It was Christmas Day when Aminta Cifuentes crossed into the United States seeking asylum to save her life. Aminta, a Guatemalan citizen, was fleeing her abusive husband. She had endured 10 years of violence.

Today, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he will overturn the rule that allowed Aminta, and other women who are survivors of domestic violence, from seeking refuge in America. We should all be ashamed.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/06/jeff-sessions-bars-most-domestic-violence-victims-from-asylum.html …

Where she encountered ICE armed with
@jeffsessions orders. The shame. As a once abused wife I want to know where are all the#MeToo
women. -
DV me, too!

I’m right here with you! This is reprehensible! We call ourselves a Christian nation but turn our backs... https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Loving-Foreigners … We fool no one. Many will hear Depart from me...I never knew you Matthew 7:9-23 if we don’t care for others! -
Exactly! Truth! I’m feeling literally sick after reading all of this & thinking back ... I’m also saddened & angered at the hypocrisy of ppl. https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Loving-Foreigners …

Sorry for repeating... I see now that you were replying to one with these scriptures.

This has me discombobulated. How how how can we treat others so cruelly? We are no better as a nation than the abusers, adding insult to injury.

Sadly, that’s how it was when I was a kid. My dad would have a knife at my mother’s throat and the police called it a family issue. This admin has become more heartless with each passing day. Lack of compassion is a disease in this country and it starts st the top.

so true—I hope your mom escaped. I hope you’re doing well. DV —me, too, so I understand the pain. -
She did, however the day he died was the day she said she could finally sleep with both eyes closed.

All terrible. Guess what? Terrible things happen all over the world every day. It’s not America’s responsibility to help every person that’s ever been wronged. She took a risk and it didn’t work out although likely better than staying home to be beaten by her husband.

Wow you're a big-hearted gal, huh?

Sounds like reason enough to let her in, declare her magically American, sign her up for some benefits and ensure she can vote for you.

We have the very same disgusting acts going on here in the US. Why would she come here illegally when she could simply move away to another city? Answer=leftist handouts on the taxpayer tab. Quit playing games Kamala, you simply want more victims to control as part of your base.

Why not Belize? Honduras? Mexico? Why did she pick the U.S. ? Why are we so lucky?

So why are we tasked with "interfering in a marital relationship"? Why didn't she flee someplace else to save her life? And MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY: why are you obsessed w ppl who aren't even here? Wouldn't you be happier globetrotting to various cesspools? You obviously hate us!

My Mom was beat by my dad in the late 1960's and police didn't do anything about it. When they came to our house they said it was domestic problem, I was little girl scared he would kill her. They finally changed the laws here in the US, they can get them changed in Guatemala.
