We could all see this in regular news. But I thought this was so cruel and shocking that it merited a post here.
It was a NY Times lede and went out as an alert about an hour ago.
I agree Steve it's the kind of thing that should shock every American and spur us to action.
I wish we had running for President a Latino whose mother walked across the desert while pregnant in order to give them a better life. That's the person I want to see debate Donald Trump. In the interim the rest of us need to debate on their behalf.
As one my favorite songwriters, Brandi Carlisle, says:
They come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
Let 'em laugh while they can
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
And the joke's on them
