I visited a Guatemalan mother deported to her country.
Next to her was her three year old U.S. citizen daughter.
They were living in complete poverty it BROKE my heart.
THIS IS NOT FAIR.
The only difference between her and me was that my parents were naturalized by the Amnesty under Reagan's administration.
I understand Migration is tied to our -USA- foreign policy but until we fix that families-people-children- and lives are being torn apart.
THIS IS NOT FAIR.
They are not criminals, my parents weren't criminals.
They were just surviving.
My mom came here because she didn't see a future for me in Guatemala.
Guatemala was in a bloody civil war - STARTED BY THE UNITED FRUIT COMPANY and THE C.I.A.
THIS IS NOT FAIR.
Look, I understand that everyone is right.
Well, except for racist people (ehem.. tea party and kkk)
But while you fix this whole mess. I.E. foreign policy
You have to help your brothers and sisters.
They are SUFFERING.
THIS IS NOT FAIR.
