C’mon, Americans!
Where is that much expressed sense of social responsibility when it
really is needed? Children are flooding
our southern border and, for the most part, sponsors have not shown up to
ensure that these children will not become public charges. This concept, the sponsorship of immigrants
by individuals who would ensure that the public would have to maintain them,
used to be fundamental to immigration policy.
Ditto all of the above in the case of children (i)
dislocated because of the war in Syria or the ISIS control of Iraq, (ii) in
peril because of terrorists in Nigeria or Afghanistan who will not permit
education, or because of disease in West
Africa, or iii) suffering because of the war in Ukraine or in Gaza. Where are the sponsors for these children,
all of whom should be transported to the United States for refuge? Surely these
children deserve a shot at a better life.
Those millions whose hearts bleed for all of these children
should step up. Sponsor a child. Ensure that health care, food etc. for these
children will not have to be paid for from the public coffers.
Twenty or Thirty million more children in the U.S. easily
could be absorbed if those who advocate their admission only would step
up. Right?
