They Are Still At It!
Today, demonstrations took place across America protesting the Trump Administration policy of separating children from adult family members who have crossed our border illegally. Good for them! Making a stand! Exercising their First Amendment’s rights to free speech and to petition the government in one fell swoop! Americans taking action to “change the system”. Something we can laud! Something we can ALL be proud of! The only trouble is….
…the policy’s already BEEN rescinded! Executive Order #13841 eliminating the separation policy HAS ALREADY BEEN SIGNED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP! In fact, it was signed on June 20th, ten days ago!
It must have been VERY traumatic for these protestors when the rescinding order was signed! Whatever could they do??? Not wanting to miss a wonderful opportunity to express frustration and outrage and indignation and righteous anger, what COULD they do??? Well, clever people that they are, they said, “you know what”? “We’ll IGNORE the fact that the policy has been rescinded! We’ll protest ANYWAY!” And, away they went! God bless America!
On the way to the marches, did they call their representatives and insist that bipartisan legislation be passed that will solve the problem?? Apparently NOT! Instead of working toward a constructive solution, better to march across the streets of America expressing anger and outrage at a policy that no longer exists! Power to the people! God bless America! Amen!
