America is huge country with a huge population and plenty of wealth and resources to help these children. What would it hurt these griping, hateful people to show a little compassion and give these kids some help? What about all the bragging about American being a nation founded on Christian ideas? Have these people ever read the teachings of Jesus? I am proud that Dallas County has pledged to help. A few other cities have also, but most are refusing to allow them in their city limits or offer them any help. Shameful!
