Oh Mercy gives a face and a voice to these children, women, and men who have been compelled to leave their homes in North and Central America by forces beyond their control, but have yet to find hope in the promised land to the north to which they have traveled in search of safety and freedom. Oh Mercy reaffirms the fundamental dignity of these tens of thousands of homeless people whose future still remains uncertain and makes the case for humane US immigration policies that create a new beacon of hope for those tired and poor for whom the safety of a promised land is a dream yet unrealized.
