One of the most recent shameful atrocities in American history is being performed right now in America. The trumps are separating migrant children from their parents who came to America seeking asylum as families or as individual children seeking safe harbor from poverty and/or gangs, https://www.npr.org/2018/12/13/676300525/almost-15-000-migrant-children-now-held-at-nearly-full-shelters. So the trump plan is to lock them up and keep them locked up for who knows? The trumps see this as a deterrent, the stick and not the carrot approach. Well I can guarantee to anyone that the stick approach is what these young people are fleeing so reinforcing the stick here in America will make no friends of these who had thought better of America. The trumps are in essence breeding a new generation of asylum seekers who now have an unfavorable opinion of America based upon how trump is treating them.
When we finally do get rid of trumps and their horrible treatment policies the damage will have been done and any distinguishing between the trumps and the near future America will be mostly impossible. I cannot reiterate just how much damage trumps are doing to the social fabric of our nation through his brutish treatment of our neighboring country Mexico and the immigrants coming from further south in Central America. A price will be exacted from us after this is all said and done and we are the ones who brought the cost on ourselves by allowing trump to continue in the office of our president. I am ashamed of our nation at the moment and will do all I can to first end the rein of trumps and then reestablish a brother/sisterhood with our neighbors on all borders.
America will forever be tarnished now as NOT the melting pot of the world, but of a haven for racists and misogynists. The republican party and the trumps have done this along with their not so covert allies the Russians. The last 2 years have been hell for the majority of Americans who voted against trump for president but given the manipulation of our elections wasn't enough to keep the democracy killing republicans and Russians from getting their way. I am not one much for the idea of Christmas myself but those migrant children are not me and surely they had looked forward to a better life here in America instead of being caged in a concentrated compound without their parents.
