Before Trump there was a negative influx on the SOUTHERN BORDER with more migration into Mexico than entering America.
—We hadn’t quit the UN’s Human Rights Council
—The US gov’t hadn’t orphaned 1000’s of children
—and Felipe and Jakelin were alive.

Let’s just get rid of Trump.

Before Trump, asylum seekers crossing the SOUTHERN BORDER weren’t criminalized or denied their rightful hearings we provided pursuant to US & international laws.
—Most migrants granted asylum returned to their homeland when it was safe to return.
—Others sought citizenship.

Before Trump, presidents didn’t tour the country
degrading & dehumanizing migrants approaching the SOUTHERN BORDER as “invaders” or a caravan of “diseased,” “vermin,” and “terrorists” to excite their base and turn-out voters in #midterms.

Presidents were decent.
We were proud.

Past presidents held America up as “a shining city on the hill,” pursued our founding ideals and promoted human rights around the world.

America always had racism but presidents tried to strengthen our melting pot (not destroy it) to form a more perfect union.

SOUTHERN BORDER

They also leave a giant stain we can’t wash off. The longer he stays, the bigger the stain. On the bright side, I’ve got marshmallows. Bring on the fire.

Trump took an oath of office. Regardless of his capacity to commit to anything, he is obligated to follow our rules. Holding the gov’t hostage to get what HE WANTS sure looks like a conflict to me.
#ResignAlready Trump.
We aren’t paying for your wall!
