We acknowledge that immigration is a complicated issue and our current system is far from perfect.  As an organization that values the worth and dignity of all people, we are deeply concerned by the separation of immigrant children from their parents. To date, more than 4,000 children have been impacted, including a large number being held at a facility in Homestead. United Way is a non-partisan, non-political organization, and in that spirit, we are asking our elected officials to work together on a compassionate and courageous solution that appropriately secures our borders, protects the sanctity of families and upholds the ideals and principles on which our nation was founded.
