It was very strange
to explain
so much
to immigration.
It was a test.
They asked for my identification
for me
for my daughter.
Then they took us
to the hielera—the cooler.
They brought us food.
We were there three days.
We slept on the floor.
My daughter cried
for three days.
They gave us a frozen sandwich to eat
and juice.
It was very cold.
Mother 10-26-16 My First 7 Days in the USA
So very sad that so many Americans do not understand why it is important that we take in refugees and that they deserve humane treatment from our government. Somedays, I feel like maybe we should just take down the Statue of Liberty if that is how we are going to treat immigrants from other nations.
