Thread: casa de crianza

Del libro "En las sombras de Estados Unidos":
"Hablamos con gente que estaba viviendo en recámaras, en la calle, en bibliotecas públicas, en casas de crianza y en un estacionamiento de campo de golf."

¿Eso sería orfanato?

Y también:
Puede que haya una diferencia legal entre el que busca asilo para provocar persecución y el que podemos llamar un refugiado económical, pero yo sostengo que en la cara de un ser desesperado, la diferencia puede ser insignificante.

¿Evitar persecución" no tiene más sentido?

foster homes

only to suffer persecution

...and I am absolutely not believing I'm able to suggest anything to you, so I will quickly defer to any other suggestion. My ability to read Spanish is somewhat like trying to wade through molasses. I can do it. It isn't easy.

Eloquence? You should have heard me when I was asked to do an impromptu prayer in Spanish. I can't even do that in English. The Hispanic pastor once asked me to do a homily just once without reading it. I did. But I nearly had to have it memorized, and I used cue cards.

What I get is: Maybe there would be a legal difference between someone who seeks asylum only to face persecution and one we can call an economical refugee, but I hold that when in the face of someone in despair, the difference may be negligible.

I agree. It is only common decency to first offer support and concern to someone in despair.
