We've had exchange student programs where a student from another country lives with a local family to learn not only academics but what life in American and Americans themselves are all about. We've had situations where children from war torn countries have come for a summer as a respite or have come for medical help they can't get in their own country. But always, the youngsters have returned home.
Now we're being inundated with children from and crime ridden countries who are told they'll not have to return. But it's a horrible picture, really. Not full of hope and dreams but survival. Survival of a journey conducted by criminals wrought with criminal activity including rape. I'd like to see documentation of the conditions endured during the journey from central America through Mexico where their entry is supposedly criminal from the get go.
Then we're told they'll be dispersed to live with relatives already here. Really? Why aren't they required to prove their identity and pick up their relatives in person? Could it be they are also in this country illegally? If at all. Remember we're talking about tens of thousands of children here!
It makes me think there may be some legitimacy to the idea our President is systematically trying to destroy our country. He's doing a pretty good job of it. No one holds us in esteem any more. Our economy is still shaky at best. He won't secure our defined borders. He pits segments of the population against one another. You read the headlines and they're filled with hate. Really. Hate.
There has long been a hue and cry about how we should not be the world's policemen. Those who feel that way have gotten their wish and look at the results. Now we're becoming the world's baby sitter. Sure it's starting in a regionalized manner, but that's easily changed. People from other countries can simply come through Central America. It's thought, if not verified, that it is already happening.
In a perverse way of thinking, if this continues we'll slowly slide into a true third world country. The president wants billions to fix a problem that is becoming a drain on the very economy that is to finance it.
We're not opening our doors to the best and the brightest. We're opening it to the defenseless, sick and uneducated and are expected to care for them.
The Statue of Liberty welcomes immigrants to our shores with this ~ “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” It was for people who dreamed of a better life willing to come legally, willing to work for that life. It wasn't meant for thugs to dump kids who know no better into a strange land and life without any survival skills what-so-ever.
What is the government thinking with their pussy footing around the issue? What possibly good end can come from the current situation? It's a travesty of monumental proportions!
