I was at my children's clinic in Texas where we took care of mostly illegal immigrant children. When the news got out, many of our neighbors in the area came to the clinic to watch the ongoing catastrophe, to commiserate and to get information as well as relate information (Telemundo was on the scene and their news was accurate and to the minute, many times much more informative than our network or cable news.) It was all day and went on for days.
Sorrowfully, sadly, tearfully, these women came and voiced their condolences and worried about the future of their chosen land of refuge. It was as if we were all mourning the death of a beloved family member. I will never forget the hugs, the tears, the words of comfort from these women, many of whom were in sad situations of their own.
All I can say at this time is Hold Strong America!
