Do Something Good
We’ve talked about the migrant children at the border before, but we’re starting to hear about how the situation has gotten much worse. Children are sleeping on the floor, being deprived of food, clean clothes, showering, and supervision. There are flu and lice outbreaks and kids are being abnormally punished (in ways outside of what I just mentioned).
The situation may get better. The house signed off on a $4.5 billion emergency boarder aid package, but now it needs to go to the Senate.
How can you help? CNBC has a great article about migrant children at the border and a list of places to donate, from ActBlue to the United We Dream, Mijente, and Immigrant Justice Corps.
One thing that’s important to know (the article points out) is that in this case, it’s better to donate money than physical items like diapers, food, or toys. Why? The Texas Tribune told us that a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol facility near El Paso recently turned away a physical donation.
