Let’s Talk About Detention
By now most of you have seen the pictures at our southern border of asylum seekers and people fleeing their countries. What about undocumented people already here in the U.S. Some of them overstayed their visas, some were brought here as babies or small children and didn’t apply for citizenship when they reached eighteen. Some never knew that their parents were undocumented. Do you know what the intake process includes? Do you know what happens when a person is stopped for a traffic violation and can’t produce a drivers license or other identification? Do you know how the prisons housing the 155,000 undocumented detainees are run? I ask that you check the web for answers to all these questions so that you’ll be in informed about this difficult subject.
