Remember when the latest Leftist panic was guns (again)? As I type this, the Left's panic-du-jour is "children separated from their parents" at the nation's borders. The Left is desperately pushing this panic with everything they have. This is
probably an effort to derail momentum for border security (because the Left doesn't actually believe in national borders but will gladly use them to their advantage anyway) and distract from devastating things like the IG Report and Hearings.
Plenty of people generally not the Left have hopped onto this bandwagon, and understandably so. We can all agree it is sad that kids are placed in the position of being detained in a different location than their parents. It looks awful and it sounds awful. But how did things get this way?
It's really awful when a surgeon has to cut into somebody, especially a
kid. It looks bad. It's going to cause a lot of pain. It would be great
if the surgeon never had to do that. But the surgeon is reacting to
events that were set in motion when someone assaulted someone else. Then
the victim was brought to the surgeon, who has to deal with the mess
with no perfect way forward that looks tidy and won't cause any pain.
What's really going on?
