The crying kids game
Placeholder Image
I understand why the national media is so obsessed over the story of children of illegal immigrants being separated from their parents at the Mexican border.It’s a heartbreaking sight to see photos of innocent little kids traumatized and crying - even when they were taken in the Obama era. It’s also great TV.I also get why the Democrats can’t stop using the crying border kids as a political weapon.It’s the only issue they have left.The Pelosi Party can’t very well complain about the booming Trump economy, the low-low unemployment rates for blacks and Latinos or the threat of the president starting a war with North Korea.The Democrats are so desperate they’re still trying to blame President Trump and his mean immigration rules for making the border kids cry.But the American people know better. In every poll I’ve seen they place the blame squarely where it belongs - on the crying kids’ irresponsible parents.I really don’t mind that much that the dominant national media keep showing crying kids who are being temporarily separated from their parents.But I wish the news media - and the politicians of both parties -- would spend as much time covering the crying children of America who are taken away from their parents every day and put into our broken and harmful foster care system.Heartbreaking images of crying little Americans don’t show up on CBS, MSNBC or Facebook.
