Yesterday, the County Supervisors of Tucson, Arizona voted to have our county (Pima County) be "Immigrant Welcoming". The City of Tucson has made this a 'welcoming city'. This is especially noteworthy because Pima County has the most border area of any county in the U.S.A. Human dignity and human life are being given respect. This small 8 x 10 oil study is a depiction of 3 immigrants being captured and surrounded at gunpoint by 5 U.S. Border Patrol agents. It is another version of the last two paintings posted. This image references a real event that occurred along the U.S. Mexico border. Despite the new policy in Pima County, THIS is the welcome that immigrants can expect until we have an 'immigrant welcoming' policy at the Federal level. Still, 'Bravo' Pima County Supervisors!
