ABOUT THAT SEPARATION OF CHILDREN FROM THEIR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PARENTS

TV newscasts are showing misleading pictures which imply that toddlers are about to be taken from their parents

In a recent post, Bob Walsh made it crystal clear that he did not give a shit about the separation of children from their illegal immigrant parents. A lot of people agree with Bob, but the overwhelming majority of Americans are repulsed by what they see as a cruel, immoral and un-American policy.

Unless the separation policy is reversed pronto, it could spell disaster for the Republicans in this November’s mid-term elections.

The Trump-hating media is having a field day with this issue. TV newscasts are showing misleading pictures which imply that toddlers are about to be taken from their parents. The media knows full well that no toddlers will be separated from their parents, but the pictures serve to give Trump another black eye.

It is teenagers that are being separated from their illegal immigrant parents, not little children who need the nurturing of their mothers.

In my opinion, the separation policy is stupid and entirely unnecessary. The parents, for the most part, are not burglars, robbers, rapists or murderers, their only crime is having entered the U.S. illegally. The detention centers should have been set up like the detention centers that held Japanese-American families after Pearl Harbor.

It looks to me like the separation policy is really designed to discourage illegal immigration. That will not work. People south of the border are willing to take their chances for a better life in America. The Trump administration would be wise to put a stop to this separation nonsense.
