Drawings by immigrant children

Post by _Jersey Girl »

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/03/health/m ... index.html

As I look through these drawings, I believe I'm looking at drawings made by 5-8 year old children. I'd almost pinpoint them at 7 years old (possibly 8) on account of the grids (bars) drawn over the figures. The article doesn't say. It does detail conditions.

Please read. Please look.

These are childhood memories of detained children.

Look at those with your eyes and heart, folks. Let it sink in.

Then try to convince me that Trump has a conscience.

agreed, its worth reuniting those children with the human traffickers that are working with slim profit margins exploiting labor and sex north of the Rio Grande.

I was wondering what the conservative plan of action might be for these children. Would you haggle for a price on a case by case basis or auction them in lots?

No worries. Just ask him to produce the list of human traffickers associated with these children.

That should make him ramble on with another disjointed word salad, then he’ll disappear.

Thanks to Western Liberalism amirite?

About the funniest thing today.... a Trumper pretending to give a flying damn about children because of the boogeyman "human traffickers" as if that's why Trump's kidnapping children and making them drink out of toilets.

What caused this situation to begin. Does this situation exist worldwide? Should the US provide sanctuary to the world?

I doubt that subs cares about human trafficking past using the issue as the Trump Administration does, i.e., primarily as a partisan political tool where mention of it is used to give cover to other actions.

Here's the thing. Trump is an asshole. Anyone who supports him and his policies is an asshole.

We should send out circulars to the churches showing pictures of these kids with the caption, "If only those mothers had had an abortion, huh?"
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
