These seperations have been going on since April. It now seems like it is getting the attention

it deserves, and just maybe now something will be done, if not for the sake or humanity, then for political considerations

as the result of one News Guy decided to check out a hunch. Our useless Media did not want to rile King Donnie.

Number one is,The NYTimes is the Paper of Record and yes someone posted that story.

Number two is,only those in the Eastern US read the Paper on a daily basis.

Like most,I rely on the great DU ers for re-posting a unlocked version of important stories. Do really relish that information because of the fact,west of the Mississippi,we suffer a truth loss.

This group of fascists in charge want to send a message to future immigrants, that if you come to the US seeking freedom and help, horrible things will happen to you and your children.

for the sake of humanity. All the deploring in our homes means nothing without the good people we put on the lines to make big political considerations: How do I do what is right in a way that will allow me to also be here tomorrow when needed?

Then there are the others. Never to mistake the two.
