No rest for the wicked

I am recovering from some dental surgery and was told to rest and not allow my blood pressure to rise.

I am discovering that makes it very hard to use the computer, because every time I turn it on I see more stories about children locked away in concentration type camps and mothers, fathers and other relatives locked away when they offered these children a home outside of Trumps camps.

It appears the children have been used as a sort of bait to catch more people who are illegal aliens.

I wonder at the good Christians who advocate these measures. What happened to the good Samaritan and love thy neighbor? How can we lock people up and deport them because they are fleeing persecution, death and torture in their own countries?

Especially since some of them grew up here, work here as doctors, lawyers, gardeners, nannies, secretaries and at other worthy jobs that serve all of us. It's not like they are even taking away jobs from our people, because we don't have too many professionals and most of us wouldn't do the menial work we get them to do at slave wages.

I have nightmares that Trump has set the dogs on me. I almost feel their teeth before I jerk awake. I dream of running and hiding and being pursued by ice with batons and prods. I am profoundly ashamed and heartbroken to be part of a country advocating the very things we accused Hitler of.

This is not the United States I grew up so proudly in and although I do the best I can, I don't really know what to do to help these people.
