Children at our southern border
Some Americans and their politicians do not like children from Central America now coming to the U.S. These children are fleeing drug gang violence in their home countries.
The drug gangs are fighting among themselves for control of the drug traffic users in the U.S. The unnatural, insatiable appetite of American drug users fuels the violence in Central America. Politicians and mass media seem to be ignoring the obvious reasons for the problem.
Outraged protesters want to stop the influx of these children, and now tried to block the buses that transport these children to centers where they can be processed.
These misguided and shallow-thinking protesters and Americans that think like them should focus their efforts on stopping American drug users. These drug users might be living right next door to you, or you might even know one in your own family.
As long as the Republicans and the Tea Party stand in the way of immigration legislation and voting rights, they will not get the minority vote in the next election and Hillary (Clinton) will be our next president. Si se puede! (Yes, it can be done!).
