Close the immigration jails along the Texas border now.
I am adding my name to a list of residents who strongly object to the intentional trauma and terror children and their families are being subjected to at detention centers along the Texas border. We understand that the conditions are horrendous. Out of human decency, we implore you in Congress to demand that these centers must be closed, as well as every child to be reunited with his/her family members.
Why is this important?
I am a Family Therapist who works with children and families every day. I cannot look away from glaring child abuse. Our government's intentional terrorizing and traumatizing of the poor, and especially children, is unconscionable. This is a dark day for the U.S. that we would allow this treatment to happen to anyone, let alone innocent children and their parents who are fleeing impossible conditions in their own countries, brought on, in part, by our backing of their own corrupt governments. Please speak up now for all those stranded at inhumane border stations.
