Our World
Tears of The Mother
Welcome to America
We are a country of refugees. Fleeing religious persecution, seeking political asylum, escaping poverty, searching for a better life...
We come clinging to our dreams of acceptance and hope.
When did coming to America mean to separate families looking to us for help?
When did coming to America mean we rip children from their parents?
When did coming to America mean it is alright to put children in cages, frightened, alone, confused, sent to live with strangers?
Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico
Fleeing to our open arms?
When did this become who we are as a country?
This piece was created in response to the Trump May 2018 executive order "Zero Tolerance".
This resulted in 2,300 children to be separated from their parents. Some children are forever lost in the system, never to see their families again.
