Trump is right. There is a crisis at the border, but it isn't what he says it is. He claims the crisis is a danger to our nation, but it for sure isn't. What the crisis is however is a clear humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.


The way these immigrants and especially the children are treated is inhumane and wrong and we must do something about it. The detention facilities where immigrant children are housed are worse than where we keep prisoners and suspected terrorists, yet he and his supporters claim he is making America great.


If we would start treating people with humanity again and become the Christian nation that we claim to be then we would be a great nation but the way we treat undocumented people as well as our homeless, mentally ill, addicted, poor, and disabled is nothing to be proud of or boast about.


Trump supporters say "Not my problem" when they try and defend the mistreatment of these groups but imagine if Jesus had said that to the people he healed, fed, clothed, and so on, that would have been the start of something inhumane that would have had a long-lasting negative impact on the human race and perhaps the end of humans all those years ago back in his time.


To lock children in cages and deny them basic dignity and necessities is not only wrong but it goes against the very values of our nation and what we were founded on. These children who are kept in such deplorable conditions are denied the most basic human needs as they have no access to basic things like toothbrushes, soap, and even adequate food and medical care.


This is not who we are America. How can the "president" and his defenders claim to be Christian and "pro life" if they treat people this way. They only claim to care about children when they are in the womb but once they are born they immediately stop being pro life and want to throw poor families off of their healthcare, food stamps, out of section 8 housing and so on.


They always say when we talk about helping undocumented immigrants that we need to take care of our own first yet they have never cared about America's homeless before, when it is to demonize immigrants then they say they care but they always have called homeless people horrible names and judged them.


They are not fooling anyone and neither is Trump.


Trump claims to put "America First" but he has offered zero solutions to fix our epidemic of homelessness, help Americans who suffer from drug addictions and mental illness, give low-income Americans healthcare or higher wages and so on. He for sure does care about his billion pals and corporations, just not the average American.


Now, he wants people to think he puts our country and people first ? No, he does not and never has.


The anti immigrant agenda is the same as his anti poor agenda. It is to rile up his base and make his supporters blame immigrants and other marginalized groups for their problems and failings in life.


I have news for his fans. Undocumented immigrants are not to blame for their problems and locking children in cages and separating them from their parents will not make their lives better or America safer. This is inhumane and we should all be ashamed for allowing this to take place in what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world, we should hang our heads in shame without a doubt.


Want to make America great? Take the billions he is spending on his wall (That we were told over and over again that MEXICO was PAYING for) and the tens of millions he spends of taxpayer money to take golf vacations as well as the money we waste on unjust wars and build small homes for every homeless veteran, homeless non veteran American , and the many undocumented immigrants.


Have a heart America. We are better than this!


We are better than Donald Trump!
