The Trump Regime's Nazi tactics have created a national security crisis.

Thousands of parents risked everything to trek across 2000 miles in the hope of seeking asylum, so their children could be safe.

Now, thousands of parents have nothing left to lose.

We've made ourselves the enemy of the good and decent people in Latin American countries like Honduras. So why would they trust us to help them fight the violence of criminal gangs to make their countries safe again?

We are no different than the drug lords they are fleeing.

We already know from the annals of American history about the abuses of Black children in the slave state; about the abuses of Native American children warehoused in boarding schools; about the abuses of Japanese children in internment camps.

What horrors of abuses will emerge out of these concentration camps? What mental and emotional torture have these children already suffered? What scars will they carry the rest of their lives?

How righteously angry will these children be?

The history has already been written. We have already been stained by the Trump Regime's cruelty. Not just for this year or for Trump's presidency, but for generations to come. How wide that stain spreads and how deep it goes is up to us, so update your voter registration. We've got work to do!

Don't spread the word! Spread the action!
