Thank You Gronda For Putting This All Together. What Is Happening Is Morally Reprehensible and I Don’t Care Who You Voted For…This Is Something That ALL Americans Should Agree Upon and Stand Up and Act!
The republican President Donald Trump and his hard-line administration personnel are showing their faces of evil as they order the separation of children from their Moms and Dads as they cross the US Mexican border to ask for asylum. The separation can last for months.
This past week of June 12th, the president’s press spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the US Attorney General Jeff Sessions dared to quote the bible to justify their evil actions as they lied to the American peoples.
There is NO LAW that requires the pulling away of children from their parents at the border. This is a policy that was pronounced by the US Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the 7th of May 2018, and this policy can be changed immediately.
This is important to note. It is legal for peoples crossing the US southern border to ask for asylum. The president’s representatives have said…

It really is. And then Sessions uses a passage from the Bible to justify it. The same passage coincidently that Adolf Hitler was fond of quoting.😡

Kim, this is a scary situation. OMG tiny tots getting separated from their parents. Gawd, is that needed? Isn’t the foster care already filled with enough children?
All these children would be psychologically scarred. Kim, they would be so scared.

You’re absolutely right Shalini. It’s abhorrent what is happening. And many of these families who are being torn apart aren’t even trying to get get into the country illegally.

Whenever I read about this happening in America, this quote always comes to mind.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Perhaps they should remove that from The Statue of Liberty? Then they could replace it with “Nobody from shitholes welcome”. Just a thought.
Best wishes, Pete.

Kim, this morning I caught a Youtube of Colbert talking about this report. A moment ago I read a review about a classic book about a boy in a concentration camp… and this report was the first thing I thought of. I can’t put into words how deplorable it is. When I try I nearly vomit. Great big hug to you.

I’ve been calling these modern day internment camps since I first heard about them Teagan. The long term harm they are doing to these innocent children is unimaginable.

It’s just unthinkable — that it was ever allowed in the first place, and worse that people who could do something are not… No wonder the entire country seems depressed. Except for the 1% who benefits from the tax cuts…

This is just horrible, Kim!😭 It breaks my heart into pieces. As a child that grew up in foster care and government facilities, this just makes me sick and disgusted. Using children as bargaining chips is horrendous! I agree completely no matter whom you voted for, this is wrong on every level! I also made sure to comment on Gronda’s post, as well. Thanks for sharing this with us even though this breaks my heart into pieces, it’s something the public should know.

The verse he sited is Romans 13 which tells us to “obey the laws of government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.” Just for context, here’s a few other people who have cited this passage: defenders of slavery, European church leaders trying to encourage submission to Hitler, and and the white apartheid government of South Africa.

No. No they’re not. This could cause long term psychological and emotional damage to the children, yet the administration could care less. It also made me sick watching Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defend Sessions at yesterday’s White House briefing. She’s a mother for God’s sake!

With regard to Sarah Huckabee, I guess for some it’s easier to remove their sensibilities from a situation… As a mother I can’t condone any action that literally rips children from their parents’ arms.

This is unbelievable Lashaan. And now they’re preparing tent cities and readying military bases to hold the overflow of children. The Trump Administration is using them like chess pieces to try to force the Democrats to acquiesce to their demands regarding border security. They don’t care about the long term consequences to the children’s physical and emotional well being. I swear, I don’t even feel like this is my country anymore.

This situation is too horrible to comprehend—no one in his or her right mind can possibly think this is acceptable.
I have been an independent voter for all of my voting life, usually leaning Republican but not always. I’ve been so ashamed of the GOP for the past year plus and it’s not just because of Trump. As far as I’m concerned, the majority of our Republican legislators are weakwilled, spineless enablers and I wish they would do what’s right instead of what they think is good for their careers. November can’t come soon enough and I really hope all those who complain loudly now will remember and make the “effort” to vote.
