Last night, I was at Youth Group at Grandview Park Church. We were having a discussion on 1 Corinthians 12. One teen had a little girl with her who was maybe 2 years old. She said her name was Mi Hija, which is what her Daddy calls her (It means "My Daughter".) When we were closing in prayer, the request came up to pray for this child, because her daddy was recently deported and she might not get to ever see him again. Then 2 of the youth were talking about how they wish that they could go on their French Class trip to France this summer. Being undocumented makes opportunities like this impossible. One of these teens is also concerned because she turns 17 this year and can't get her residency status.
These are heart breaking examples of how our immigration policies hurt innocent youth and children that are caught up in this mess.
Pray for them.
