   My sixteen-year-old Chilean nephew was curious about what’s going on with ICE.

   In Chile, the word “conservative” is associated with capitalism, and the word “liberal” is associated with communism. He observed that Donald Trump says he’s a capitalist but doesn’t act like one.

   I told him things are different here and labels have different meanings because we have a different history.

     I could see he was curious, but I knew he had no interest in lengthy history lessons, so I said, “I can do it in 15 minutes. I can give you a 15-minute history lesson that will explain ICE and our current politics.”

     “Can I use a timer?” he asked.

     I said certainly.

     I prepared the lesson, and my nephew started the timer.
