Need some help?

I have always had a problem with how Saul was treated/used. Esther, a Latina reporter in Chicago and a lot closer to this story than I, voices her opinion here.

“She refused to go, saying it was unfair for the government to separate her from her son Saul, who she said needed to be here to get treatment for “severe attention deficit disorder and severe separation anxiety.”

Saul, who on the Fourth of July 2006, after a long day of handing out pro-immigrant fliers in the hot sun, cried openly asking his “mami” why he hadnt played in sprinklers and watched fireworks like other kids.

Saul, who despite his supposed medical disorders, was trotted out in front of every TV camera and microphone that appeared at the church’s door, then flown all over North America with a handler du jour to plead his mom’s case.”
