It’s 2023 now, we have millions of illegals Crime rampant. Border children, are lost so the Mexican Cartels have killed many. China and also Mexico are making millions shipping Fentanyl here. We are losing over 100,000 Americans a year. Including children. It looks like. colored candy, A country with no borders is not a country.plus Chinese coming via Canada. We won’t survive longer. Plus countries are sending criminals not families. We never had barbed wire here. Europe will cheer as we go down in flames.Pangie

The four Presidents before Trump all did the same thing, Bush even made it law you had to separate families. They ALL were wrong. Children are not pawns. You hurt a child you will answer to God!

The invasion of Norway in April 9, 1940 occupied Germany, Denmark and Norway ... they did the same - Separated children and parents .... was it right? ... No, as you say everyone was wrong - I thought we had learned ... we live in 2018 - Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion ... but I think it's madness ! - Many thanks for your visit and comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I agree with some of Trump's policies but not this one~just downright cruel for the children to be split up from their parents! A well written heartfelt write Anne-Lise; Good luck in the contest!~Che :)

Well written and brutally true, Anne-Lise. If children are being put into "detention camps", makes you wonder who will be next.//Warren :(

Hello Dear Anne-Lise!! What timing with your poem here. How true your words are and more so!! You touched a nerve with this one. By the way, I just posted, in the wee-hours of the morning here in Germany a Political Verse poem called, "The Little Children are Crying." I write about this same mindless tragedy and use my "Pied Piper"name for (Trump), and "Mr. Magoo" for his dithering Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, the one who cited the biblical quote used to justify slavery. Superb!! Best, Gary
