With so many tragedies occurring in the past couple of weeks, the immigration news has fallen to the wayside. However, as our brothers and sisters around the world befall horrors in their countries, we sometimes see an influx over here from those lucky enough to escape the war ravaged areas.
Just as the areas in Central America where gang violence, unstable government, and high rates of murder are chasing children up to our border, throughout the world, we see people fleeing violence-torn regions and trying to find solstice in neighboring countries who are kind enough to help.
So in case you are too busy to google it, here are some articles covering immigration this week:
- A former classmate of mine, Nathalie Baptiste, wrote a great article explaining the Child Migrant situation. Check it out here
- For those of you who like videos, Stephen Colbert also covered the child refugees in his show, The Colbert Report.Video here
- The Evangelical Immigration Table has written a letter to Congress Here
- The Washington Post has covered a story telling us who exactly is waiting for immigration reform. Linked here
That should tie you over for today. Keep yourself informed of what is going on in this nation. As elections come up in November, we should seek out congressional members who will help these immigrants and clean up this immigration mess.
