Caravan asylum seekers must continue the quest for compassion
Migrant ‘caravan’ gathers on US-Mexico border
Evangelicals alert ~ "Blessed be the merciful for they shall obtain mercy": Beatitudes Matthew 5:3-11
About 170 migrants in a caravan of Central American asylum-seekers have arrived in Tijuana, joining about 200 others on their final stop before entering the United States.
An opinion letter ~ echo published in the Iowa newspaper "The Hawk Eye"
Some label the caravan heading toward our border as immigrants, others as terrorists. A proper label would be asylum seeking political refugees. That is not PC it is just plain old C. Many have their documentation with them. Many intend to turn themselves in at the border to request the asylum process status. This being our nation’s current law and policy.
Remember, President Ronald Reagan spoke of our nation as the beacon on the hill. This was in reference as to why we are a nation of immigrants and others still seek our shores. They come believing in the noble and alleged greatness of America. The concept of open arms to the downtrodden and oppressed.
The people in the caravan need processed, some may be going back. The right needs to embrace the beacon of hope, justice and humane dignity. They need to climb the hill again and come out of the valley of fear mongering called Trumpism.
