What an emotionally grounding feeling to stop a deportation bus!

Last week, the #united4 were released after engaging in civil disobedience outside the ICE detention center in Phoenix, and dozens of dreamers and Original Dreamers were gathered for a prayer vigil. All of a suddenwe saw the bus about to pull 27 families apart and we decided to take action.

‘Bodies on the Border’

Forensics experts in Arizona struggle to identify the bodies of migrants who perished while attempting to cross illicitly from Mexico into the United States.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

The narrator makes a good point: We don’t hear politicians talking about the dead bodies along the border.

 

If they don’t know – shame on them. If they don’t care – double shame on them. Either way we need politicians with a heart – who care about human life, dignity and respect. @getgln

 

The forensic specialist makes a good point: The border crossers would have gladly paid a fee to the U.S. governement for a legitimate work visa instead of paying a smuggler.
