OPINION:
When I tuned in to last Friday’s Washington press briefing, I thought White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had fallen into a shark tank during a feeding frenzy. Playboy reporter and CNN contributor Brian Karem followed the usual bias of CNN’s Jim Acosta and went ballistic over Ms. Sanders’ response about following the law when it comes to the separation of children from the adults who accompanied them at the border (illegal intruders).
According to our present laws, it is common to separate a child from a parent who has broken the law and put them into the custody of a responsible adult. The child is well taken care of until the situation is remedied. The advocates of open borders and Democratic-vote recruiters deem it cruel and inhumane to separate child from adults because they are poor foreigners and should be exempt from the due process of law. (But not a peep from them when a child is separated from a homegrown domestic felon.)
Just because somebody has lived in a shack in their country is no reason to allow them to break into my home without permission and avail themselves of the things I worked hard for to attain legally. Political correctness and double standards practiced by leftists will be the demise of the quality and values of America, the gem of the world.
