Girls, Obama, and Taken: Steve Silberman @stevesilbermarn Rosaries confiscated from immigrants at the Arizona/Mexico border. [via @MikeOLoughlin] newyorker.com/ culture/photo-, 恏 @clarĆ­ssalule Remember the piles of wedding rings taken from holocaust victims and how we see it now and wonder how we ever let the violation of human rights get so far well yeah cryptid-sighting: arithanas: gaylileofigaro: This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more. This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. Itā€™s a fear tactic, alright butā€” The first one in the left corner: Itā€™s a first communion rosary, and itā€™s not cheap. The black one in the first line: Thatā€™s a widow rosary and itā€™s old. The white one in the second line:Ā  is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I havenā€™t seen that since the 70ā€²s. In the third line, multicolor one: Itā€™s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministeryā€™s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80ā€²s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. Itā€™s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different.Ā  The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, thatā€™s a 50ā€²s rosary, probably a quinceaƱera one (or itā€™s maybe older, from the 40ā€²s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings). The fifth one on the fourth line: Itā€™s a quinceaƱera rosary with Ignatiusā€™s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young.The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesnā€™t look new.The fifth one on the fifth line: Thatā€™s a 90ā€²s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date.The fourth one on the last line: Thatā€™s a first communion rosary from the 30ā€²s. Itā€™s delicate and most probably silver. The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But thoseĀ  I described are much more. Those are motherā€™s rosaries. Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, thatā€™s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families.Itā€™s not a fear tactic. Call it like by its name.Itā€™s dehumanization. Just want to remind everyone that the DHS janitor who saved these rosaries and photographed them started his project in the latter years of the Bush administration and finished during the latter days of the Obama administration. Just in case anyone reading naively believes this atrocity began on November 8 2016
