Back when slavery was a fact in the United States, it had to be defended in print and in speeches by the rich white men who had invested in it. There was never anything good about slavery, of course. It was viciously inhumane. Defending slavery took a warped mentality, and the consequences remain to this day (look at how certain mentally warped Americans today find justifications for voter suppression).
Now some mentally warped federal bureaucrats are proposing to take the children away from undocumented families who cross our borders without papers. Breaking up normal families and removing children is a form of cruelty we haven't seen in our country since we freed the enslaved. It's absolutely indefensible cruelty, much as the Holocaust was absolutely indefensible cruelty. When we rounded up Japanese Americans in 1942, even then, we didn't separate the children from their parents and turn the children over to an inadequate foster care system. Should America really be considering a proposal this ugly?
