Jakelin Caal Maquin

Jakelin Caal Maquin is dead......and Boarder Patrol agents dump water left for migrants.....and seeking asylum is a universal human right......and DHS says the trip is dangerous......and people are kept away from ports of entry......and people are met with tear gas at other points of entry......and politicians of every stripe fumble around pointing fingers, blaming each other and planning their Christmas get away......and this 7 year old girl is dead. I'm ashamed.

Yes, I am ashamed. We should be better than this. We should know right from wrong. We should demand more of our leaders and people who work for us. We should understand human rights and the dignity of life. We should expect people to find humane solutions to problems. Sadly, this is only one tragedy added to the list of tragedies around the world. We have to do better.
