WITNESS JOSHUA RUBIN-In little less than a week the scrum of candidates jostling 2 run as the Dem 2 oppose Trump (name I never thought I would say here) will B in Miami 4 a debate, a media event. Over 2 nights each will get about 6 minutes 2 impress who decides to tune in.
1/6

While these candidates scramble 4 attention about 30 miles 2 the south, at a place that would still B Everglades if flow of water north 2 south had not been re-engineered years ago, a few thousand migrant kids behind fences in tents & decrepit quarters will go unseen...2/6

... by the nation, by the world.
The prison camp, damn it, the Concentration Camp, for migrant children, less than an hour’s drive away from those candidates and the circus around their trip here, will be conducting its business.3/6

It is a business, a 4-profit business that makes its blood money from a system that tears apart families & takes young of those families & confines them at Homestead prison where they R kept inside in their overcrowded & filthy quarters, but for their hour in the sun each day 4/6

And for most of those candidates who bathe in the limelight, it is too much of a scheduling problem to share that light with kids shrouded in one of the darkest moments of our history. As camp after camp opens & children are trafficked by our government to fill the pockets...5/6

...of the likes of John Kelly, & satisfy those clamoring for cruel vengeance against those desperate people who dare to come away from their homes to find hope.

Thirty miles away from Miami, candidates. The children are waiting for your light.6/6
