Griselda: Mother and Feet

griselda: They were hungry, after being given what they say were frozen sandwiches and smelly food, according to CTV. Younger children cried in caged areas where they were crammed in with teens, and they clamoured for their parents. It was hard to sleep with lights shining all night and guards kicking their feet, they say. Toilets were filthy, and running water was scarce, they say. I didn't know where my mother was, said Griselda, 16, of Guatemala, who entered the U.S. with her mother in the McAllen, Texas, area. They waited, unsure and frightened of what the future might bring. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
