Dear North Americans, Neighbors <strong>to</strong> the<br />

south<br />

I am sorry! I hate that our government is<br />

using asylum seekers like political pawns.<br />

That we denigrate you with names I<br />

won't dignify here. Especially this close<br />

<strong>to</strong> Christmas, really, what the fuck is<br />

wrong with us? We will not stand for it,<br />

and we are using our election process <strong>to</strong><br />

s<strong>to</strong>p this madness. We all want security<br />

and progress, but never at the expense of<br />

others if at all possible. Diversity is how we<br />

invest in the future, by building hopes and<br />

dreams of a brighter future for all. Some<br />

will say there are bad people among you,<br />

but the truth is, bad people are everywhere.<br />

To think otherwise is foolish and will allow<br />

one <strong>to</strong> fall victim of a hate that will paint<br />

the rest of your life. Some even say our<br />

President represents money over people.<br />

But please trust that we will be cleaning<br />

house. Many that gave Trump all the rope<br />

he needed, hung all with it of us <strong>to</strong> be sure.<br />

His plan's are like a twelfth grader and he<br />

spoke it like a twelfth grader, Ironically the<br />

people that voted for him said he sounded<br />

like one of us? WTF. A "Joe six pack" kind<br />

of guy with no brains, just like his ardent<br />

followers. But in reality more like a low life<br />

wife beater in a wife beater shirt. He gets<br />

angry, he says this sucks and that sucks and<br />

you suck. And we call him the orange turd.<br />

But that's white entitlement taken <strong>to</strong> is<br />

destruction. We are not worried about<br />

anything. We are willing <strong>to</strong> take liberty <strong>to</strong><br />

the brink. A real place where real people<br />

will suffer.<br />

"I want a wall", he says and he does not<br />

care that it works, but a symbol <strong>to</strong> the<br />

world, that we are in fear. Really just optics<br />

like the outrageous cost of deploying our<br />

military and using them on people in<br />

another country. This madness bravado<br />

fueled the Vietnam war. That gained<br />

nothing compared <strong>to</strong> 50,000 of our<br />

brothers and sisters dead and still debating<br />

agent orange.<br />

So compelled <strong>to</strong> give their children a better<br />

future, that they came <strong>to</strong> the border <strong>to</strong> beg<br />

and got gassed. The President apparently<br />

does not value people of color that is the<br />

point. An estimated 3,000 people died after<br />

the devastating Hurricane Maria ravaged<br />

Puer<strong>to</strong> Rico last year. Large swaths of the<br />

island were without power for months. We<br />

all watched in horror as a mayor begged for<br />

help, then was accused of Trump bashing.<br />

You don't call a nation in Africa a shit hole<br />

nation if you have respect for human life.<br />

You don't walk away from Russia and Saudi<br />

assassinations of their political leaders,<br />

then say "Well, there is a lot of money <strong>to</strong> be<br />

had". There is a price <strong>to</strong> pay for that and<br />

our children will be made <strong>to</strong> pay.<br />

In fact it all sucks. So he is not only lying<br />

about all of the nations <strong>to</strong> the south. He is<br />

lying about being a President. He is lying <strong>to</strong><br />

us daily.<br />
