Haitian Migrants are still crossing the Rio Grande River. Some are making the trip back to Mexico - resigned to not being able to claim asylum in the US and being deported back to Haiti - where even less opportunities await. I know there is lot of politics surrounding this #migrantcrisis but what ever happened to: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" My father was welcomed here at Ellis Island. He wasn’t turned back or chased away by horses. But then again he was white and jingoistic demagogues weren’t controlling half the narrative. #delrio https://www.instagram.com/p/CUKsEmwFAf8/?utm_medium=tumblr
