I wonder if there are any kids or even adults in Pomona who needs shoes too. If so, why not have a policy of “Charity begins at home, i.e. the USA”.

Nothing against helping illegal immigrant, abandoned, or abused children having some decent clothes but if many of them have parents/relatives in the US with which they were later united, it seems to me that their parents/relatives are the first ones responsible for clothing, feeding and housing them.

Otherwise, this is child abandonment and abuse.

These ‘immigrant’ welfare groups are breaking Federal law regarding aiding and abetting ilegal aliens.

Odd, isn’t it, that they are free to roam the streets and cull Democrat voters, when Republican voters are rounded up and held in solitary without trial or attorney in DC jails.

Good job! That covers about 10% of the kids currently in cages, provided that they fit!
