The separation of families is painful. As a Korean-American adoptee, I know that even when the separation is legal, this legality will not lessen this pain. It is worse for these children who are lost without people to help them. Do not forget who these children are — the children of families, the hope of a world, the seeds of a future not yet realized. Yet, perhaps most importantly, these children are human. Their humanity can be questioned and mocked to be locked inside of the safe of our collective conscience, but it will continue, it will resist, it will grow. May we not do these children wrong before they can even grow.
