We now have all seen the videos of Border Patrol agents destroying water bottles left for immigrants (well, except for Faux “News” suckers where they don’t cover such things), and then the Border Patrol LIES and says that little SEVEN-year-old Jakelin Caal Maquin arrived in their custody already dehydrated (when she actually arrived in good health and had been given food and water while traveling).
The Border Patrol under Trump is complicit in crimes against humanity and violations of U.S. laws.
Jakelin was ethnic MAYAN. Her family speaks a native MAYAN dialect, not Spanish. Her family is part of the native ethnic population targeted by the movement of right-wing strongman José Efraín Ríos Montt, who was installed by Reagan over the objection of CIA warnings (Montt was later convicted of genocide).
The UNITED STATES does not have a moral right to deny asylum to those trying to escape violence and social chaos that WE CAUSED.
We did not interfere in Costa Rica, further south, and they are thriving. Costa Rica is what Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua woulda coulda shoulda been if Reagan (and earlier, Nixon, especially in Chile) had kept our big American nose out of support for dictators.
WE BROKE IT. We have no moral right to deny asylum to those fleeing that violence that WE CAUSED.
Do they not understand that if she were dehydrated, it was just as much their duty to get her hydrated? Of course they don’t. They’re beasts, like their boss.
Since the wall is so awfully expensive, as a cost-cutting measure, why don’t we simply arrange a line of M18 Claymore Mines – 3 to 4 deep along the border?
These are traditionally used as anti-infiltration devices against enemy infantry, and they shoot a pattern of metal balls out to about 100 m (110 yd) within a 60° arc in front of the device into the kill zone like a shotgun, without the need for anti-infiltration personnel. Think of the cost savings!
And now that we are done (in every possible way) in Syria, the Claymore purchase can help support one of America’s core industries: the manufacture of things that kill other people…
And if we order before Christmas, Amazon Prime will deliver without shipping charges.
To calm down those thinking this would be a bit drastic, all we’d have to do is change the embossed message:
FRONT TOWARD ENEMY
to:
DE FRENTE AL ENEMIGO
Then our heroic Kevlar-clad heavily-armed Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and ICE personnel won’t be terrified by a sudden rush of 7-year-old girls anymore!
And then we can all rest quite soundly, knowing our version of SS (Schutzstaffel) thugs are defending our great country from starving and frightened women and children yearning to breathe free…

And a Merry Xmas to all the kids in cages. If they’re lucky maybe someone will toss them a candy cane.

15,000 children will be in Republican concentration camps this Christmas.
Part of the Republican War on Christmas I guess.
