More than 144,000 migrants were apprehended or denied entry into the U.S. last month. This is the largest number in 13 years.
More than half of them were families with children, and about 8% were unaccompanied minors.
Last month, Texas shelters held more than 5,800 migrant children.
We are sickened, saddened and outraged. This needs to stop!!
We’ve compiled a list of organizations that are mobilizing to try to help children separated from their parents and asylum seekers at the Texas-Mexico border.
Please visit their websites to donate, and make sure to follow them on social media to stay in-the-know about the steps you can take to clean up the mess our administration has created.
