Dr. Colleen Kraft, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, visited a shelter in Texas' Rio Grande Valley where some of these children are held. She spoke with All Things Considered's Audie Cornish about that visit on Monday. She said she's concerned that the stress the children are going through will have long-term health effects.

These children are not pawns,our potus should never have used them as such. We all have emotional scars,which are not shared with the world. Too bad,we can't find a better way to enforce immigration.

An illegal order was issued to deal with illegals and refugees that are legal, violations of the 8th Amendment and federal child abuse laws CAPTA is what resulted with an illegal order, what will happen now are suits against the US due to violations laws.
I have once again resumed having nightmares of seeing and hearing children dying as well as the crys of mothers pleading with me "Save my babY"
I am afraid to sleep and taking my sleep meds makes it worst because of those nightmares.
