"We are overjoyed! This is why we came to America -- to be joined with our family. And, so, we will be going to stay with our daughter and her husband, in Duarte."
So said -- or so an immigrant could have said -- upon being released from a detention center in California. The Trump Administration has started releasing some from the holding centers, saying they are overcrowded, and they have no choice but to let some of them go.
No, the quote above is not an actual one. I don't know that the immigrants are even being interviewed, that we should learn how they feel about their releases. But, I imagine if many of them were interviewed, it would be a wonderful story, piquing America's interest and bringing sympathy for the immigrants.
Wish there were such a story.
