August 24, 2014 (La Mesa)--Parishioners and guests at the United Church of Christ in La Mesa lined up to purchase T-shirts proclaiming “Love has no borders,” after hearing an impassioned presentation on the plight of border children August 17th.
Wearing a “Save the Children” tie, pediatrician Dr. Richard Short introduced guest speaker Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels (www.borderangels.com) . The church congregation has committed to support Border Angels’ efforts to aid immigrant children and families fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. Over 60,000 have flocked to America seeking asylum here, including families and children placed in detention centers here in San Diego County.
“Everybody looks to the president or the mayor. But what can we do?” Morones asked. He emphasized that the Central American refugees are fleeing to numerous nations, not only the United States.
