There is a crisis at the border due to Biden’s inhumane and heartless policies.                                                                       
Hi Friend,
As an immigrant, I am particularly concerned about the Biden administration’s inhumane, heartless policies at the border, particularly those towards children.

Make no mistake about it: President Biden’s partisan, politically-charged policies are driving the surge of unaccompanied minors.

Join us in demanding safe borders by signing our petition today. ([link removed])

It’s understandable that parents want to give their children a chance at a better life in America. But this open door policy that the Biden administration has all-but-officially rolled out is heartless, cruel, and inhumane… not to mention incredibly dangerous, especially for children.

We’ve seen chilling video footage of two- and five-year-old sisters dropped over a 14-foot fence in the middle of the night by human smugglers and left to fend for themselves. Weeks later, we saw footage of a distraught 10-year-old boy pleading for help after migrants abandoned him in the desert.

They join the nearly 19,000 unaccompanied children in U.S. custody who have been apprehended along the southern border in March—AP reports this is an all-time monthly high.

These are just the children who survived the perilous journey. We likely don’t know how many others did not, such as a 9-year old girl who drowned attempting to cross the Rio Grande with her mother and 3-year-old brother, or two teens who drowned fleeing police.

There is nothing humane about seeing children sleeping on overcrowded floors in saran-wrapped pens. They’re taking turns sleeping because there’s not enough space for all of them. They’re also exposed to COVID-19 and may be victims of sexual abuse, as reports have alleged.

The responsibility to stop the exploitation of children rests with President Biden.

This was entirely predictable and totally avoidable. And until he reverses course, casualties will continue to compound, along with the abuse and exploitation of vulnerable children and women.

Speak up and demand safe borders. Sign our petition today. ([link removed])

Thanks,

Patrice Onwuka
