Thanks to a lot of people who are working, day after day, to address
the humanitarian crisis on the US southern border caused by Mafioso Don
and those shamefully doing his bidding, the truth about the abysmal,
subhuman conditions both children and adult migrants are experiencing
has exploded, again, into public view over the last week. The pictures
that have come out in just the last couple of days of the severe
overcrowding in rooms and cages are infuriating, even more so when
Racist One tweets: “If Illegal Immigrants are unhappy with the
conditions in the quickly built or refitted detentions centers, just
tell them not to come. All problems solved!”
His game plan is clear: send a message to desperate, brown-skinned,
Spanish-speaking people that your living conditions will be even worse
if you dare to come north seeking a better life.
It’s not like all of this is completely new, but the lengths to which Trump is willing to take his vile racism is new.
How can those of us who support immigrant rights but whose personal
priorities are on other things, other issues, or just on making a living
and raising a family—how can we do more? How can we help to raise such a
massive cry that the anti-immigrant racists are forced to change their
policies?
One answer is what the group Never Again: Jews Against Ice
did several days ago at the immigrant detention center in Elizabeth,
NJ. 36 people were arrested as they blocked the entrance to the
facility.
