4 Year Old girl kept from her parents because of their undocumented status
Really what more do you need to know than that? Ok, so if you don't feel like reading the article, here's the scoop. Little Emily Ruiz is an asthmatic child, she lived in Long Island with her parents. I am one lucky kid for having lived in LA where the winters aren't as harsh as they are in the northern parts of the U.S. Winter is still a difficult season for me, it must have been prethttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifty bad because Emily's parents sent her to Guatemala so she wouldn't have to suffer with her asthma through the winter. She was traveling back with her grandfather who had been traveling with an H-2B visa. Emily's grandfather had been using that visa to come to the U.S. for the last 5 years, this particular time he was not allowed into the country.
Border patrol officers did not return Emily to her parents because both mom and dad are undocumented. Who the heck made them the authority on that?! Since when are undocumented immigrants not allowed to have their children??? Terrible, long story short, after 5 months Emily is finally being reunited with her parents. Poor thing, hopefully she doesn't remember too much of the trouble when she's older.
Hopefully those Border Patrol officers are reprimanded for their actions.
Thanks for following :)
MUCH LOVE!!!
