[quote=Wonttakeitanymore][quote=Kevyn]Doctors Without Borders is an amazing organization that provides medical care in war zones, disaster areas and places of impoverishment around the world.
. MSF teams have been providing medical and mental health care to migrants and refugees along the migration routes through Mexico since January 2013. From 2015 to late 2019, we have provided more than 42,000 medical consultations and more than 11,000 mental health consultations for migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and deportees in Mexico. Many of our patients need mental health support due to the significant stresses related to conditions in their home countries as well as on the run. Treatment for women often includes medical and psychosocial care for victims of sexual violence. Teams provide primary care as well as treatment for acute and chronic diseases whenever possible.
MSF’s direct experience on the ground points to a broader humanitarian crisis in Central America. Despite the catastrophic conditions in the region, the US and Mexico generally treat people from the Northern Triangle as economic migrants, and have focused efforts on detention and deportation rather than on providing protection and support. MSF is calling on the US and Mexico to provide humane treatment to all refugees, asylum-seekers, and migrants and to stop deportations of vulnerable people back to a dangerous region.[/quote send them back to their own countries and teach them how to fight and grow food! Amerika is turning out to be just another dictatorship![/quote]
More then half million homeless Americans, over 100, 000 of those part of a family, 400,000 foster kids, another 100,000 waiting for adoption. Those are the numbers we know. If we aren't feeding our own, sheltering our own, protecting our own " why are we taking on more"? "Is this about perception"? How do the hungry American children feel when they're left to fend for themselves as we embrace others countries people? What are we telling them, you're not important? How bout we clean up our own backyard first?

Yes, I financially support Doctors Without Borders and have donated medical equipment and supplies.
When you donate, they send you a thank you/reminder to consider them again tote bag. I get a bunch of them, just to keep reminding me. They make great "go bags," to stuff with toiletries, gloves, masks, hand sanitizer and clean socks..
Stuff my tenderhearted son who has been briefly homeless due to illness, learned can be helpful. We hand them to panhandlers or parking lot beggars. Sometimes throw in a candy bar, a can of soup or a stack of Pringles chips...

Perhaps as soon as we get rid of GOP congressmen and State officials cooperating in vacationing with, trafficking and buying sexual favors from children rather than serving humanitarian needs of contituents.

The better way to do it is to provide emergency care at the boarder and then a place to stay on the Mexican side of the border. The only new people who should be quickly welcomed into the USA are those people with the education and drive to contribute to this great country not those who will just keep demanding services without providing services in return. We have enough of those already .
Absolute t***h.

They aren’t coming though Ellis Island where Lady Liberty stands. “ bring your huddled masses of sex traffickers, drug smugglers and criminals yearning to plague its tempid population”. There’s a process and not a free for all.

Yes, the surge of undocumented immigrants overburdens our immigration officials, our welfare programs, our law enforcement people, etc.
However, there comes a time when we need to surrender our conservative logic to the Divine Mercy of God, and trust in Divine Providence to strengthen our country by our charitable acts. When it comes to helping our suffering neighbors, the Christian way is to freely give without measure.
Jesus, I trust in You 🙏
