They're Just Kids.

       Huh, America is still stealing children from their parents and sending them - Who knows where. But fear not, the Republicans have an answer. They're floating a proposal to allow the children to be jailed along side their parents. So now the idea is not to steal the kids, but to jail them. You're all heart people. This all comes from the idea that since the parents entered America illegally they must go to jail until they can prove they are not criminals and that they fear for their safety if they are returned to their home country.
       First off, can they really hold someone in prison until they prove they are not guilty? Is that the American way? What's next? Will we be found to be not sufficiently adoring of the dear President? Lock em up. I get it that we have to be sure of who we allow in. And that we go by first come first served, legally and illegal entry doesn't get you automatic citizenship.
       But is imprisoning these people for fleeing dangerous conditions back home the best answer we can come up with? And shouldn't these children be getting an education? Of course school's out for the summer. How is it that we can send our president on missions to alienate our friends and maybe making friends with our enemies. Enemies who have time and time again broken promises.
       Of course we're big and strong. We can throw children around while their parents are in jail. How about getting tough on Russia and China. If we're as big and tough as our President thinks we are, then lets get tough with our enemies, not admire them. And you Republicans are a long way from fair.
