The outrage that has been “Trumpeted” by the left concerns the “outrageous” process of “ripping children from their mother’s arms” and putting them in separation facilities. My first thought is that whenever you hear super-heated rhetoric like “ripping children…” there is an alternative motive in play. That characterization is meant to knock you off kilter and put you at the mercy of the person making the charge….discussion over – either you agree with the left or you are a racist.! Typical and well beaten path for liberal attacks.
But let’s look a little deeper into this situation. For example, there are hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. who are “separated” from their parents. We do this each and every day – and not for criminal reasons. Classic example – a small child in a schoolroom talks about how his/her parents got high on drugs in their home. What is the first reaction of the teacher? A call to Children’s Services and the removal of the child from the home pending an “investigation”. And who advocates this process to “protect the children”? Why, the left of course.
Yet, there is a far greater untold story….one that is so distressing that you NEVER see it on the liberal outlets. That is the very fact that these children who are being hauled through the desert on their way to the U.S. border have an incredibly high prospect of being sexually abused and/or sold into sex trafficking rings. In fact, the policies of the left put far more children into the hands of these predators – meaning a far greater number of children being exploited by these monsters. Even the Washington Post reported that the policies of the Obama Administration swelled the number of those people trying to cross into the U.S. And, if you think that these illegal immigrants don’t know what lies ahead, google “illegal immigrants take birth control before journey”. The resultant search information will make your skin crawl. Do the liberals care that they are putting tens or hundreds of thousands of more children at risk? The question is never asked……
And there is another side to this situation. What happens after these illegals get across the border? An estimated three million live in Los Angeles County alone. The great majority of them live in conditions best described as “squalor”. Yet, where are the activists who got them across the border? They are far, far away as ten illegals live in a one bedroom, one bath apartment and go to work washing dishes in a restaurant for minimum wage or sew in a factory for $3/hour.
The reality of the situation is this: These activists don’t give a damn what happens to these people a mile south of the border and they don’t care what happens to them a couple of miles after they get across the border.
The right says this is a strategy by the left to use these illegals as a “farm team” to produce children and future Democratic voters. There is some truth to that thought process as we saw a leaked e-mail from Jennifer Palmieri calling the legalization of illegal immigrants “key to the future of our electoral success”. Don’t think that Democratic strategists have demographic tables estimating the number of children being born in the U.S. to these illegal immigrants who will be of voting age in eighteen years? THEY CERTAINLY DO!
My thought – anything that can be used to facilitate “White Guilt” falls right out of the playbook of the liberal, Alinsky left. In the future, if a liberal confronts you about illegal immigration policy, ask them why they don’t care about what happens to these kids in the desert……..and watch the reaction.
Silence.
