Lunch in keeping it postive

On facebook, there was an article about a man in San Diego who runs/owns a seafood restaurant. The article described how he had taken in one of the families that had recently crossed the border coming from Guatemala.

This man whose restaurant has at the most five tables, has been vilified in Yelp and in other media. People have given him horrible reviews and threatened his life. All of the negativity that has been written about him is false.

The backlash of all the negativity is that people are searching out his hole in the wall restaurant and business has been better than ever. I am sure this is stressful for him - the notoriety, the threats, etc. He seems to be a good man just doing what he feels is right.

The family he took in - a woman, her three younger kids and finally an older son (who'd been in ICE detention) are doing well. They will soon leave to go to extended family in another part of the country.
