Birthright Citizenship

Birthright Citizenship

The Conservative Party of Canada passed a resolution to limit the rights of mothers to have children born on Canadian soil unless they are citizens or permanent residents of Canada. The delegates in Halifax voted in favor of a resolution to “enact legislation which will fully eliminate birthright citizenship in Canada unless one of the parents of the child born in Canada is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.” Never mind the absurdity of this. Simple put as a nation of immigrant all of our forebears would be included in that as none of them started out as citizens here. Never mind that inconsistency and let’s get right into the real problems.

1) So why is this even a problem? Because the white people of America feel that anyone not white is not worthy of being in their country. But they will seek some excuse to avoid being called racists. (Guess what. You are a racist.) When threatened with people of color, people react by turning conservative.  It is racist to try and slam the door on a nonexistent problem of those 699 babies.

“Statistics Canada figures from 2012, the most recent year for which numbers are available, there were only 699 babies born in Canada to foreign mothers out of more than 382,000 births across the country.”

0.1% of babies born in Canada…

Such a problem indeed.

Yes, but keep in mind Donald Trump was very clear there are good people on both sides  of these debates.

What does Quebec’s reasonable accommodation act; (applying to less than 50 Muslim women would have to remove their veil and show their face for government service) North Caroline’s Bathroom bill that would force transgender people to enter the bathroom of their biological birth;  and now the PC attack on 699 babies, all have in common?

They all discriminate against the weakest minorities possible. And all of them are based discrimination. They wish to eliminate some rights we have to then force others to obey rules that we do not have to. No matter how many flowers you try to plant on that shit pile. It still smells of manure.

Try to remember, by your words sir, so shall you be known. When you speak of racism and think you can self justify it to yourself, when called out, by calling 699 babies a crisis? Your opinions are racist. You, therefore, are a racist. There are no good people on either side of racism. You are not a racist or you are. Period the Conservative Reform Alliance Party has returned once more to its primitive roots of anti immigration and White Power Nationalism. This ugly side of the part was suppressed under Stephen Harper, who while being a ruthless control freak over his members would never want to be so blatantly racist. He would stop at merely being openly anti Muslim. Andrew Scheer being a much more weaker party leader, young and inexperienced in leading such a group has in recent weeks seen his control slipping with the defection of Maxime Bernier, such that, such a blatantly racist resolution attacking all but 700 babies would be debated, let alone become part of the party platform.

So stop trying to pretend. You have the stink of racism and it won’t wash off that easily.

So why are people so worried about Birth Tourism? Well part of the reason is there are lots of sites that offer birth tourism for rich people, which does account for some babies. However, who are the vast majority of people who are non permanent residents who are having babies? Those would be the co-eds, foreign nationals who have come here to study and internships, most of who are on the path to citizenship and would eventually stay as permanent residents are presently here without parental supervision and or chastity belts, who find out the rabbit has, indeed, died. They get to give birth here as well. Those children who were conceived on Canadian soil should also be allowed to be born on Canadian soil and forever be considered Canadian citizens.

2) Scroll back the focus on this debate. Why are we seeing such open racism in the first place? Why are people so afraid of the incoming minorities that they have to make this molehill into a towering mountain of pure racist dung? It is the browning of the America. 20% of Canadians were not born here. As foreign born increases to heights not seen since Confederation, we are seeing more and more immigrant coming and more babies from those immigrants. Just like the debate over allowing in Syrian refuges a few years ago, the older white population of European decent will soon be a minority in their own country. That scares them. Rather than embracing our new family, they fear them. This leads to racism.

This resolution is racist from start to finish. For shame upon you all!

Enemies of the State

Donald Trump has spent his Presidency attacking the new media. From calling them, “Fake News,” “Enemies of the people” and the “Opposition party.” The rhetoric may have resulted in the attack on a newspaper, the Maryland’s Capital Gazette, killing 5 journalist. However much we would like to blame this entirely on The Donald, we cannot. If there was a bond of trust between the people and the news, there would be no rupture and no divide.

Donald Trump says there are good people on both sides at a Nazi protest and counter protest. He called Mexicans, rapists and drug runners. He called immigrants MS 13, a large immigrant gang of organized crime. Yet this gang was created in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s. Never mind that “All Orange, All the Time” is wrong as he is so often is! The attacks on people of colour has resulted in too many videos of racists coming out of the woodwork to attack visible people of colour. The result is some very sick members of the public going viral in their actions on video.

Donald Trump had called law enforcement investigations to be “Witch Hunts.” To the point, where in a recent poll, 51% of Americans do not even know there have been some 450 charges laid in connection with the probe and 5 guilty pleas. But this is all partisan, deep state, out to get Trump?

