What if the federal government detained 50,000 women and children
fleeing from Central America crossing the Mexican-American border"What
if the government then dumped them on your street with a promise to
appear later to apply for refugee status? What if there was a law that
says you can't deport minors without a hearing? What if it takes 2-3
years to meet with officials?
What would you do?
1. Separate the babies and children from their mother.
2. Put all the mothers on a bus and send them to Tijuana.
3. Send in SWAT teams to rip all the babies and children from their
mother's arms.
4. Deport the mothers back to Central America on a plane where they cam
from.
5. Keep all the children and put them all to work on a fruit farm.
6. Give them all assistance in the form of medical help and food to eat
and a place to live.
7. Do nothing.

from terrorists?
What would you do?
1. Just shoot them?
2. Do nothing?
3. Ignore them?
4. Detain, arrest and put them in jail?
5. Let them lose on the streets?
6. Load them on a bus and send them all back to Tijuana and shout
"Go back to where you came from! USA! USA!"
7. Load them on a plane and fly them down to Central America.
8. Let one stay in your home.
9. Give them shelter and food to eat and help them get a lawyer.
10. Send in SWAT teams to root out and rip babies out of their
mother's arms.

What if you found out that the children were trying to join their
parents in the U.S.? And, what would you think about deporting
thousands of refugee children back to Central America?
What if you found out that U.S. SWAT teams were going into homes
and ripping children from their parents and sending them back home
alone? According to to U.S. law, a child seeking asylum in the U.S.
cannot be deported. Go figure.
