There was a small but wonderful reminder in the Grand Rapids Press over the weekend of the Fiesta 2010 to be held in Holland on April 30 and May 1. To me, it sounds like it will be a beautiful celebration of Latino culture and heritage.
Unfortunately, in the "comments" concerning the celebration, the first person to comment suggested that:
"Its time to send in ice (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and start to arrest the illegals at these events."
Our Latino brothers and sisters in Holland are getting ready to have a party, a fiesta. I would hope that the only police or law enforcement presence is there to maintain order, direct traffic, etc., no different than any other large gathering of people be they of European, Asian, African, Pacific Islander, or Native American descent.

P.S. I also wish that folks had to identify who they are when they submit comments to the on-line editions of responsible newspapers and magazines. For what it is worth, I'm Roblloyd in the comments section of the GR Press and MLIVE.com.