Teddy Roosevelt called the White House; “The Bully Pulpit.” The Presidency having almost no real power except to declare war, is but a king without a throne. All the President can do is communicate with the people. Today using social media and his skills at self promotion, Donald Trump has shown the true power of the Presidency. He has change the national debate from one of rational evidence based debate, to mere insult and name calling. The Donald just happens to be better at it then anyone else. The results, as seen above are showing that his legacy may already be well established. Much to out everlasting pity.

Fake News: A history

Donald Trump has been calling news media’s as “The Enemy of the People,” and “Fake News.” Seemingly, the population should be disgusted by now, of his insults? Yet after two years, he still makes such comments and the people still support him, albeit a minority. So why? What is going on here?
News changed. They used to be reporters of facts. Walter Cronkite would end his broadcast with the phrase; “That’s the way it is.” And it was, the way it is, just the facts, no spin and no propaganda. When President Lyndon Johnson sat watching live TV coverage from inside the White House, one story reports that he seeing Cronkite be negative towards his administration turned to one of aides or secretaries and said; “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.” This was the power of this one man. He was honest and he was a journalist. Middle American was not his, he was Middle America personified as one man. Today what do we have?
When President Kennedy was shot, public opinion marked the decline in trust in the American government that has never recovered. Such that today, people would rather believe in some mysterious conspiracy figure called Q then any new media. Partially blame this on the failing education system that refused to teach skepticism and critical thinking to the next generation of students. (Note the blame is spread all over in this blog!)
New divisions where merged into entertainment divisions resulting in an emphasis on short, fast paced, peppy, exposes of the news and not investigations, explanation and description of events. Old school journalism died at the supper hour. They might have some other programs that would do that sort of “News” but from now on we had entertainment as a replacement for news.
Then came the budget cuts. The local reporting dropped. The networks centralized on the Coasts, Atlanta, Washington, New York, Chicago, (while not technically on a coast might as well be treated as such) and Los Angeles. Middle America and Middle Americans, so highly prized by Cronkite and Johnson were forgotten, ignored and treated as a bunch of small town hicks. “Who cares what they think, they stick of manure.” Thus began the great divide between the media elites of the coast and the middle of America where Trump’s followers live and breathe. Adding further insult to the injury, Sinclair is writing editorials to send to all their so-called “News” stations to read as if they were local opinion. When they are certainly nothing but corporate propaganda. You can fool some of the people, some of the time but not all of them all of the time. The people, who trusted the news makers and valued their opinions, having been outright lied to, can obviously see their local media as merely a pawn of the coasts and not representing the local people or the local opinions. Is it any wonder that Cable news viewers are almost exclusively elderly? Young people turn in to the news on the Internet, YouTube and bogs.
Lastly, come Fox News, a special case all on its own. The news division is slightly right wing, while trying to be legitimately a news organization. The programs in between are similarly called news but are deemed as entertainment so the new content is not fact checked or scrutinized anywhere near where it legitimately should be to be called news. Such as the many cases of sexual harassment and the payouts in the multi-million dollar range for sexual harassment. People like Bill O’Rielly and Roger Alies cost the company literally millions in payouts. Commentators like Laura Ingraham, while claiming she was not talking about race, might as have been goose stepping and “Sieg Heiling” across the stage, But then in a wink, wink, nudge, nudge moment, disingenuously proclaimed she is not a racist. Sean Hannity, straight out lies on air. He brings on his own attorney and does not seem to remember that he is a client. Lou Dobbs will call out Obama for mildly rebuking someone on the right interrupting his speech but supports Trump when he banned a journalist from reporting on an event when she is the pool reporter, because she dared to ask questions that the President did not like. As a female she is not allowed to be anything other than a pussy for the Donald to grab. But Lou Dobbs thinks this is perfectly fine. While Michael Flynn was pleading guilty, Fox and Friends felt it was more news worthy to show cute pandas. The list of outrages could go on. But why bother. News media’s do not care what the other guy says, they won’t police themselves. They won’t report on the facts. They just want the comfy jobs where they collect enormous amounts of money for doing almost no work. There are exception but they are the few and not the norm. New media has stopped being about the news, facts and reporting. It has become the shallow, empty place of void uninformed opinions paid for by the highest paying advertiser.
Not my quote but: Journalism 101, when one guy says it’s raining and the other guy says it’s sunny. Your job is not to say it could either raining or sunny. Your job is to look out the window and report on the facts as you can see from your window. Until you return to doing that, your credibility well never recovers. Your reputation will never be more then it is now. All too many people will assume you are indeed fake news and turn to conspiracy central like Alex Jones for their information. The Fourth Estate is dying buy (sic) its own financial success.

