There is a man in a wheelchair, he cannot walk. He met another man who is pushing him the entire way.
There is a sixteen year old boy who has never been to school due to gang violence in his town, he wants an education. He is traveling alone.
There is a woman who put her two children on a truck. The truck pulled away as she was trying to climb on. She lost her children. A woman along the way noticed the children traveling without their mother and took them into her care. She splits rations intended for her two children amongst all four.
This not a hustle. It’s desperation. And as horrific as it is, it must be better than the life they are leaving because…why else on earth would they do it?
That a president decides to meet this desperation with armed forces leaves me flabbergasted. A constant truth in this administration is that privilege begets entitlement begets contempt for those who are not privileged.
Do better.
What is more astonishing about this event and others like this that there isn’t a bigger outcry from the people of this country….true colors are being shown of what the majority of people…..sad state of afffairs…..
Thank God for the citizens of Mexico who are providing food, water and clothing for the caravan as the travel.
