I absolutely 1000% support the UN handling the humanitarian crisis on the Southern border.

Under this egregious and criminal administration, the situation on our Southern border has been handled both incompetently and inhumanely. It has reached the point where it is intolerable. Excesses have occurred of a nature that if they were committed by any other nation, we'd be among the first to both condemn them and seek intervention.

Isn't handling humanitarian crises like this one of the primary reasons why the UN was created in the first place? The camps along our Southern border need to be closed and ICE needs to be abolished. In addition, white supremacist vigilante groups need to be kept from the border where they can menace, injure or kill migrants. Sad to say, I don't believe our military can be trusted to handle these delicate tasks as long as the Orange Gargoyle is perched in the WH.

Just as we as individuals occasionally require outside help to keep us healthy, sane and balanced, so do entire nations. This is one if those times.
