The Real Truth is Evident

As 400-people from Latin America sit at our border and try to decide if they will legally apply for asylum in the United States, our real views about Brown people come into sharp focus. For decades most Americans that express anger about illegal immigrants have qualified their views by insisting that they are not prejudiced or bigots and welcome those that follow the rules and enter the United States legally. They insisted it was never about bigotry or prejudice. Today, the truth is coming into sharp focus.

Four-hundred people came to our border with the intention of legally walking up to our inspection station to request asylum. This is exactly what our law requires. 

This legal way of entering the United States has revealed that our real concern was not about following the rules or obeying our laws.

Read the comments on blog and news sites. Read the news articles, watch the television reports and listen to talk-radio. Nobody is concerned about an illegal entry. The gloves are off, and the objection is Race and fear based. Nobody is saying “If they just followed our laws I would have no problem.”

My government’s response is to separate families that apply for asylum to discourage them from even making such an application. There is absolutely no justification for taking children from parents or separating other relatives.  While it is not illegal, it is not required by law. Apparently, my country needs a law to keep families together. 

My parents and the entire WWII generation would never believe that America would accept a government that forces families to separate. I am not talking about deportations that result in separations. I am talking about separating families that are legally on U.S. soil. I am talking about an America that uses the threat of separating mothers from children to intimidate people! My parents would have been as disgusted as I am.

Another truth also seems to be emerging. Our president and millions of other Americans have ranted about the Mexican drug cartels, the murderers, rapists, gangsters and the narco-control of the Mexican government and now they say that Mexico is perfectly safe and that people fleeing such violence elsewhere should seek sanctuary in sunny and safe Mexico. I guess Mexico is not such a bad place after all.

The one lie that persists is that we will one-day return to a White American where millions and millions of us will find good factory jobs and very few foreign products and an even better standard of living.
