The despicable MAGA war on children not looking for a private school voucher knows no bounds.
Full funding for public schools? But where are we going to get the money for the welfare for the wealthy private school voucher program.
Paying for free school meals. Then, the poor will expect assistance well into adulthood. MAGA programs to give tax cuts and government subsidies to our donors are much more worthwhile, and they are more deserving.
Helping children with disabilities. That goes against the MAGA/Musk/Trump views on long-termism and eugenics.
Why should it be any surprise that the White Nationalist American Duce and his band of kindred fascists have stopped a $200 million program designed to give the estimated 26,000 minor migrant children as young as babies legal counsel to help them stay in the country?
Especially when you have people in office like indicted troll farmer Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman espousing Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory as a way to make the uniformed scared of immigrants with their White Nationalist Lies and fecal matter and justify his proposals to put a $2500 bounty on suspected illegal migrants.
Reacting to this latest act of cruelty and injustice towards vulnerable children from the MAGA-White Nationalist-Fascist world, the Co-Chairs of the Arizona Latino Caucus at the State Legislature, Representative Mariana Sandoval and Senator Catherine Miranda, issued a joint statement denouncing the Musk/Trump/Vance Central Committee move.
Representative Sandoval wrote:
“The foundation of our nation’s justice system is due process, rights extend to all individuals whether they are citizens or non-citizens, that guarantee equal protection under the law. The decision by the Musk-Trump Administration to halt legal aid funding for unaccompanied migrant children is cruel, dangerous, and un-American. How is a frightened child—some as young as two years old—supposed to speak for themselves in court? They may not even be able to read or write yet. This is even worse than family separation; it will cause children to be lost in the system, facing deportation to where? Into the hands of who?
Denying basic rights to children won’t do anything to stop exploitation and human trafficking; it will facilitate it and makes it worse. And if a dictator can take away the fundamental American right of due process and equal protection under our law from one population, it can be taken away from anyone.”
Senator Miranda stated:
“It is extremely disheartening that the U.S. government is halting legal aid for more than 25,000 children who have entered the country alone. This program has longstanding bipartisan support from Congress because as a country we have an obligation to protect children from danger. Expecting children to navigate the U.S.’ harsh and complicated immigration system on their own does the exact opposite.”
“President Trump promised mass deportation while running for office, and he is upholding that promise by spending the last two months expediting the removal of immigrants at an alarming rate, and now he is targeting children. This decision shows us exactly what Trump’s immigration policy is – cruel and inhumane. I am disgusted by his actions and promise to keep advocating for our immigrant population.”
These are children, for God’s sake.
MAGA world claims they are beholden to Christian teachings.
They need to start acting like it.
