Dear editor,
A recent letter to the editor was from a woman concerned about her blood pressure. She said that she couldnt find any verification of the claim about children being held in cages at the border.
Maybe I can help. I Googled Children in Cages and found multiple such references as recent as June. There were, however, some arguments that the enclosures should not be called cages but should be referred to as High Chain Link Partitions.
OK. Whatever.
The wretched problem, as I see it, is that people, many of whom are legally claiming asylum, had their children seized from them, as the attorney general has admitted, to deter others from coming. Tragically, it appears that in many cases there are no records at all which will permit the children to be reunited with their parents soon or maybe ever.
