Ok, after talking about this with Rachel, she told me about a couple of situations that made me rethink my 'no tolerance' attitude.
She mentioned that her friend Melanie has a relative in Panama that has to wait 8 years for his application process. And then she recounted a book she had to read for school, 'Enrique's Journey', which tells the story of a Central American boy who tried 12 times to cross the border to join his mother in the U.S., and some of the trials he had to go through were makings for a horror story. I will need to remember to consider there is more than black and white.
