And in just trying you are actually doing it, not just trying but by virtue by your thoughts, words and deeds.

Oh hell yeah.
Founded in 1986 as the Refugee Aid Project by community activists in South Texas, RAICES has grown to be the largest immigration legal services provider in Texas. With offices in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, RAICES is a frontline organization in the roiling debate about immigration and immigrants in the world. As an organization that combines expertise developed from the daily practice of immigration law with a deep commitment to advocacy, RAICES is unique among immigration organizations. A diverse staff of 130 attorneys, legal assistants, and support staff provide consultations, direct legal services, representation, assistance and advocacy to communities in Texas and to clients after they leave the state. In 2017, RAICES staff closed 51,000 cases at no cost to the client. Our advocacy and commitment to change are driven by the clients and families we serve every day as our attorneys and legal assistants provide legal advocacy and representation in an immigration system that breaks apart families and leaves millions without pathways to legal status.

(7,947 posts)It almost breaks my heart to think of how vicious and selfish those born rich are-- they are lucky and privileged in this great country, and instead of thanking god or goodness for their great fortune, they think they deserve billions (Trump) while everyone else doesn't even deserve crumbs. (This is when I wish I believed in heaven and hell.)
But here are these young men, who can only think of helping at this point. It makes me feel better. (But I feel like the nasty inherited wealthy, starting with the Trump family, should be punished with confiscatory taxes.)
I have to think positive, and you know, most people are good. These guys are good.
