In the picture above with the underfed dog living in its own filth is disgusting and people are arrested for cruelty to animals, as they should be arrested and prosecuted.
The picture below is of children in cages at our own border. There are no updated pictures of conditions today, because they are even worse. The reason is because they are blocked by our own government. The same government that has packed those cages with children who are living in filth, without proper bathrooms, soap, tooth brushes, clean clothes. There are children taking care of other children and they are not even properly fed. Is this the America we were raised in? Are these people at our border being treated as they are less than dogs? The answer is yes at this moment.
Why I ask You why aren't the people in our government being arrested for this kind of child abuse? Is it because those at the border are not considered real people?
Our country has a history of prejudice, not just today. Let me give a little bit of history here. My grandfather lived at a time when the immigrants were sequestered into neighborhoods of Irish, Italian and they did not leave their neighborhoods after dark. The penalties were severe for being in the wrong neighborhood after dark.
Just 6 months prior to World War Two, Nazis rallied in Madison Square Garden in New York city, and nothing was done about that.
When WW-2 started in the Pacific, the Americans of Japanese descent were put into detention camps behind barbed wire fences and their property taken from them. But when Hitler declared war with the US, no Germans here were deprived of property or put into camps of any kind. When German prisoners of war were taken later in the war, they were shipped to the US and put on farms here to help grow crops, not put into prison camps. They were the enemy, but why were they not put into camps?
I won't even go into what this country did to native Americans. That history has been before everyone; they were treated as less than human.
