The U.S. is engaged in "forever wars" around the world yet we refuse to accept responsibility for our actions and grant refugees asylum.

Since Trump took office, we've been granting fewer refugee applications.

This is a total disgrace.
The U.S. hasn't been very welcoming to refugees in comparison to other large nations, such as Germany and Lebanon.

This is a mistake.

According to research by @amnesty: "two out of three respondents agreed that their national government should do more to help refugees fleeing war or persecution."

Congress is taking action.

After our complaint to DHS that families w/kids were held at Karnes past 20 days allowed under Flores, 17 members of @HispanicCaucus like @JoaquinCastrotx, @RepRaulGrijalva, & @AOC are telling DHS to release families.
…sionalhispaniccaucus-castro.house.gov/media-center/p…
Thank you to all members of the Hispanic Caucus for this.

We need to get these families released, & further we need to END FAMILY DETENTION once & for all.

It's monstrous that we lock up parents & children for seeking better lives. No moral, modern society should do so.
18* members, whoops!

Listen to these stories.

A mother w/her child trekking to the border, no clue about family separation, arriving & jailed in a detention center, where she says "inside every cell" there was crying.

We're torturing families for wanting better lives.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
Elsa, the mother, was deported while her son, Anthony, was kept in a Houston shelter.

Even though the Trump administration said there was no family separation policy.

She was alone in Guatemala, without her child, unsure what to do. She got calls from him, but that's it.
Three MONTHS later, Anthony was flown to Guatemala. They were reunited in the airport, mother bawling.

We continue to see scenes like this in the States, like what happened w/baby Juliet in San Francisco, even though Trump said he ended family separation. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

“Border agents in Southeast Texas have apprehended more than 100,000 immigrants attempting to enter the United States illegally since the beginning of October,” Samuel Chamberlain reports in Fox News. “In a statement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said its agents in
the Rio Grande Valley Sector -- which includes the cities of Brownsville, McAllen and Corpus Christi -- were on pace to apprehend 240,000 illegal aliens for this fiscal year. That would be an increase of approximately 50 percent over the 162,260 migrants apprehended between
October 2017 and October 2018.”

“SHE CAME TO THE US BECAUSE

the gang told her if she didn’t pay the extortion money they demanded, they would kill her and her young daughter, and make her watch them kill her daughter

THIS WAS NOT THE WORST STORY.”

A harrowing

♦️Project Corazon♦️

tale from #L4GG’s @mgremb:
Even worse was a mom who came to the US with her daughter “Celia” (not her real name). Her other daughter had been kidnapped by the gang a month ago and never seen again. The gang said Celia was “next,” and threatened to kill the rest of the family, so they left.
It’s taken me a while to write about the time I spent with the Dilley Pro Bono Project at the immigrant family detention center. It’s difficult to put into words the jarring mix of hopefulness and fear, the moms waiting for news and the laughter, crying and sniffles of children.

We are both proud advocates for diapers.

Hey everyone! I'm a Special Ed teacher for middle boys at a residential facility in PA and I'm looking for help building an Escape Library! We work with boys who have dealt with significant sexual trauma and are woefully short on good books!
If you or anyone you know is willing to donate some fantasy/sci-fi, YA, or other imaginative books, please DM me and let me know! I, and my students, will be forever grateful!
Also, if you're willing to spread the word, a RT would be super helpful!
