He went on to say: I think we are a bigger hearted people than that as Americans. I agree with Governor Patrick. President Obama has asked for resources to care for these children. to place them. to give them the right of seeking asylum if they can make that established legal claim and. if not. to return them. humanely. to the countries they came from. Two of the three Ambassadors we met with. incidentally. said they could not guarantee the safety of those children in Honduras or El Salvador. if they came back. Lets do the right thing and pass this supplemental appropriation. Lets provide the resources so these children are treated humanely. ultimately given their hearing. ultimately returned. in most cases. to the country they came from. How will history judge us? How will we be judged if. when these refugee children came to our border. they were turned away and sent back to harm. violence or even death? We do not want that to happen. That is not who we are as Americans.
