They pay taxes and are good neighbors.
“I ask you to have mercy, Mr President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here,” Budde said.

Neither Trump nor Vance showed much obvious reaction to her words.
