I fail to see how any parent, regardless of party affiliation, could be okay with having their own children taken by force for the crime of trying to flee violence or poverty or some sort of awful existence. I said as much during the Syrian refugee crisis (many of whom are now dead): this isn't about whether or not a person filled in the right forms or speaks the right language or was born with the right address. It's about basic human decency and whether we as a nation can claim that we are an honorable, noble people.
Right now, we cannot. We ARE not. And that is the true shame.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
