Yes I also wondered some of these. I loved them and they made my night. Be well. Hugs
Thank you for posting this. Either we are a humane people or we are not. This type of treatment for any child to suffer just to get to safety and be vetted. Look I understand the need to check people out. It doesn’t need to take this long, and there is no need to hold mothers and their children in prison or jail like settings. Release them to a willing sponsor and let them show their worth and share their abilities. We live in a country where the NSA knows our emails and our phone conversations. we have cameras on most streets, in businesses and a lot of homes. Heck police can now take a photo and scan for it online, and the internet will show where this picture is. So it is not like we are going to lose these people. Even if a few do slip through the cracks, which is not what they want to do, they are a small number that won’t hurt us. Think of it. Mothers and children in jail. What if it was your mom and you as a child. What if it was your daughter and grandchild. If you have a deity what will that deity say to you when you meet them about this? IF you believe in a progressive world, how is this progressive? Think. Hugs

Tomás and his mom, Natalia, are amongst at least 60 other moms, dads, and children who were locked up after seeking safety here, though they fled from violence in their home countries.
A fair shot never happened for Tomás, whose real name we’re withholding for his safety. After hundreds of days behind bars—where he suffered PTSD and his weight shrank to just 40 pounds—he and his mother were deported without ever…

I like this ideal. I think it has been well proven that most of those in congress are concerned with their own wealth and power than they are for the health and welfare of the people they falsely claim to represent. I would love to hear everyone’s ideas on this. Hugs
