My beloved father and grandmother were floating aimlessly in the ocean for 8 days straight with no food and water as boat refugees. They miraculously survived and made it to a Malaysian refugee camp where they were granted sponsorship for resettlement in the late 70s to the U.S.....a country that was built from immigrant pioneer settlers, migrant laborers (Britain transported 50,000-120,000 convicts to the 13 American colonies to reduce their own crowded prisons) and transported slaves from the Atlantic slave trade. I can't imagine my father and grandmother trying to escape a war-torn country only to be turned away with today's policies on paused/restricted resettlement and asylum processings. No human being should be turned away, deported or denaturalized. Today and everyday, CRYSTALS WILL ALWAYS BE HARDER THAN AND BREAK APART ICE. 💥🧊
