The Racism Of Deportation 2021

Have you been watching the news? Have you seen the crisis/chaos at the southern US border? Where did all these Haitians come from? How did so many people escape the island nation? Why are they coming through Mexico? Since they're in the US, why send them back? I've seen the images and heard many stories. The lies. The confusion. The inhumane treatment. Sheltering under a highway? In 90-100+ degree weather? I've had all I can stand, I cant stand no more. I am fed up with the unfortunate policies of this country that the current administration is hiding behind. Our country has a history of welcoming refugees seeking political asylum from oppressive regimes. The fact that the Haitian President was assassinated this year is reason enough to consider asylum. But then all the natural disasters that have hit the island and the fledgling economy have run many residents to foreign soil. America has taken European refugees for centuries. Recently, we took many of our Afgan allies to military bases to process with a shred of dignity. But this? Chasing Haitians on horseback through the Rio Grande? Herding refugees like runaway slaves to return them to an uncertain fate. Disgusting. Triggering. Yet, historically tragic. The American People have been silent for too long. There's only one thing the policymakers understand and that's power. Money cant buy everything,  and some money is better than none at all. However,  these refugees have no organization, no backing, and no US interests to barter. We as a nation have sunk to a new low. Enforcing outdated policies to escape the law and due process is exactly the steps taken in Nazi Germany. Since the slave trade, trail of tears, and internment camps, Americans have become more aware of the racial divide that no one is trying to repair. The world is watching and they are not pleased. God is watching and His will shall come to pass.   How will this ugly episode be viewed by history? Probably as one of the darkest moments in the country.  Please let you light shine. Let your voices be heard. This is not what I voted for or envisioned happening. Definitely stand in your truth and live your power. You matter. Your thoughts matter. Too many lives are at stake to sit on the side and let this continue. As we all strive to live the best life, we must never forget our most vulnerable.  Let's finish this chapter and proceed to the rest of our collective lives. The purple life. Lers come together and fix this. Share your comments below. Thank you for reading this article and supporting this blogspace.  Stay safe, masked, and healthy. Take Care and God Bless !!!
