Friends, There is a tragedy going on in the U.S. right now. Thousands of refugees are being held in inhumane conditions with no end in sight. They are being used as pawns in Trump's rhetorical strategy and they are dying as a result. Unfortunately, things have just gotten worse. Now, border agents are saying they will not give their people the flu vaccine and it's going to be a health crisis. Sign the petition to tell agents they must administer the flu vaccine to the people they are holding. Medical experts are saying that detained children are 9 times more likely to die of the flu than the general public. But U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents don't care. Three children have already died of the flu while in custody since 2017. These people are forced into detention centers where they are kept in dirty, inhumane conditions and not given adequate health care. And let's not forget that many of the migrants being detained are actually refugees who fled violence and poverty and are applying for asylum — none of which is illegal. Those who aren't refugees but came anyway are committing just a misdemeanor; the same as someone charged with stealing a pack of gum. None of this is worth people dying. Sign the petition to stand up for migrants being unlawfully detained. No one else needs to die! Thank you,   Andrew M The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This is cruelty for cruelty's sake. Help make it end. Sign the petition.