Pierre Karl Peladeau (PKP)

I received a sales call from a company that is owned by a man named Pierre Karl Peladeau (PKP). He may not mean anything to you unless you live in Quebec. However, his name means something to me. He was the rich son of a business genius. Sadly, he left that fortune in his son’s hands. It quickly dropped in value:

“At the beginning of his term as president in 1998, Quebecor’s activities were concentrated in the printing and the pulp and paper sectors (which accounted for $7.9 billion of the company’s $8.4 billion in annual revenue). In 2009, the picture was totally different. The company at that point was focusing on the telecommunications sector, which accounted for $2 billion of its $3.8 billion in revenue).

It takes real skill to lose over half the profits from your company’s business in only ten years.

He sold off 90% of the assets in the company only to retain ownership of his legacy stock. It has 10 times the vote per share as regular stock. Doing the math, in very simple terms, he controls 100 votes to 90 votes for the other shares. He has a minority ownership but with majority votes. So he gets to control the company all the while no longer owning most of it.

He was elected leader of the political opposition, only to quit soon after in order to fight his soon to be ex-wife over custody of his children. Sadly, I do not see any noble motive in this, just that he is a control freak who won’t let his wife have them. His wife would soon be in court fighting a private security company over one of their detectives to learn who the client was having her followed. I wonder who it would be.

As a politician, he was an ardent nationalist! He demanded respect for Quebec and the people of Quebec against any outsiders. Except… Where is his company incorporated in? Delaware. Let me assure you, for the geographically challenged, Quebec is not in Delaware. But this sort of hypocrisy was all too common with him.

As a politician he went to rock concert. When the band was singing their English hit, he was heard yelling “En Francais.” As if he expected the group to only sing in one language and not as their fans would want to hear as they advertised their show.

Once he left office, his ownership of news media amounted to his reporters digging deep into the background of his political opposition. Now, of course, if the scandals uncovered were the stuff of front page, no one would think twice about where they came from. But this is not to be. The so called scandals where of a gossipy affair and more aimed to embarrass people then real journalism.

I could go on but, I would like to draw two conclusions from this.

The first is that PKP is the Quebec version of Donald Trump. From being a liar, hypocrite and poor businessman, to having a political enemies list and acting upon it, all is straight into the same play book as The Donald. The second is for those who think the stink will wash off over time. PKP left politics in 2014. He is still and always will remain on my list of people that I will never do business with, never say nice things and never, ever, will I forget. If PKP was on fire and I had a glass of water? I would still drink the water. Four years later. The people who are on Donald Trump’s team think they will one day walk away from his stench and live out their lives away from his legacy? I have news for you that you will not like! No, you will not like it at all…

Show Trial

This past week, on Thursday Peter Strzok appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. It has been compared to another hearing on Benghazi. Benghazi? Really? Is that the best comparison you can do for this national disgrace? Oh yea who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. (George Santayana) So too here we go again. This was a Soviet style show trial, with an American twist. The guilt or innocence was pre determined. In fact, no one cares about guilt or innocence, all they cared about was to slam and destroy the reputation of the Strzok. The process was not about getting to the truth, the underlying facts of the matter or any furtherance of any legitimate investigation of the facts. It had one purpose but to smear the person with enough merde as they, the elected gentlemen of the GOP could get away with. (Since many of those same men are about to be indicted for collusion, it is no wonder they are trying their best to muddy the water. They are going to jail for crimes against America!) They cannot take Strzok out to a firing squad, (course knowing those men, it would be circular and he would be tied to a post ten feet away.) But they might just as well have a rope and tree as they publicly tried to lynch a good man and his good name. But it backfired. (Bigly) This is not “Back in the USSR”; this is America, the “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.” Strzok stood up his bullies and he fought back with integrity and honesty. What were they thinking? This is a police officer who has had to testify many times in court with defense lawyers who actually have master the facts, know what they are doing and are not trying to cover up their own crimes. Those lawyers play hard ball. The GOP House members are not real lawyers, they are not even authentic. No self serving criminal is ever able to stand to a good man with righteous anger. So the Majority members cringed and snarled and made up rules of procedures to try and squirm away from him as he stood up for himself! And all of this was covered live by Fox News. If they were trying to help their side, they should cover more such disasters. It is one thing to lie and tell the spin, it is another to try and lie while the people are watching it live before their very own eyes just what is going on; to see the man’s passion and his answers to ever question. How he stood up and put them in their place. The result is that the GOP looked corrupt and stupid. And best of all, they failed to tarnish him. He came off as a hardworking, honest man, trying to fight for the people and uphold their laws. When you see the chair acting so improperly that he demanded the witness not speak with the FBI lawyer? Everyone knows you have a right to consult with your lawyer during questions. So when Strzok invoked “investigation in progress” language, he was threatened with contempt? I think that the chair should be formally thanked with obstruction charges when he hands down such paperwork. Along with everything else he is going to be charged with.  America deserves better than this from their government. Stand up for change and vote out anyone who was part of Trump’s legacy.

