Current policy caused the death of two migrants trying to cross the Rio Grande river after waiting for two months "in line" to apply for asylum. Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez and his 23 month old daughter Valeria.

Over the last year, at least seven children have died in government-run concentration camps at our southern border, and 24 immigrants altogether during the Trump presidency. Many of the detained children still don’t have toothbrushes, diapers, soap, clean clothes, or medicine.
WE support Families Belong Together again to raise money for supplies and legal aid for children at the border. Duane, can you make a direct donation to Families Belong Together?
Any place where thousands of people are detained and vilified on the basis of race or religion without access to fundamental rights is a concentration camp. Children are dying on our soil as a result of Donald Trump’s immigration policies and his Republican enablers in Washington. Families Belong Together provides legal services and other essential resources for refugees fleeing violence and persecution, and all donations will go towards their efforts to reunify families.
Choosing Democracy.
