[quote=Anonymous]For anyone who sincerely wants to help, this link is comprehensive and succinct. It addresses nearly every immediate concern argued on this 25+ page thread, specifically, [i]what are you doing to help?[/i] There's something for all here without spending a dime or contributing many dimes.

[b]HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP MIGRANT CHILDREN[/b]

In link, learn the facts – What is our government doing?

Call your local government to see if they have set up a task force, especially in areas that have a large immigrant population. New York, for example, has several small non-profits that are directly helping these children. https://www.probono.net/ny/minors/

Call your government representatives. You can find your federal senators and representatives here  https://www.congress.gov/members

[b]Key messages include[/b]:

1. This is a humanitarian issue.

2. Protect children's rights. Do not eliminate any existing protections for immigrant children and families. Protections are not loopholes.

3. Give children the chance to tell their experiences, and evaluate their claims to see if they qualify as refugees.

4. Establish standards for the humane treatment of children (and families) in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody

5. This is a crisis of leadership, not a crisis of insufficient resources.

6. Prevent the government from re-directing any additional emergency funds to other enforcement purposes.
