I'm not a religious man, but from what I've seeing, all you *religious* folks out there who want to deport people. The #bible is full of quotes & very clear on this. That doesn't happen too often, you are to #WelcomeTheStranger
Feel free to pass along any opposing quotes, bet you can't find any.

Friends: #Refugees have been quite literally left out in the cold by the administration's cruel 1/24 order stopping any work on their behalf. These are people who were forced to leave their home country, then wait in another country while the US fully vetted them and processed their application, a process that could take two years or more.

Suddenly (in many cases, only days after their arrival) leaving families without food, shelter, language assistance, job counseling, or other support is an abomination and a betrayal of the highest order.

But you can help. Please consider a donation to the Refugee Program of the #Jewish Family & Children Service, or to the refugee #resettlement agency of your choice (such as #HIAS). Thank you!

Please boost this message so that others are given the opportunity to show our new neighbors that Americans can be welcoming and generous.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

IF YOU INTERACT WITH ICE:

1. Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out.

2. You have the right to refuse consent to a search.

3. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country.

4. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents.

5. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer.

6. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

Emigrants and refugees face daunting challenges following their entry into the United States. David Harberger invites Alamedans to volunteer with two local organizations that are seeking to bridge the gap—Welcome the Stranger and Shelter in Peace.

#AsylumSeekers have not "crossed the border illegally". International law recognizes the right to seek #asylum as (in theory) does US law. Yes, there is plenty of illegal activity on our border—but it's on the part of US officials who are callously refusing to honor the rights of the most desperate among us.