Viral

Okay so Will Smith has not been in the news a lot lately and has he even done any acting of late? But he made the news today in my world when I saw a quote. Let me set the stage. This week I have seen so many viral videos of racists acting all superior on minorities. One lady, for daring to wear an American territorial flag in the USA, who knew Puerto Rico was not in America?  Timothy Trybus, allegedly is the drunken racist in the video says it is not. And the cop who stood by and watched him, and is now on desk duty, should be fired. (Or as I checked for the latest update, fearing his termination and protecting his pension, he has resigned instead. This way he can get another job in a different place and still claim to “serve and protect.”)Or the two white women acting as the neighborhood bigots welcomes a Hispanic family moving in across the street from them with a drunk attack on the nice people. They both got arrest. Then there was the grandmother who got all upset at being called a racist when she spotted a black child selling chocolate bars. As if that racist would have done the same for a white child. Then there were the two pool incidents, the first a white women claiming to be property manager attacked a black family for wearing socks in the pool. Okay weird behavior but you could still be polite about it and not a racist. Just saying that as friendly parting advice, she was fired from her job soon after the video went viral. It seems her company has a thing about having racists working for them. Or the other racist pool member on the board of regents, who demanded a women tell him her address even after she had a community card and going so far to call the police. The board fired him. Then to help him spend more time at Klan rallies, his company spotting his face, also fired him. It is bad public relations to employ someone that openly racist and that openly stupid on your pay roll. Now he can no longer afford to live in that nice area and might actually have to move to where those other people live… Gasp! Bye, enjoy the move. So on and on it went all week with the morning having some new video. Today’s video had a bit of a twist to it, in that some racist using the “N word” in Chicago on a small black woman. What he did not see was the biggest nightmare he could imagine in a very large African American who took exception to the racist rant and took off his glasses and proceeded to punch the asshole such that he fell to the floor and the when he again cursed the man he kicked him into the tracks of an oncoming “El” train. At that point the people pulled him out of certain death. See even those they would let him get the beat down he deserved, they figured he might learn from his racism and live to see the light of day once more. Now I do not condone violence of any sort. Because it leads to what also happened this week when a 92 year old Hispanic man, walking with the aid of walker accidentally touched a little girl on the sidewalk in front of her mother as he did his daily walk. The mother took a break and slammed it into his face. Then while he was left to rot on the ground a gang of youths came by and proceeded to viciously kick him more than a few times. He has now been released from hospital and is recovering at him. 92 years old. The attackers in this case were black. Racism is not only a white thing. It’s a thing and it has to stop.

This brings up my first comment by Will Smith. See I was getting despondent about the constant video assault, until I read his words. Now he may not be profane in much of what he says but this time? He hit a home run.

“Racism is not getting worse. It’s getting filmed.” -Will Smith

Amen Brother! It is getting filmed. Named and shamed and then we play the game. From holding a make shift Mariachi for New York racist lawyer Aaron Schlossberg, to having them fired, arrested or shamed in public. Racism is no longer tolerated. No longer accepted and will no longer be in the dark. Every cell phone has a video camera and you find a Wi-Fi spot nearly anywhere. Just film it and upload it and let the voice of the people name and shame ever last one of them.

OHIP’s New Plan

Ontario has announced changes to their existing drug plans. If you are a child and have private insurance, by way of your parents I would assume, you no longer get your drugs free under the provincial plan. Should you have no insurance then you remain covered by the government plan. There should be no difference at the local level in distrusting pills to sick kids. This is good, sort of. At least it should be! Right? It will save the government money as it goes forward and that is a good thing right? That should lower taxes and this is a good thing. Right? Well there are two tracks, the personal and the governmental to follow. First, the personal path; As the government is saving costs by dumping on insurance companies, they costs are forwarded to consumers who have to pay increased premiums to cover the additional costs now borne by government for what used to be a public cost is now a private cost. So what happens? Profits are a percentage of sales, so by increasing premiums, so increase the profits. Insurance companies unlike the government are there to make money. So costs go up for private plans. This knocks off the marginalized working poor whose premiums go up such that they cannot afford insurance any longer. So no more dentistry, no glasses, and nothing that private insurance would have covered. But children still have their pills. See what might have cost all of Ontario pennies each will cost the work poor real money off their pay. Money they will no longer afford to pay. Do we really want to have people asking such American questions as; “Do I buy us food or do I buy my kids glasses and dental care.” When you live on the margins, such a question is very real.

