This sums it up. Sadly I can already hear the sickening, soulless MAGAts answers to this. “Their parents shouldn’t have brought them here illegally. They should have come into the country legally.” Utter ghouls. We often say the cruelty is the point and as long as they have someone they feel superior to, and people they can demonize and strip of all their humanity, then they support what’s happening. What truly miserable sad, meaningless lives they lead. Thank you for speaking in support of simple decency, speaking up for dignity and humanity, for seeing that we are all the same. It’s starting with “immigrants” but it won’t stop there.

You crushed me. I have7 kids of my own. For the last 17 years I have worked in schools and taken care of other people's kids. I love ALL of them. No matter where they come from. My kids, because everyone of them are my kids, come from around the world literally. This crushed me. I've seen those eyes before. We should be protecting them. THAT IS OUR JOB!

Your right keep talking about this don't stop.

What is happening is wrong and illegal and it needs to stop.

This fear is real and we are living under TYRANNY with a mentally ill TYRANT in the Office of Our Presidency. The republicans are all traders they are ignoring their Oath to our Constitution. They all need to be removed from office.

We are in the fight of Our Lives to save our Democracy Liberty and Justice for all and anyone who doesn't think this I'll never understand them because they are wrong.

My Father fought in WW11 against this.

I protested in the 60's against all that was wrong and injust.

We need to fight again and we can't lose.

NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE

PROTEST PROTEST

PROTEST

FOR THE LOVE OF DEMOCRACY LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

WE DIDN'T WANT THIS FIGHT BUT A FIGHT WE ARE IN

WE CAN'T LOSE!!!

I wish there was some way I could forward this to my Senators and representative and make them watch it.

Do you think any MAGA person will really see and hear this— truly hoping so!

Jess, my conclusion is that anyone of the MAGA persuasion never had a concept of humanity to lose. They don't care about the fear of a 14 yo Latina girl and never will. All they care about is causing as much pain to others as they can in the effort to drown their own sorrows. You know that MAGA are far more damaged than the reciprocal damage they can heap on others. I am not excusing them. I detest them because their entires lives are a lie that they force on strangers. They own squat, including "the libs."
