A NOSTOGLIIC RETHORIC FLAUNT THE BLAME GAME BY TRUMP

THE NATIVE ONES…CAGED CHILDREN

 

By: Editor C. Harrison/June 19, 2018

America she is called the sister to England and the cousins to Germany and France…never before in its history that America taken on a role to abuse children in such frontal fashion. When the waters in Flint became contaminated and it was realized that children had high levels of Led, in their blood stream,  swift action went into effect…  thought slow it is taken place to fix the pipes and clean the waters ways, America barked politicians step up and justice was handed down. So too the same must happen here, children and babies are just that what they are and can’t help them selves.

Donald Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy, though sounds like it has merit actually has none. The policy’s game is enforced and playing out but no substance is in the details. They went in with no game plan to exit. How long do they plan to keep this up.

Yesterday we heard children who were ripped out of their parents hands, taken away and locked up behind caged fences wailed; crying out on tapes for their Papa and their Mama’s. Trump continues to say they are protecting the borders and blaming Democrats for the law… he put into place; playing the blame game and don’t seem to understand that he, is causing irreparable harm to these children. 2,000 children has thus far been taken away from their parents with no foreseeable future date when they will be reunited.

What does this remind us of….the Japanese internment camps, where they were locked up or the Jews who Hitler locked up and later massacre millions, Guantanamo in Cuba. Trump would say this is different but is it?

We are dealing with the most fragile of our world community this is not fair handling its a sacra menial  outrage they are children, more to the point,  some of them are of ancestral  Native American Indians generations remove, so what is Homeland security saying to us.?  While you do have to do your jobs has Secretary of Homeland Security,  Kristjen Nielsen said, DHS has to also be reminded that children lives are at stake. We do not want them to fall into the wrong hands. This is America, we do not treat children like this especially babies, scared for life.

Trump’s Zero Tolerance Policy, as of now has to stand down, some other policy must go into effect now to save these children. Whether or not children stay in one place for a day or 70 days it’s too many days away from their parents. Even if law makers have to go over Trump’s head (meaning bring down Congress on his head…the full weight of  Congress) they have to fix it.

Be ware November is around the corner Congress and there is a little thing call election. The primaries are being held now. New York primary is June 26, 2018
