I’m fairly certain it has a greyhound ticket inside going wherever they know people residing in the US. You should probably disclose that.
Nah. There was no Greyhound ticket inside this envelope. Before attempting to dictate what I should disclose, you may want to consider the absurdity of being “fairly certain” about things you don’t know anything about.
I provided pro bono legal services in McAllen and Port Isabel. All of the people I met with going through Catholic Charities were given grayhound tickets in those envelopes. That’s what the paper is referencing.
For the second time: there was no Greyhound ticket in this envelope. This family never got a bus ticket. Period.
Ok then they are unique in that situation, to be clear.
I’m on the same side as you, but think it’s important that people aren’t misled into thinking that they are just being sent off as this family was apparently.
If you wanna tweet that giving families a ticket and this sign to navigate the world is a great thing, go for it. No one is stopping you. But don’t come into my mentions, change the goalposts after I confirm this family didn’t get tickets, and still accuse me of being misleading.
It’s still an anomaly. You’re trying to write your narrative as everyone is getting sent on their own without any help. When the reality is envelopes typically come with a bus ticket. This is just one of the mistakes that happen when humans are involved. Dishonest journalism.
