      Let me be very clear on something. Several brand new polls prove this... Tens of millions of Americans have no problem w/ what's going on at our border. Polls show 46% of Republicans, 25% of Independents, & 15% of Democrats are just fine with parents being separated from kids.

      Previously, mainstream America made the mistake of thinking that racism and bigotry were fringe aspects of American culture. They aren't. And what we see now, with kids & parents being separated, and people put in literal cages... That's as old as the founding of this place.

          "Tale as old as time" is the perfect Disney lyric for describing the separation of brown children from their families. It's nothing new to us,but now yall get to see it on CNN

          America was founded on racism and bigotry, it is weaved in the fibers of the American flag.

          And, it’s not as though the writing wasn’t on the wall (pun intended). The man-child’s first words were all about racism and bigotry. It is who he is & that isn’t going to change. We cannot accept this in our world. Period.

          Are there actual polls to back up the assertion that most Americans are perfectly fine with the inhumane treatment of children?

          Thank you for hearkening all the way back to First Contact. This is absolutely linked to mass incarceration culture.

          This is what America has ALWAYS been, from the plantations to the reservations and the Japanese internment camps. We don't evolve, we revolve.

          I feel this has been who America has always been, just now with cell phones and social media the rest of the world and it’s own citizens get to finally see what goes on behind that curtain.

          Fear lies at the heart of hatred. People want things to be solid and without change, otherwise they are afraid. Recognizing that there is nothing to fear can take a lifetime, or happen in a moment. Show love and #resisthate

          Stop with cages and LIES! You keep promoting the cropped photo from 2014 under Obama’s watch! You’re not helping you make Obama look bad. Truth is the kids are fine! They being feed 3 meals, pools tables, games, air conditioning, education better than some US children! Who pays?
