In response to a column I read the other day
in a free monthly newspaper for senior citizens in our area
I take exception to the writer's charge that the alleged treatment
of the children of illegals detained at the border
by our government was monstrous.
Monstrous, indeed!
Baby detained at the border?
The recent photograph of a toddler crying for his mother,
while allegedly locked in a cage at the border
and which was posted on social media websites this
past June was both disturbing and heartbreaking
and invoked the wrath of many people
against the "zero tolerance" immigration policy
implemented by President Donald Trump.

Thousands of outraged viewers vented through "tweets"
after the this picture was posted by Jose Antonio Vargas
via Twitter with the accompanying caption:
"This is what happens when a government believes
people are "illegal" "Hashtag Kids In Cages".

The same picture of this child surfaced again on Facebook

Shocking. Sensational. Scandalous.
According to CNN.com, the picture,
which so incensed the social media world,
was not taken at a border detention center.
The child in the cage was actually part of a protest
against the Trump White House immigration policies,
which had taken place in front of City Hall
in Dallas, Texas on June 10, 2018.
Those who staged this protest
later admitted that the little boy started crying
when he spotted his mother standing in the crowd.

How ironic it is that while the Internet screamed
with condemnation at our president for
purportedly separating families at the border,
the people behind this protest had no problem
at all exploiting an innocent child
in order to stir up even more unreasonable hatred
and mistrust of President Donald Trump
across our nation and the world.

All President Trump did by instituting a "zero-tolerance' policy
was merely reactivate legislation regarding illegal aliens-
a law which has been disregarded for many years now-
which calls for those trying to gain illegal entry into

Although his political enemies and the news media

he does in the best interest of the American people,
there are far greater issues in this heated debate

In 2010, 58 year old Arizona rancher Rob Krentz,
a member of one of the state's oldest ranching families,
was found brutally murdered on his property.

His widow, Sue Krentz claims they were use to seeing

Sue Krentz has since become a vocal advocate
of President Trump's extended border wall.
On the day of his death, her husband had been checking out

his land when he was shot and killed by an unknown assailant.

Eight years have passed and his murder still remains unsolved.
Another rancher living near the Mexican border is Presnell Cage

the remains of dozens of people who died while trying to evade agents
of the US Border Patrol by cutting across his remote property.

He recalls a pregnant woman knocking on his daughter-in-law's door
begging for help. She had been left out in the wilderness
along the Texas-Mexico border by a smuggler.
Cage believes that immigration laws should be enforced
and that illegals are breaking the law when they come here,
but he is quick to add, "..the politicians can't be honest about it."

Although President Trump was pressured into
signing an executive order to reunite children and their parents,
this measure is not going to solve the ongoing crisis of drug-dealers
and human traffickers penetrating our southern border.
Neither will it stop Islamic jihadists from coming here
to commit mayhem and murder.

And, although media "fact-checkers" insist that terrorists

An immigration judge ordered him to be deported,
however, the 30 year old Muslim detainee was set free
due to the "catch and release" policy implemented by
the Obama Administration at the time.
He then vanished off the radar
until showing up in Edmonton, Canada
six years later, where in early October 2017
he was arrested after stabbing a police officer
and mowing down four pedestrians with a truck.
