I am so angry right now. My wife is an attorney, and she represents unaccompanied children in their asylum claims. The kids are texting her, terrified because ICE was in their school today. Children, who have been through all sorts of unspeakable hell just to get here, and now my government is terrorizing them. My religion teaches me that God forgives all of us, but I do wonder if there should be an exception for these people who are terrorizing children. All this so that many of my fellow white people can feel powerful over people who have no power.
What do I tell her? More importantly, what does she tell these children? How do we ever overcome our shame as a nation for allowing this? There is always evil in the world, and right now that evil is upon us.
I am in this for as long as necessary. I know this is a long fight. But, I won’t stand back and let this evil win out. I hope you all feel the same.
I too agree it is evil. But I think there is no hope until we help those who disagree understand economics 101 on a junior high level (and there is no sneering intended, as an undergraduate I passed civics with an A by taking children’s books out of the library).
Couldn't agree more - there should be a "special place" for people that are base enough to terrorize children in pursuit of their fascist ideology and, on top of that, have the gall to call themselves "Christian". Thank God for people like your wife! Evil has truly been unleashed.
