Americans need to read the book of authentic U.S.-Mexico history
During the 1700s, European immigrants infested what is now the United States. They came to America because they were too incompetent to make it in Europe or they would have stayed there.
They brought with them diseases that were unknown in this continent. Millions of natives died as a result. Later, Sam Houston and Davey Crockett along with hundreds of other thugs went to what is now Texas and stole it from Mexico killing indiscriminately.
After that, the United States “annexed” what is now the Southwestern United States. Europeans stole half of Mexico. They are the illegal immigrants.
America! Read a history book. Only then will you know who infested what country.
White House is leaving scars on these migrant children
to the
I am appalled and outraged by the treatment of families seeking asylum at the southern border. To separate children from their parents is a cruel crime against humanity and should be prosecuted as such.
As an immigrant who came here as a young child, I can only imagine what these families are going through. This administration is leaving scars on these children that will last a lifetime.
The administration placing the blame on Democrats is laughable. This policy is the product of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Senior Adviser Stephen Miller, Chief of Staff John Kelly and President Donald Trump.
To say otherwise is an outright lie.

I lived for 15 years in three countries in South America and Europe and worked for 20 years in a number of other countries outside of those areas. I made many visits to our embassies.
I found early on that the primary mission of the U.S. Embassy is commerce. The lines of affluent local residents seeking visas stretches around the building; wait times are long. A poor resident would have no chance of meeting the financial costs or really of even being welcomed in the line.
Although it may happen, I personally have never seen an embassy welcome the tired and the poor, the tempest tossed. For those people, a obtaining a visa is to dream the impossible dream.
