I Was There Tuesday
On Tuesday I was at the southern border. I will tell you what I saw, and then I will tell you what it means.
What I Saw
I saw families sleeping under the bridge. Not tents. Not shelters. The concrete overpass, because there is nowhere else.
I counted forty-three people in that space. Eleven were children under five. I know this because I walked through and asked. Three of the children had fevers. One woman was eight months pregnant.
