Give the Children Access to Phones so They can Call Their Families

   Of all things you should want the children being held at the border to have, access to a phone would seem to be one of the most important. If they are to be reunited to their families, phone calls to reach them are essential. 

    

   Yet, a report out of Donna, Texas, today, suggested many of the children there are not aware phones are available. The congresswoman who visited the site, and found this out, left the center encouraging supervisors to post more signage telling the children they have access to phones.

    She should not have needed to encourage the facility supervisors. They should be anxiously endeavoring to get the children united with their families. How do you do that without calling the families? U.S. Customs and Border Protection should be corrected, by President Biden, the secretary of Health and Human Service, the head of CBP or whomever. 

 

   Someone should stand up for the children.
