anti-immigration rhetoric

Compassion or safe communities?

Imagine you and your family are living a quiet life as best you can in a city in Central America and a local gang leader decides he wants your 14-year-old daughter as his “girlfriend,” and won’t accept no for an answer. Imagine your child’s survival depends on medical care that is not available in your homeland. Imagine militias from neighboring countries or communities have overrun your community and you have to run for your life.
