This Cannot Be My Country






No matter how many times I look at these photos I cannot wrap my head around the fact that these are not Myanmar or North Korea,  nor ISIS prisons. No, these "Detention Camps" are here in America. This is being done by the United States of America.

We are holding these migrant families - still separating children & infants from their Mothers and Fathers - in overcrowded, unhealthy cages . They are not given proper nutrition, water, medications, diapers, clean blankets and mattresses, showers, exercise or the basic necessities of hygiene. These children are not able to see a Doctor, nor being given schooling or counseling. But, they will be forever traumatized by this cruelty. 

If these were dogs we would already have a Court release them, wash and feed them, and give them better care then we are giving these poor frightened people who just risked their lives to escape to America. So where are the Courts? Is there no Judge in America that sees this injustice being done in our name.

 Don't tell me this is the best we can do, because it's far from it. This is a moral imperative, and a National disgrace that History will long remember.

Put little toe-haired white children in these cages and see how long it takes to process them and get them into the system. Norway, c'mon, send us your best people. Even if only "some of them are good people." 


Where is our humanity?  Where is the humanity in Donald Trump's Party? Not one of these cowards stands up and says, "let's investigate this." Not one Republican goes to the border to see the tragedies unfolding there, the suffering and the deaths.

If this were happening in Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Hungary or even Trump's ancestral Germany we would be screaming condemnation at them and demanding UN forces go in and save these women & children before it's too late. 

As in Russia, our elected Officers, Congressman and relief organizations are not being allowed to see what's going on. The situation has gotten so bad that the Guards are afraid a riot will break out any minute and they will be trampled to death .


What can we do to STOP THIS ?  There is no easy solutuion to a mass migration at our border like this, but surely these Concentration Camps are NOT the answer. Not even temporarily .
But, if we can spend millions on a military Show for our Dear Leader, then we can just as easily find funds immediately to set up cleaner, safer, healthy & humane housing for these people to wait in -- WITH THEIR CHILDREN and family members together. We can send Judges and Pro-Tems to the scene and start processing these people like the emergency it is;  or place them with their relatives  here in the USA until a hearing can be scheduled for them.

Kids in Cages should never have happened in America; and it must end now !
