Try This Experiment: Insert Your Immigrant Ancestors In The Child Separation Policy, And See How It Feels

President Donald Trump does not like immigrants, especially from Latin America. He would prefer that no more come here from there.

That’s really what is behind his child separation policy. It’s that simple.

He wants to make it so onerous and frightening for immigrants to seek asylum that no more will do so. He doesn’t care how bad the policy makes him and his administration look, if it’s an effective deterrent.

And, sad to say, a number of Americans agree with him. It’s a reason why they voted for him.

They want to keep the make up of America as it is, which is still far too diverse for them. But at the very least, they do not want any more people coming here that do not look like themselves.

But, I have one request, a fairly simple one.

Insert your ancestors into the child separation policy. Pretend that your grandparents, or great grandparents, came to the U.S. seeking asylum.

Pretend that your family members arrived in the 1930s from Germany. Or from Russia in the early 1900s. Or from Ireland in 1850.
