I agree. That's Darby's point, too. He's calling out the MSM for their sudden outrage given that this has been going on during the Obama years.

He points out that children aren't being separated at the border, they're being separated in Guatemala or Mexico when their parents send them unaccompanied to the United States. He describes what happens to children when they're processed and then moved to care facilities while the adults are arrested.

He goes on to discuss how children are being trafficked purposely to get gangs in, and then discusses the plight of young women who pay cartels to cross the border.

His argument is that we must stop the magnet that attracts people here, which Congress refuses to do but Trump is trying to do, or these abuses will continue.

That's the old marxist totalitarian democratic "Look! a puppy!" technique.

What's the difference between a photo of an illegal toddler at our southern border bawling because her diaper is wet, and images of identically aged toddlers in India, Bangladesh, Niger, Burundi, Liberia, Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, dying of hunger, disease, heat, cold, floods, hurricanes, wild animals, other predators and natural disasters...???

The fact that they are many thousands of miles away and out of sight and out of mind, and not on our Southern Border?

Isn't it also barbaric, inhumane cruel and unfeeling to not even to think about all the others? Is that not also the brainless, meaningless, banal "who we are?"?

No country on earth, today, or ever, has the ability to "save all the children of the world's hungry, cold, sick and dying in other foreign sovereign countries.

I have always assumed that all normal adult, intelligent educated and aware human beings are aware of the age-old Lifeboat dilemma/conundrum : we save those we value most or we all perish...

The rational choice is the one sanctioned by all but one of the real religions, as well as moral philosophers throughout history.
This, of course, excludes mentally healthy adults who choose to sacrifice themselves.
