Here is how Christopher Columbus described the Arawak, tribal people living in the Bahamas when he landed there in 1492: “They…brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks’ bells. They willingly traded everything they owned…. They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance…. With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.”
Remember, it was the US that sent all the money and guns to Central America in the first place to fight the “drug war” that destabilized the legitimate governments and armed all these gangs in the first place. These kids are just refugees from our failed policies. Have a heart.
