Donald Trump. Ya know, Phyllis Diller would probably repeat herself by saying of him, "his finest hour lasted a minute and a half." I'm not so sure it lasted that long. Look at the record; he has decided to eliminate the illegal immigrant situation by abducting the children of families crossing the border and placing them in cages.
If somebody took your children and sent you back, wouldn't you try again to gain entry in order to get your children back? But if we keep the children, what are we gonna do with them? I mean, that is legal to do. We can't make cheap laborers out of them. But we'll have to feed them and cloth and shelter them. Maybe we'll give them away. Or auction them off. That's not funny.
But my question is: Has anyone given any thought to the future of these children? Honestly, they will have futures, they'll grow up in spite of everything our government does to them, so what will we do with them? How can we possibly keep them from nightmares? What can we do for these small, utterly innocent children?
Our country has, apparently intentionally, done these children harm. How do we go about making a very bad situation better. How do we mend our image? The whole world is looking at us with disdain. How can we ever regain our position of respect in the world when we treat children this way?
I keep saying "we" instead of "our government" because "we" put our government in place. We elected them. The only solution is to begin to replace those who foster and excuse this outrage. Our first opportunity to do this comes this November. Make it a point to know how your elected officials stand. Make it a point to vote.
