This is going to be brief, but it's something that I wanted to bring to everybody's attention cause it's sad that it's come to this, but it's good to see that when it counts, people will stick together.
Across the country, hundreds of volunteers are escorting illegal immigrants to their meetings with immigration officials and to their court hearings, giving these illegals much needed comfort and support through these terrifying situations. These volunteers typically aren't lawyers, sometimes they're law students, but normally they're you're normal, everyday people. They don't offer legal advice, just love, support, and comfort which goes further than people could ever imagine. This is one of the best things I've read since Trump has taken office and started all this immigration hoopla. It's a very kind thing to do for another person that can't give you anything. I can only imagine how frightening it must be for these illegal immigrants to walk alone to these offices and/or court buildings and not know if you're going to go home to the life that you've created here or if you're going to go back to the country that you were so desperate to get away from. With all the foolishness that's going on in this country, this is a comforting sign that maybe we aren't as divided as we may seem. It's also comforting to know that these volunteers are going with these immigrants to court and to these meetings, so that they have knowledge of what's going on. It's very possible and likely that because these folks aren't from here, they don't know the language, they don't know the laws, etc, so these volunteers can step in and try to explain things to them. These volunteers can also in a way keep these lawyers and judges honest. I would like to imagine, they would be less likely to spread lies and untruths if they know an "American" is in the courtroom, but that might be wishful thinking. Kudos to those that escort these folks to their hearings and meetings.
