They thought they were witnessing a tragedy in Somalia or Haiti or the Sudan. They think to themselves. they think. this does not look like the America that I know. Some have even come to refer to the survivors of this catastrophe as refugees. as if the image of the survivors they are seeing are too foreign for them to recognize them as Americans. The people you see on television are not refugees they are Americans. They are Americans. And for some of us. though. let me just say. for some of us. this is an America that we know very well. an America that is often swept under the rug by lawmakers and the media.
