Sophia Jenkins – Missionary Kid Reflections on the USA Refugee Crisis of Undocumented Children
On the news I see plenty of discussion centered on border control, more agents, more guns, and very little discussion on protection of the most innocent and vulnerable. My father reminded me of some African stories. President Kagame and Museveni when they guarded borders would let children cross and protected them from men with guns.

In so doing, we will both conserve and show liberality.
