Families Being Torn Apart!

Recently the Latino community has been a target for families being torn apart and mistreated.I have grown up in Oregon most of my life and it is not as diverse as let say California where a lot of El Salvadoreans escaped to during a civil war in the early 80's. People from all of central America were escaping left and right due to civil wars. I can remember as a kid seeing dead people and hearing bombs in the night. When we escaped it was at late at night and its was long and scary journey! I don't talk about it much because it was a dark moment and I would like to forget about. But recently I been reminded by all the injustice the Latino community is experiencing. I know there is an immigration problem we must try to solve. I don't know the answers all the way but ripping families apart and mistreating people, having raids in public libraries, storming work sites is not appropriate. My cousin was stoped recently and is now on his way to being deported back to El Salvador this is an out cry! He has been here since he was 11 years old and again escaped getting taken from his family to either be a guerrilla soldier or a the local army where a 11 year old. So we sent money and he went on the most dangerous journey of his life with my grandmother who was in 6o's at the time. Ludwin story is common he married a native American girl who they have been with each other for ten years. They have two kids together and one child who Ludwin has loved and accepted as his own. He has been in the system now for a month and a half. While he has been there his family has suffered greatly. They don't have an apartment anymore because he was trhe primary breadwinner and are living with family. This is an outrage and its happening all over the country. Latinos need to be respected and treated a lot different then this. We have served this country with our the labor of our hands and our country cant repay us this way. Children are suffering and in many cases both parents are being taken by the migra because they both work at the same place. What happens to the kids they are left with strangers and extended family. This is not right. My cousin is fortunate to a least have a lawyer but is still getting mistreated in the jail system. They are treated like unwanted dogs and criminals which I am sure some are but not everyone!!!!!!! I ask that you would care as a christian for Latinos and anyone that's an immigrant because the Bible tells us to. Right now I feel like this is where the Church and Christians need to stand up against injustice! Its important and at the very least we can pray and treat every Latino with respect and dignity we are real people with real families that are experiencing hardship in this great country! So I AM not mad or angry at anyone but am frustrated with the way our culture is handling this right now. People talk about this like there is a simple answer and there is not. I hope that we just have some mercy honor the work of the latino community better then our legal sysytem and our government is handling this at this time. So friends and family please pray for me becasue I am about to get involved in the my community and through service to them and hope you find a way to care about people who need your help here right at home in the US.
