Separating families
The thing with being scared that it won’t be the same next day is that you get used to it. There is no other feeling.
Many people think it is alright to separate families
Why?
Why would you want that? Three men trying go home to their families.
Yeah they might not have listed to the law,
But they didn’t commit a bad crime
They didn’t kill someone…
They pay their bills.
Hey those people look like they aren’t from here let’s pull them over.
Let's stop them because there windows are tinted.
Yeah, let’s stop them because they are taking our jobs. Let’s help make “America great again”
Who cares about their families lets arrest all of them,
Even though one person is driving, arrest them all they don’t know their rights
Take them to detention
Where they will receive the best care.
Where they have to wait in court to see what will happen to them.
Where they won’t be able to see their families for Thanksgiving, Christmas, nor new years
The family only has permission to see them on Saturdays for less than 2 hours
His kids..
2 year old- crying everyday wanting to see her dad
Little 5 year old -When will we see our dad.
Wife- i have to start working extra hours,
how will I pay the bills?
14 year old son- I am starting to become depressed. I don’t know what to do.
I don’t want to move to a different country. I don’t even know how to write in spanish
Family- We are praying to be able to see him in our home again.
But you known that how it goes they get
Will they get to stay here or have to leave…
It will be decided by the court.
