A way to unite parents and children..(this will take work and lots of money..yes it's worth it)

1. Consult with experts on choosing a single location...
2. Also consult with representatives of parents, and the parents themselves on which location would be best for them.
......(a single location with outstanding facilities..easy to find)..You know, when there are conventions with thousands of attendees.. or a University location...with great facilities. and outstanding and concerned help of the facility and students there..

3. Announce to the country the exact location of the facilities. (suppose it is a group of hotels..or
military bases or University Campus..Let "all help agencies" know where the 8 to 10 buildings are and
where the children will be located. Then publicize the exact location of these buildings & when children will be transported.

4. Transport the children to the facility. Allow observers and special aids to make sure all is ok.

5. When the children arrive at the facility, then allow parents to check on their children. If there is a
positive, connection of parents with their children, allow the parents to reunite with their children, and
take the children home.

6.
Since the children were stolen from parents without complete identification of the children, the best people in this country will be needed to help match the children with their parents...It will not be easy. But if enough money and care is taken, and the publicity is clear and simple as to where the children are, my guess is 90 to 95 percent of the children can be reunited with their parents.. The key is a single central location. and plenty of help in receiving the children and parents, and help in matching children with parents. These people who do this work, must be people with a background of dealing with this kind of issue, and they must care about children. Not some political appointees from the Trump camp. These workers must want the children to be reconnected with their parents and be willing to do everything possible to help. In the U.S.A finding people like that will be relatively simple..if one looks for them in a professional and complete way. We have a large number of qualified people who would be willing to do this for our country.......

of course. OUR role is to demand quick and complete reuinification. But not to expect it. Plans are in the works for detention camps, eventually for up to and over 100,000 undocumented people. Should call them concentration camps since if deportation was planned to be prompt that much capacity wouldn't be needed. Of course, they might be planning to detain others as well. Our laws are not keeping them from arresting migrants illegally.

Reminds me. Haven't written our congressman and senators today. Their phone message services are always jammed these days.

Btw, here's a group of 10 organizations Hillary is encouraging donations to:

Donate to support families at the border: We can be heartbroken about what's happening at the border, but we shouldn’t feel hopeless.


Make a donation to support the groups working to protect the kids and families separated by ICE:

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project
Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project
Human Rights First
Kids in Need of Defense (KIND)
La Union del Pueblo Entero (LUPE)
Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES)
United We Dream Action
We Belong Together
Womens Refugee Commission

Your donation will be split among the groups listed above, each of which is doing critical work to support and protect these families.

Post them all at one site and where they were taken at, and have an online site all parents can look at to find their child with . Of course they don't want this , they want to keep them separated to hurt them with.
