This was one of the most amazing things I've seen from NPR. So much to think about. I typed out a couple of things but honestly just read the stories.

EDIT: here --

    For now the party was bound for a Border Patrol station, though it was held up while agents awaited the arrival of a child’s car seat. That seat represented the ironies we found along the whole length of the border: how a child could make a perilous journey, possibly thousands of miles, finally to be held up for want of safety equipment. How the Border Patrol would carefully watch the safety of children before sending them back to some desperate situation.

Impossible situation. All we can do is what we do, I think. Some may disagree with me.
