Another twist: their hearings, the ones for the migrants staying with relatives and sponsors in the US, are conducted at locations close to where they are staying. They do not have to travel back to Laredo.

So because of the Trump Administration’s new Migrant “Protection” Policy (MPP), we are sending people seeking asylum, a LEGAL process, families, children away. Turning our backs on them and leaving them without resources where they risk falling prey to organized crime and cartels

I’ve been thinking a lot about what to do and I realize that there is only one thing: remove every single person in office who supports this president and his policies. Vote. Them. Out. There is no protest or petition or phone call that is going to change their minds.

Charity, however well meaning, is just a bandaid, and we have no mechanism for providing help to those who have been turned away.

But individuals voting is not enough. You-YOU-are going to have to invest TIME and MONEY into the electoral process. Don’t ask me how you can help these people if you are not willing and ready to hear the answer.

The answer is to start working NOW. Volunteer on a campaign NOW. Donate to candidates NOW. Register voters NOW. Treat politics like an everyday part of your life. But the election is more than a year away! Why start now?
