    Unprecedented, intentional, malicious cruelty. Yes, I heard them “explain” that anyone who commits a crime gets arrested and thus separated from children. But it has never been done in the past this way. Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. As some parents who crossed the border and served their short misdemeanor sentences still have not had their children returned to them.

    More important, most of the parents who had their screaming infants ripped from their arms were not illegal. They were refugees applying for asylum. They did not sneak across the border. They presented themselves at checkpoints and requested asylum. Refugees seeking asylum have never before been separated from their children.

    Don’t forget to include that picture of Ivanka and her son to really rub it in.

    To this administration the children are merely props to be used when necessary. Necessary, as in ’it is necessary to take the attention off of the Russian or Stormy investigations.

    And the unspoken truth is that it is fear of losing their unearned (race-based) social status in a future meritocracy that causes the inhumane treatment of immigrants. The unemployed who refuse to learn new skills — (e.g.) coal miners — fear a future where they cannot prosper based on race alone. There is nothing that makes the isolated nations, — (.e.g.) Cuba, North Korea — places that the rest of the world admires or considers to be leaders. It is fear of a future where respect must be earned, that is turning the US into an oppressor government.

    Even CNN says you’re crackers. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/29/us/immigration-refugee-child-missing-hhs-obama-photo-trnd/index.html

    And you all forget that His Eminence had the same problem, with the same conditions that are now horrible. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-has-the-same-central-american-migrant-problem-as-obama/2018/04/05/c49c78c4-3830-11e8-8fd2-49fe3c675a89_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.44687bcec4a4

    Where was the outrage when Obama did it? No bias here.

    Who’s going to give back the young and beautiful lives (and others) that have been devastated and destroyed by the Trump administration? They journeyed to America, with stars in their eyes and wanting to help our nation…They went back home in tatters! Tearing children away from their parents is so evil, it’s the inciting incident in almost every movie we’ve ever cared about. Ivanka could fix this by putting on something tight and low-cut and telling her father to stop it. She could Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes.
