Why U.S. government have no MERCY towards immigrant children?

[JanSobieskiIII]

European settlers arrived at an almost completely empty continent and played by the same rules that every human civilization has ever played by. Those rules are, he who conquers rules.

I don’t see anyone asking the French to give Gaul back to the Romans.

No ones asking Mexicans to give Mexico back to the Aztecs.

No ones asking Russia to give their land back to the Mongolians.

Human history is one big game of one people coming in and displacing another.

Now @JanSobieskiIII that’s not very nice. I’m not sure I have seen a Catholic take that historical perspective before. Certainly comes off a little harsh.

These children aren’t immigrants, they are applicants for asylum.

If you apply for asylum in the United States, you have to meet the requirements for that status. If you don’t, you are excluded.

History is pretty harsh. Sugar coating it doesn’t make things any better and useless pontificating about how mean things were done 200 years ago is pointless. I don’t advocate continuing such practices but people like aing who like to whine while benefitting from all the advances that colonialism and other results from tragedy will never give up those comforts but will spout useless platitudes about things they don’t even understand to seem morally superior.

I don’t tolerate it.

Another adventure of Trump administration?

You won’t find the idea of mercy very popular here at CAF either, unfortunately. Mercy is something one is supposed to get from God, not give to others, I am afraid, despite the teaching of Jesus that the mercy we receive depends on the mercy we extend.
