Happy Father’s Day

My 2 1/2 year old daughter is sick this weekend. All last night and all day today, she's needed my husband and me to come to her side and tell her that we’re here - not that we can stop her from being sick but to acknowledge that she IS sick and that it's ok and that it will pass. We take shifts at night. I took the early shift - 8 til 12 and my husband took the later shift. I went in every 45 minutes for a while, finding her in a cold sweat, confused by the cough she has never experienced before. We’re lucky. I can count on one hand the number of times she’s been sick but every time it happens, she’s stunned that her body could rebel against her. She cries, blubbering “I don’t feel well today.” in her eerily accurate grammar. We’re lucky.

There are 2000 children who were on the most harrowing journey of their lives, fleeing their countries because their parents feared for their lives, and at the end of that journey, they were ripped away from the only people they had who could tell them that as hard as this is, it will pass. 

Now they're alone. They're being treated like prisoners. And some of them are sick and all of them are scared and there's no one there to tell them that it's going to be ok. There's no way to know that it will be ok. 

We wouldn't treat a stray nursing dog and her puppies like this. But we have done this to mothers and their babies. WE have done this.

We have the luxury of pressing our children against us and knowing that their cold will pass and then they’ll get to go out and play without repercussions. But such freedoms are on a slippery slope. The moment we start seeing “others” as more of a pestilence and less of our sisters and brothers, our democracy begins to decay. Our moral highground is eroded. “It can’t happen here” is the biggest lie that anyone can tell you. Anything can happen anywhere. We alone are responsible for what happens on our watch. And so we are responsible for the children who have been ripped away from their parents this month. 2000 children in one month. Project forward a year and that’s 24,000 children. We cannot allow that.

Please read the whole post below that (among all the chilling articles I’ve read in the past 24 hours, in the past week, in the past month) but especially this: 

"There is a fundamental principal of international law which arose after World War II: the concept of a refugee – a person deserving of protection because she is unsafe in her country due to persecution in her country based on her race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The United States Government has recognized its responsibility in protecting refugees for almost seventy years – in international treaties and in our own laws. Whatever your politics, it is an absolute and undeniable fact that the US must protect asylum seekers under its international treaty and internal legal obligations."

From FACEBOOK - Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch on June 8 at 4:03pm

Yesterday, I met with a mother whose 5-year-old son was literally pulled out of her arms by a Border Patrol Officer while she and her son cried and begged for him not to be taken. She is an asylum seeker who fled death threats in her country. She has not seen or spoken to her son in weeks. This mother recounted the story of her son being taken, stone faced, clearly unable to begin to access the emotions under the surface. It was the lowest, saddest, most distressing moment of my career as an immigration lawyer.

I chose to be an immigration attorney after my first experience as a law student in the immigration clinic. I was asked to do an intake with a family of Iraqi asylum seekers who were being detained with their 5-month-old daughter. The baby was wearing a prison-issued onesie. Her mother asked me to hold her, because I smelled like the outside world. All along, that moment has been my marker of the lowest moment, the catalyst for my career. Yet that was nothing compared to what is happening today.

I am writing to share with you what I am seeing so that you can be informed and take action. I want to help you know the background and combat the arguments that these parents chose this for their children, that they brought it on themselves. And to combat the lies coming from the Administration, claiming there is no choice in whether to enact the policy of separation.

There is a fundamental principal of international law which arose after World War II: the concept of a refugee – a person deserving of protection because she is unsafe in her country due to persecution in her country based on her race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The United States Government has recognized its responsibility in protecting refugees for almost seventy years – in international treaties and in our own laws. Whatever your politics, it is an absolute and undeniable fact that the US must protect asylum seekers under its international treaty and internal legal obligations. (I am avoiding citations and legalese in this article because I want it to be readable, but I can easily provide citations for anything written here.)

In the last decade, the political situation in Central America has deteriorated. Gangs and drug cartels have taken power and the governments of Central America, particularly in the northern triangle of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, are unable to protect their citizens. People are being extorted and required to make regular payments to gang members. If they refuse, they or their family members are murdered. Boys as young as eight years old are forced into the gangs. If they or their parents refuse, they are murdered. Young girls are forced to become the property of gang members and treated as sex slaves. If they or their families refuse, they are murdered. The police are unable to help, and in many cases have themselves been infiltrated with gang members, so that making a police report brings more danger. Parents are fleeing and bringing their children here to rescue them from rape and murder.

When an asylum seeker wants to come to the United States, she has two choices: come to the bridge to ask for asylum, or sneak into the country. Why sneak in? Well, because border patrol officers often don’t permit people to seek asylum. They tell them to turnaround, we aren’t accepting asylum seekers. In fact, now border patrol officers are patrolling the Mexican territory in front of the borders to keep asylum seekers from even crossing the bridge. This leaves option two: the only way to get in. Historically, asylum seekers who crossed over got immediately apprehended (we don’t have the porous borders the Administration claims we do), then were placed in family detention centers and put through the credible fear interview process. If they passed, they got out of detention and finished out the asylum process in court. If they failed, they were sent back. This was far from a tolerable solution, but it has “worked” this way for over a decade, with subtle shifts in policies and practices.

What changed? The Trump Administration decided in May to enact a “zero tolerance” policy against people crossing the border. This means everyone, regardless of cause or circumstance of entry, gets prosecuted for illegal entry. Parents of children, including infants, are being taken to federal court and their children are being placed in custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. There is NO agency responsible for facilitating communication or reunification of these families. Parents are getting deported without their kids, and shelters are filling up. These families are being transferred and taken all around the US depending on where there is space for them. Parents are not told where they are going, where their kids are, or whether they are okay. If this does not horrify you, check your pulse.

