FOREIGNERS ALL: I married an immigrant, and I’m very, very proud of her.
Angela Brantingham taught a generation of Dos Pueblos High School students, staying up late marking papers and on weekends.
I mention this not just because she was so dedicated to her job while also raising our four children, but because the term “immigrant” seems to have taken on a highly negative context since John F. Kennedy wrote the book A Nation of Immigrants.
