We Just Listened to Him Talk: Sister Norma Pimentel Describes the Disappointment of Trumps Border Roundtable
....
NP (Norma Pimentel) : I thought it was a wonderful opportunity for him to come visit the respite center. I thought that would have been a very nice thing for him to do, so that he could get a clear vision as to what is happening here at the border for so many families. I hear a lot about how theyre all criminals, and I thought he needed to meet the families and the children. ....
NP: (Trump asked) every single person (all Border Patrol personnel?) at the table to say something, and I realized that when they were speaking, they were just reaffirming what it was he had talked about and congratulating him. I realized that the roundtable was about listening (to) and reaffirming his plan. He didnt really give local people an opportunity to say anything. ....
NP: ... When I hear about their (immigrants seeking asylum) lives and how tragic it isthe people who have been killed, the families and people that are tragically killed in their journey to come hereits sad that their lives are not (seen as) important, what they go through is not [seen as] important. A part of humanity, a part of life, is being overlooked and isnt seen as important. ....
NP: One person after another (several Border Patrol officials) just reaffirmed the presidents choice to have a wall and congratulated him for being the outstanding person that he was, for being so strong. One of the worst was saying that he has such a strong backbone, like no one else has. That was the message: well support you 100 percent and were so happy this is what you want. ....
NP: I felt tempted to stand up and introduce myself to the president, but I didnt get the courage to do that. I wanted him to know that here in this room are a lot of leaders from our community that had so much to tell him, and that it would be good if he heard what they had to say. ....
