It is the year of politics, but let’s face it… It’s always the year of politics.

So, President Obama’s move to stop deportation on a certain segment of the population can be perceived in so many ways. Sure, we can call it pure politics. I would also say that inaction by politicians on Capitol Hill should be labeled the same way. This is something no one wants to touch.

What has ceased in this country is the making it a place of promise and opportunity. We’ve made opportunity into a political football.

Trying to help children who have had no say in where they live because they’ve followed their parents may be “political” in a year like this, but it may just be the right thing to do. Inaction to this point has certainly done nothing.

We are not about solving issues in our culture these days. This may not ultimately solve an issue, but is should give us the opportunity to talk about what is right for those who are on the margins.
