"The Salvation Army has done more for my family than the U.S. government,"
Sounds like a sad comentary on the state of the world... until you find out the "family" he's talking about is his 29-year-old developmentally disabled brother who was illegally deported to Mexico on May 11. (read more here) Then it becomes downright scary, and more than a little infuriating.
I know too many young adults who fit Pedro Guzman's description: can't read or write, don't know their own phone number, and yet look entirely "normal." They attend my program because they can't be left usupervised safely. Yet our government saw fit to leave him in Tiujana, where he knows no one, alone, with no money?
I, for one, am scared, furious, and hoping fervently that this story has a happy ending. That's not likely, until the government gets off its butt and does something (according to the experts.) This kid is going to die because Homeland Security isn't a big enough kid to say "I made a mistake, I'm sorry."
