Fourteen years earlier, her father had walked those same 60 miles from the train station in Mountain Home to his job at the ranch he would one day own.

Dolores remembers her parents' determination to make it in America.

She met Domingo Aguirre after a few years and married in 1946.

Dolores and Domingo settled in Mountain Home where they helped run Aguirre & Sons, a large sheep and cattle company.

America, born with the aspiration of becoming “a city on a hill,” faces the serious danger of becoming a fortress, deluded in the belief that walls and airport detention rooms will offer security and prosperity.

Through hard work, entrepreneurship, and complete allegiance to their adopted country, generations of immigrants helped create the most prosperous, powerful, and open society in human history.

Dolores studied at the University of Idaho before moving to Boise to work as a secretary for the Idaho State Land Commissioner, then for the president of First National Bank.In reality, prejudice and brutality beget more of the same, feeding a vicious cycle.In the Islamic world, radical extremists have long claimed that only they offer an alternative to what they perceive to be the challenges of globalization and American hegemony.Here are some things to keep in mind as you seek help.

President Trump’s order last Friday, temporarily banning the citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States, is arguably the most potentially consequential of such fallacious thinking.The problem with the new administration’s ill-advised policies and pronouncements is that they are not only heartless, cruel, and hostile to the spirit of what makes America great, but they are also clumsy, impulsive, and counterproductive.
