Okay, this will be brief, but my goodness. What has happened to the country I love so much. America used to be friendly, kind, happy, etc. Hell, American used to be GREAT. But now. NOW? Now we have border patrol agents locking up children who have come into the country with their families and have been separated by border patrol and ICE agents. Here's the thing. This is wrong, just plain wrong, and there's nothing more to be said about this.

The fact that our president and his Attorney General have decided that this is the best course of action to deter people from immigrating into the country, is appalling. This is not what our country stands for. The Statue of Liberty's poem talks about the "tired, poor, huddled masses" that the US will take in. Right now, that poem means nothing. The fact that the country is denying entry to anyone seeking asylum, whether legal or illegally, is the not America I know and love. Now, I feel that this issue is beyond parties, it is beyond political opinion, but yet people seem to agree with this stance.

There are people who have decided that this is the best course of action, and are praising our president and the border patrol agents for their work, and have wished the children stay separated from their parents. This sickens me. The fact that they see these children and migrants as less than us, less than American, less than human is the worst possible thing to happen to this country in a long time. So please, if this policy has not ended by the time this article goes out, please call your representative and senators. Demand this be stopped. How can we continue to let this happen. Thank you.
