I have three godchildren who have a Guatemalan mother (two have an Ohio-born gringo dad, the oldest does not and is considerably browner and more Guatemalan-appearing than his younger brother and sister). His mother gained her citizenship this past summer (I wrote about her naturalization ceremony here:
Off-Topic - Ever Been To A Naturalization Ceremony? ). My wife's family has adopted this entire family into their own and we celebrate Christmas together and usually have an annual beach trip as well. I am worried about the mother (who is like a sister to my wife and a second mother to my daughter) as well as the kids who are like my niece and nephews. That personalizes this assault in a way that is unforgettable and unforgivable.
