The CBS Sunday Morning program featured an article about Demuss Ansly from Haiti. Since persecution in 2017, he has traveled to Brazil and then entered through California seeking political asylum, ending up jailed in Cleveland. Melody Heart and Gary Benjamin along with others stepped in to help; even though Ansly was granted political asylum twice, he remained jailed. The government said he remained a flight risk.
Ansly is one of 50,000 immigrants seeking asylum being detained every day in our free country with little help being given to them and at continuing expense to the taxpayer. Why, as our Independence Day celebration nears and with a government wanting to make America great again, do we continue to incarcerate families and separate children from them?
Our country is made up of immigrants and they are not all coming from Central America. Why is Apple willing to move major production from Texas to China because minimum wage workers are not skilled enough? I bet half the people wanting to come into the United States would do the work and the jobs would remain here.
If it’s up to our Congress to change the laws about immigration, then contact your congressmen and senators and tell them to do something about it.
