Dear Friends,
President Obama is denying the children that have struggled to come to our borders from Central America to escape poverty, drugs, violence and death due process as well as their right to claim asylum, and then he is deporting them. Please watch this clip.
Now please write to President Obama (here). The United States of America that I know and love is better than what we are doing to these people.

Save the children by letting them stay
Dear Friends,
All the talk in Washington these days seems to be about how to speed up the deportation of the children coming to our borders escaping a life of violence, death, poverty and hopelessness from their homes in Central America. Stephen Colbert did a segment on The Colbert Report recently that calls out the hypocrisy of our politicians and, I am afraid, our country. You should watch it.
It seems like most politicians from both parties are looking for ways to speed the deportation of these children. Many of these children have grounds for asylum even under our rather antiquated laws. Both legally and morally they deserve a real opportunity to receive asylum. A recent article in The New York Times entitled "Rush to Deport Young Migrants Could Trample Asylum Claims" (here) makes this crisis more personal and real. I hope you will read it, and then demand that President Obama not send these children back to poverty, violence and death.
