I also think that if they want to start a new life and family here they are freely able to. Another reason I believe that Border Angles is a very helpful organization is that they help reunite separated families. The organization also has me very passionate about it because I have some family members that live in Mexico I would love to see. I only see them about once a year because they live so far but if they were able to move a lot closer, I could be able to visit them more often. I'm sure there's many other people who have been separated from their parents and wish to see them again. ]]> 2018-11-30 20:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/141000994/th7jr3aagrn5/wish/309965983
