Regrettably not all of those you try to help are worthy to be in this country, and do not live up to the laws of God. One of your 14 year old young men travelled to Washington State and mugged my 90 year old mother in the parking lot of Safeway in the daylight - it was gang initiated. They knocked her to the ground and stole her purse. ICE was not allowed to arrest him because he was illegal and underage. They found my mother's ID with his inebriated mother in another town where she had broken into a house. My mother was afraid to tell her story for fear of retribution from the Hispanic gangs in our small farming community. She passed way on Jan 24 at the age of 96, so I am telling her story. I am a second generation American - my grandparents immigrated legally to the US with "nothing" and built lives for themselves and their children by treating America as an opportunity to succeed, not as a right to take advantage of others. They followed the laws. Your "non profit" has a mission based on the laws of God. It is your responsibility to help protect the rest of us who also follow the laws of God. I will give nothing to your charity since apparently many of my tax dollars, for which I work very hard, are already finding their way into your coffers. (you have not filed a 990 since 2003 - no transparency leads one to doubt your integrity)
Annunciation House is a faith-based organization that provides relief and assistance to migrants stranded in the dysfunctions of the US-Mexico mid-border region, including Mexicans and Central Americans. A number of these people are women and children abandoned or left to fend for themselves when the male head of household crosses to find work somewhere in the US. A number of these people have been abused, severely injured, or otherwise traumatized by their journey to the north and/or their experiences in the border region itself. AH also provides in-depth orientation for interested outsiders to conditions faced by these people.
A number of years ago I brought a mixed Univ of NM class of graduates and undergraduates to spend a weekend under the auspices of AH. We stayed in a low-income neighborhood on the western edge of Cd. Juarez, visited with local people, toured in the area including a visit to the Mexican side of the border fence. Most importantly from the perspective of personal experience, we had to agree to spend no more on food that what would be earned by an average maquiladora factory worker...which led to some profound learning by our students.
The Annunciation House is supported by the work of volunteers from around the country, many of whom are young adults. Their spirit and energy are uplifting.
