We Are in a National Crisis!
Let us be clear. We are in a national crisis. One that is as serious as we have ever experienced in this country. Our fate and how history will judge us, not just the country, but each one of us individually, hangs in the balance.
This "Zero Tolerance" immigration policy (read about it here) is of Trump and his band of miscreants. It is not a law passed by Congress or a previously unenforced tenet of existing immigration laws or a legal requirement being forced by Democrats. It is a new criminal policy of Trump's. He is using it as extortion leverage so Congress will pay for his "fucking wall" that Mexico has vowed to never pay for(he admits to this here). Trump, Sessions or any other supporter of this administration is no better than a kidnapper who holds a gun to a child's head and demands a ransom or else they will blow the brains of the child out of their head.
The far right and what used to be the Republican party, now what I call RepugnantKlans, like to make up stories about child sex rings run out of pizza parlors by the Clintons, Soros and Pelosi. Which, of course, is all bullshit. But this child abuse, sanctioned by the US government and carried out by the ICE brute squad is real. It is criminal. It is disgusting. It is inhuman.
Trump's policy is not just “un-American”, it is inhuman. The American government is now guilty of committing crimes against humanity on a mass scale and are no better than those who commit mass murder such as terrorists, crazed shooters or the Nazis.
If you are a supporter of Trump, you are complicit. You are as guilty, bereft of morals and soulless as he is. This is no longer a political issue. It is a human rights issue, it is a human decency issue, it is a human issue. Just as slavery, torture or murder are all abhorrent to human decency, so is this. History will judge those who acted in accordance with humanity and those who did not.
We all have to decide now: am I human or am I inhuman? The test of this question will be decided by who you support during this national crisis. There can be no defense, reason or justifiable purpose to separate innocent children from their loved ones, terrorizing them by caging them and keeping them against their will, simply because their parents were looking for a better life. It goes against EVERY religious creed, every concept of justice and every ideology that purports to value or defend Equality and Freedom.
As for myself, if you support this policy by supporting Trump, I no longer want to know you. Supporting Trump is no longer about having different political ideologies. It's about having differences in understanding what it is to be decent, moral and just. In short, for me it's about what it is to be human versus a rabid beast or animal.
The test is here and the choice is ours.
good keep it up and post like thjis which are informative
For many years America was the example of democracy and the soft power repay this country a lot.
The American company are all over the world and you guys was an example but after this election, you lose a lot.
The image of America that Trump it's promoting is really really bad and I hope something will change soon, because the world that saw you like example must focus their attention somewhere else and the alternatives are Russia/China and thinking that China is doing a better job is a really distorted reality.
Just know that not all Americans, in fact not even the majority of Americans, support the current president. I believe he was elected by criminal activity that tickled the bigotry that still exists here. This will either be the last stand of the slaver mentality that has plagued this country since the beginning, or it will destroy us utterly.
Either way, I apologize to the world for what has happened here.

Let me be clear: Mexico is in a national crisis. Get a clue. They don't belong here and Americans aren't responsible to take care of them. They should not be held in detention, but sent right back over the border after their names and photos have been taken. I repeat: they do not belong here. We can barely take care of ourselves.
