Donald Trump’s morning Twitter attack lasered in on refugees seeking asylum for their children against horrendous gang and government violence. The people created a caravan that began in Central America, and the Donald has both verbal guns drawn to shoot them down at our nation’s southern border. The problem needs this solution instead.
POTUS tweeted his disgust over Mexico being unable to halt the 4,000 people fleeing on foot. Trump has no empathy, for these immigrants or anyone else, so his answers to the problem have been callous and cruel. He wanted to cut off foreign aid to their countries of origin:
‘Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy (sic). Must change laws!’
‘Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.’
‘Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.’
The real answer would be to increase the aid and education to Central America and reduce the violence. Then, the people would not feel the need to run for their lives, and they could find jobs at home. What the commander-in-chief does not understand is that he cannot create a situation bad enough to keep them from coming. They are fleeing death.