But this great for the government supply side right? Not so much, by reducing the amount of people covered, they increase their own bulk buying costs. The predictable cost is now unpredictable, when you cover all children; you get all the range of problems. But as people are covered by private insurance this is subject to change year over year in a non linear function. Furthermore as people are forced off insurance due to rising costs, the state will have to pay in other cost related expenses due to less medical care that was once covered by insurance for poor and marginalized people. Long terms costs can be seen in that people with less ability to buy glasses will read less, and learn less and be more likely to stop school earlier then they could have achieved.

The one thing this is good for, and it is not citizens of the province but the companies. Drug companies will charge more per pill. Insurance companies will earn more profits on high costs per policy. But at least the people will get a tax break right? No not really. The savings will not trickle down to them, and if it did, as they are only paying pennies for their share of such a program, they will get pennies back. All in all, this plan is a loser neo con agenda to strip people of entitlements that are paid for collectively.

Identity Politics

New York Times published an article about a Muslim girl living in America, within it she questions her sexuality, her religion, her life and her basic existence. This is seen as strangely inappropriate for her to wear a Hijab and be a hoe. Hoejabi is even a word now.
“Taken literally, the term “hoejabi” refers to women who see themselves at the crossroads of being “hoes” and “hijabis.” If you’re not a Muslim woman, don’t even think about using it”(1)
We have seen this sort of thing before: 50 years ago this would have been written by an Italian discussing the Madonna–whore complex. Same idea different day. Some years later, we would be hold a copy of the “Catcher in the Rye” and wondering what poor tragic Holden Caulfield would do next? Or perhaps it would be “A Separate Peace” by John Knowles, “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton. Before that even F. Scott Fitzgerald “The Great Gatsby” from way back to 1925. I even suspect that if I was in England in the 70 tys it would be “The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe”  as my talisman for teenage angst.  Or perhaps if i was older and pre second world war it would be George Orwell and his works “Down and out in Paris and London” or “Homage to Catalonia.”Just put on the vintage record album with “why must I be a teenager in love” released by Dion and the Belmonts in March 1959.  Or perhaps Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited”?I could go on but the point is the literature is rift with people questioning who they are in their teenage years. Today it is a Muslim female. And I say so? Welcome to the club, let us know if you ever get an answer back.The only man who knowingly questioned the world and got an answer was Job.

  • Job 38:1-7

    Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

    2 “Who is this that obscures my plans  with words without knowledge?

    3 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

    4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

    5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?

    6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone

    7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Let me know if anyone ever answers you!

Leon Texas

In Leon Texas, a group of people armed with cameras were arrested for posting the name of the Chief of police and his home address on their chat program. The police then promptly arrested those same men under a law in Texas, Texas Penal Code – PENAL § 36.06. Obstruction or Retaliation, where publishing such information is deemed illegal. Not sure it not also a government overreach into protected speech of the First amendment, but it still stand on the books, not having been tested as yet.

“First, the individuals arrested are not the publisher of the webpage—YouTube is. Second, even if they are the publisher, they didn’t put the address out there, and the statute provides that to show intent, the publisher would have to leave it up for over 48-hours or to repost it to another website.”(1)

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 has a solution for commercial purposes such that for copyright law purposes, they would treat online service providers as deemed innocent middle-men in any underlying conflicts, disputes or claims of infringement between someone with a legitimate copyright and any user who posted any infringing content for purposes other than “fair use.” I understand commercial law is not penal law, and Federal law is not State law, but the principle seems to be similar. In my mind, and I am not a Texas lawyer, it is like walking down a street, a police officer tosses a bag of drugs at my head, to protect myself I grab it and then promptly arrest me for drug possession. Did I have the drugs on me? Yes. Did I have true possession or intent? I don’t think so. The same with the auditors. Did they have the address on their chat? Yes. Did they have intent to publish it? Did they receive notice and 48 hours to take it down? And lastly, should notice be sent to the auditor themselves or to YouTube as the company that physically was hosting the chat? Not to mention that the whole thing seems to be on shaky constitutional grounds to begin with.
All I do know is that if I owned property in Leon Valley, I would be looking to sell because in the next few years they are going to be paying out a lot of money for those arrests. That bill is almost certainly going to be passed on to the people who are property owners.

Suffer the little children on to me

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.”

https://www.teenvogue.com/story/federal-government-lost-1475-immigrant-children

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.
