one threatened to deport me during traffic stops.
