Will Washington Repsond to this Humanitarian Crisis?

5. You are absolutely correct!

I'm one of the hosts of the African American group - you shoud post it back there.

How sad I have to type this but - I can multi task. I care about and want to bring to the US tens of thousands of refugees from the middle east and North Africa. I can also demand Booker, Menendez, and Lance push to remove foreign aid to DR and whisper about it to my friends as they make winter vacation plans.

Since my husband is being told by his government he cannot travel to Thailand - we had to cancel our Christmas trip. He suggested DR two weeks ago . . . I countered with this (there were follow up articles 8/20 I've been watching it) - we are going back to Costa Rica instead.

I'm sharing this because as a journalist - you need to know, as do your peers that we are reading - and we care.

I also have a dear friend back home in Rochester that made her way with her family from Haiti, to Sicily, to Brooklyn in the 1980's. Unfortunately not much has changed about the US since then . . . And we won't be rescuing these people. Their boat and plane to America is a long journey which takes several years.
