Once a shining light

For all you Christians who voted for President Trump: What do you think Jesus would say about the thousands of young children who were taken from their mothers’ arms and whisked away to detention centers all over the U.S.A. with no apparent accounting?

Laura Ingraham said “it was like going to summer camp for them.” All you have to do is look at their crying faces as they sit in their cages to know this isn’t true.

I think Jesus would be leading a march on Washington to stop this insanity. Now the president is thinking of building detention camps on military bases similar to the Japanese detention camps of WWII where U.S. citizens were forced to stay while they lost their homes, businesses and personal property. That turned out well.

Republicans like Cathy McMorris Rodgers have been giving the president their support and said nothing when he enacted the immigrant child abuse program.

This November remember this atrocity and vote accordingly. We were once the shining light on the hill to many people of the world but now that light has been severely diminished.
