They're sick; their feet are bleeding. The children need nutrition, clean water and a day's peace. The adults are sick and exhausted from a long, desperate journey to save their family's lives.Yet despite the New Colussus lighting their welcome at the Statue of Liberty, they will be met by a government declaring we don't abide by our own laws, that's deployed the military for symbolic bullying power to back up the border agents, and now there are wacky militia groups running in to be heroes.

If you'd like to and are able to contribute, here's the link to UNICEF to help the children at the border: https://www.unicefusa.org/stories/help-migrant-children-fleeing-violence-and-poverty/35091 . Good to know somebody is saving them from "us."

tear down the Statue of Liberty. It is not what 'Murica stands for any longer as LONG AS this ass is in office, or the repugs own Washington.
