Christmas Doesn't Come to Everyone

I am commenting on Gershwin's blog on the denying illegal children of donations for Christmas. I agree with him on that the children shouldn't be punished and not have a Christmas because they don't have the proper paper work. Christmas is a time for giving and to spread holiday cheer. Many kids now won't have any holiday cheer because of they immigration status. Christmas isn't based on background checks, it's about helping others who are in need of assistance. They wouldn't be asking if they didn't need help. It is impossible to do over 10,000 background checks and unneccessary. Now many children are going without a Christmas because they are illegal. There is a reason they are illegal and it probably has to do with the reason of being impoverished. Many people come to the United States to try and make a better life for themselves and their families. Many people cannot afford to just move here and start a life. People come here with the help of others and this is a situation where they need help again. Punishing children for the problem of being illegal should be put on the parents, not them. They don't know any better. Blue Santa, in my opinion now, is the best way to go for getting donations for Christmas. They are just willing to help no matter what situation. They are willing to donate to anyone and for that I respect this organization a lot more. They are helping kids not suffer and deal with the consequences of their parents.
