Come on camera, to let these children know they are not alone. The facility very close to the ride here. They are sure the protesters were making their voices heard to the children inside to the at least 70 children separated from their parents, girls and boys, age 13 to 17. I was speaking to Asylum Speakers as well. We reported earlier in the week from mexico, people desperately trying to cross over, a journey that can take up to three months.
