IMMIGRATION: History will judge us
History will judge us as a people and a nation. How did we get here? How did we go from a nation once defined by the words, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” to a country that hunts down those exact people and locks them in detention centers?
Too many of us turn our eyes away, dismissing everything we don’t want to see or hear as “fake news.” I recently watched a CBS Sunday Morning report on the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, where conditions are deplorable. Some will try to write that reporting off as partisan bias, but even by this administration’s own data, 97% of those detained have committed no crime other than trying to build a safer, better life for their families.
