Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez left El Salvador with dreams of giving his 23-month-old daughter Valeria a better life in the United States.
His journey ended on the bank of the Rio Grande when their lifeless bodies washed up on the Texas border.
Their deaths were sadly similar to the death of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, who drowned in the Mediterranean on Sept. 2, 2015. Photos of his body on the beach symbolized the refugee crisis in Syria.
Refugees aren’t generalities or stereotypes. They are suffering children with desperate parents struggling to find a better life.
And for those who survive the dangerous struggle and enter the U.S., their children are taken away and tortured. The Trump policy of separating children from refugee parents has led to a humanitarian crisis.
Evil is being perpetrated against children.
Children, on American soil, are being deprived of basic human rights. Families are being torn apart forever. Intentionally.
That some people still accept it, is horrific.

I find it amazing that so-called "Christians" get around the problem by making excuses.
I wonder if Jesus made excuses?

The difference was the the family posted above was seeking asylum, and would not have been considered an illegal.

This has been going on at our border for DECADES. Why is it all of a sudden a “test “ for Christians? I have posted about rape trees, kidnapping, people locked in trailers and left to die, people abandoned in the desert and left to die. In 2017 8 dead bodies were pulled out of an abandoned trailer along with other people.. There are so many bodies found that towns and communities along the border could not afford to properly bury them so the unidentified were given mass graves. I am not picking on Obama but just pointing out there has been a lot of misery at our border for decades, that said the Obama Administration turned children over to human traffickers. Garbage went on under Bush also. People are encouraging those assigned to protect our border to ignore the laws that are written because they do not have the will or courage to change the laws. That isn’t a solution. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas/2017/07/23/8-people-found-dead-30-injuredin-tractor-trailer-outside-san-antonio-walmart-police-say
10 dead, 20 hospitalized after immigrants found in sweltering trailer at San Antonio Wal-Mart
Nine immigrants have died and another 30 were hospitalized after they were found early Sunday in a tractor-trailer parked at a San Antonio Wal-Mart.

Forget the fact that there are TONs of Christian groups operating out of this country going into Latin America to help where they can. My question to those criticizing the detention facilities... Are you willing to let them into your home and have you found time to volunteer in Latin America to help them out there?
