    The United States has a lot to give immigrants and refugees—and a lot to receive. By showing no empathy for the plights of people like Mr. Solera, the current administration does damage to people who desperately need our help and to the future of our country.

    He doesn’t know how he’s going to buy gas to take his husband to the doctor, or how they’re going to pay bills that are due. Scott is making impossible choices between buying the prescription drugs he needs, and the ones his husband needs.

    Scott and Jay spent all their savings to get through this ordeal. After paying for medicine, hotels, and airfare, they were living paycheck to paycheck. Now, because of the government shutdown, Scott’s paycheck reads zero dollars.
