Young immigrants arrive with their parents at the Catholic Charities RGV after they were processed and released Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in McAllen, Texas. |
"Heartland Alliance does not agree with separating children from their parents at the border. It is our moral obligation to keep children safe while they are in our care.In the process of helping the kids, and protesting the program, you don't want to hurt the people who are trying to do the right thing. So what can you do?
We operate nine shelters in the Chicagoland area, and our first priority is the safety and welfare of the children in our care. We provide a stable, nurturing environment. Our staff speak the languages of the children in their care. They focus on the children’s well-being and help them to heal from trauma, and work to reunify the children with their families as soon as possible. Keeping the identities of children and details of their circumstances confidential is essential to these efforts."
(I wrote this part last night. This afternoon Trump held an event where he gave statistics of "the human toll of illegal immigrant" He starts talking about homicides and kidnapping from a 2011 report with idea over what period of time these happened. Then he talks about arrests in Texas over 7 years of "criminal aliens" (vs "illegal aliens") with no break down of the crimes. After talking about murder, robbery and kidnapping people will assume they are from homicides, robberies or kidnapping. The Washington Post did an analysis of Trump's number of crimes committed by people who entered the US illegally? Guess what? They are totally BS, untrue, made up.

Fox or Trump PR will find a story of a human trafficker from MS-13 who claimed to be a parent. Even if they have to go back years and ignore tens of thousands legitimate asylum seekers, they will get that story to Fox, Breitbart and Town Hall.