What can you do? Here is the hard part. And I promise to keep working on this. Immigration attorneys can help – that’s easy. You can travel to detention centers and help parents pass their credible fear interviews and get out on bond. A volunteer sheet will be circulating within the next week. Nonimmigration lawyers can partner with an immigration attorney or attend a training (Mark your calendars for an opportunity for Austin Bar Association members the afternoon of June 25.) Nonlawyers – there are the obvious options: contact your legislators and demand an end to family separation. Form mom groups, dad groups, psychologist groups, contact the media, and get loud. Give money. I personally think money is best spent on the RAICES bond fund (https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/bondfund…) where 100% of your donation will help pay to get a parent out of detention so they can claim their own child.

What you should not do, in my opinion: anything to support or legitimize what is happening. This includes offering to foster these kids and take them off the hands of the agency, donate supplies, or assist the Department of Homeland Security in any way. I know your hearts are in the right place, and you want to help the kids. But if the shelters are at capacity and no one is offering to take the kids, maybe the administration will stop taking them from their parents. Maybe they need to feel the pain of what it is to care for so many distraught babies, so they stop the horror show.

Thank you for reading this far, for letting me get this off my chest, and for caring. The only positive that comes out of moments like these is the groundswell of goodness.

In solidarity, Kate

Finally, happy father’s day. Hug your babies close. Hug your fathers tight. Celebrate your connection and your liberties and find a moment in your day to  talk as a family about what it would be like if you had to flee your country. What would you need? What can you as a family sacrifice to help?

ANNE" olmak...💕 *Hayatınız da ilk defa kendinizden önce birinin varlığını düşünerek hareket etmek demekmiş. *Hamile olduğunuzun haberini aldığınız anda, sevdiğiniz ama zararlı olabilecek tüm alışkanlıklardan ve zevklerden sadece O’nun sağlığını düşündüğünüz için vazgeçebilmek demekmiş. *Hayatta ağzıma sürmem dediğiniz şeyleri O’nun sağlığı için yemek ve içmek demekmiş. *Mide bulantılarını, vücuttaki şişlikleri, uykusuzlukları, yorgunluk ve halsizlikleri tolere edebilmek demekmiş. *Doğum sırasında çektiginiz tüm acıya rağmen O'nun hayatı ve sağlığı için, sizin için en zor olanını seçmek demekmiş. *Dünyaya geldiğinde O’nun her şeyden herkesten daha önemli olduğunu düşünmek demekmiş.  *Sevdiğiniz adamı bile ikinci sıraya alabilmek demekmiş. *Onu görünce kendinizin de aslında yeniden doğduğunu hissetmek ve mucizelere inanmak demekmiş. *Ağlamaması için dünyadaki en saçma hareketleri, en komik yüz ifadelerini yapmak, kimi zaman şarkı söylemek kimi zaman da kucağınıza alıp dans etmek demekmiş.  *Ağladığında ondan daha fazla canınızın yanması demekmiş. *Gazı var mı, bugün yeterli beslendi mi? Acaba bu gece iyi uyuyabilecek mi?" diye bir sürü detay düşünmek demekmiş. *Başka birinin kucağındayken yanına yaklaştığınızda gözlerini açıp size bakması, "İnne"(Anne) demesi, o an tebessüm edip, "İşte benim yavrum" diyebilmek demekmiş. *O'nun kokusunu içinize çektiginiz de, dünya da bundan daha güzel bir koku olamaz diye düşünmek demekmiş. *Ona her baktığınızda "Bu bir çılgınlık mı?" ile "Aslında ne kadar muhteşem bir şeye sahibim." düşüncesi arasında kalıp tebessüm edebilmek demekmiş. * O'nun ilk kelimesi, ilk adımı, ilk dişi, ilk hastalığı, ilk arkadaşı, ilk okulu, ilk karnesi ve hayatındaki bütün ilklerde onunla olup yaşamak ve yaşayacak olmak...

I'm on a emotional roller coaster right now and, that's why I'm not posting much. With Harley having a new bed now he keeps waking up in the night and coming into my room. So right now our sleep is all messed up. I'm feeling tired upset and guilty about a lot of things. Sometimes when I feel so tired I can't always play with my son. Sometimes I loose my patience with my son. Sometimes I look forward to bedtime. I think the worst of all is sometimes I feel like I can't wait till school starts just so I can have a break. 😞 I do know these feelings will pass as they always do. It's just that I get so tired. I also know that when my son goes to school I will miss him like crazy. And when I pick him up from school I know I will see his wee face and, I will be so happy to see him because I missed him so much. Being a mom is the best thing and the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. The quilt feelings I have are the worst I'm always doubting myself as a mom. Am I doing this right that right. I should of done that differently. Am I good enough. Is he going to be happy. It's so scary for me knowing that this little person is learning everything from me. Most of all I want Harley to know he is loved and, I want him to be happy. #emotionalrollercoaster #tiredmom #tiredmoms #tiredmama #tiredmomsclub #tiredmomsunite #startingschool #willmisshim #mybabyboy #mybabyisgrowingup #moms #mums #mothers #moments #momlife #momslife #momslove #motherslove #mothersandsons #mothersandbabies #momspage #motherspage #isitbedtimeyet😴 #blogger #momblogger #mombloggers #bloggermom #bloggermoms #bloggermommy
