and the associate director of the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Houston, said the nation is so polarized that voters already have picked sides. But with the election resting on who is going to get more people out to vote, the issue is one that can drive up numbers.But others will. The Rev. Luis Cortés, founder and CEO ofbased in Pennsylvania, said the separation of a child from the parents “is just morally wrong”.
The pain brought to millions by the pandemic has made it hard for the nation to deal with others' pain, Cortés, whose group holds the annual national Hispanic Prayer Breakfast, said. “Our country is beginning to explore what pro-life means. Once a baby is born, what is the responsibility of parents, and when parents can’t provide those responsibilities, what should we as a society do? It raises the question of underfunded school districts, the underfunded safety net, of willfully taking children out of mothers' arms and displacing them,” he said.
Garcia said the El Paso shelters now house few immigrants, but he operates three in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, across the border, for the many asylum-seekers and migrants whom the administration has barred from entering the U.S. “The question we must ask ourselves is that, is this who we want to be?,” he said. “This is a values election, there’s no way around it. You go vote, you are voting your values.”
