A lady of age, one never asks exactly just how old one is, would tell us all of how she marched with King. While knowing she was older, she was certainly not that old. One day, in the face of our open skepticism, she brought in her family album. In black and white glory, there she stood, all of four years old, in what looks to be a white dress, she corrected me to say it was rose, just ready to go to church. Standing next to her was the man himself. So he would be leading the service, I would imagine. Martin Luther King jr., who image is as iconic as JFK or Marilyn Monroe. She might have been all of four, and only remembered the man because her mother would tell her over and over the story, but that photo, with the date printed on the back the way they used to do, was evident enough that she indeed marched with King. If I had such a picture even if I was only four months old, I too, would proudly proclaim, as did she, to have indeed walked with King. MLK was an old fashion preacher, not like the thieves of today who always want your money for some plan to save the multitudes involving them owning a personal jet for millions of dollars. So he knew the words in the Bible, Jesus said onto his disciples, “Suffer the little children on to me.” (Matthew 19:14)

I bring this story up, because it is kind of neat to tell, but also to ask where are the preachers of the Christian right wing today? Are they protesting, demand that children be protected from harm?

“The federal government lost track of 1,475 immigrant children last year, according to an April report from the Associated Press.”

Really?

“The shocking figure comes after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a new policy that all attempted border crossers would be prosecuted, and that the U.S. government would separate children from their parents during the prosecution.”

After all as Trump called them nothing but “Animals” who cares if they are not treated humanely. After all they are only the offspring of animals. Trump later corrected himself to say he was referring to MS-13. Really? Or is it all illegal’s are by definition MS-13?

But I ask again, where are the priests, the preachers, the pastors and the reverends? Where are they indeed? Why is it the only ones I can find are all left wing? Is it cause the right wing do not fear the hand of god but more likely to send their feeling hand for your wallet?

Jesus used the word “suffer” not to mean untold misery! He meant to bring them to me and *I* will take care of them. He was more interested in taking proper care of the children then in some twisted Oliver Twist fantasy land to make them work as slaves.

“However, the same report found that “over a period of four months in 2014, however, HHS placed a number of UACs [Unaccompanied Alien Children] in the hands of a ring of human traffickers who forced them to work on egg farms in and around Marion, Ohio, leading to a July 2015 federal criminal indictment. According to the indictment, the minor victims were forced to work at egg farms in Marion and other location for six or seven days a week, twelve hours per day.’” (Ibid)

Suffer indeed those little children. Suffer indeed.
