It's a ruse and was/is being exploited.
I'm 100% behind it!
"It's a ruse!" "I'm 100% behind it!" And thus the logic is revealed.
There may be justifications for this policy change. Perhaps 'illegal immigrants', aka invaders, are overwhelming state of the art pediatric centers, closing out American patient. Just like they're taking your job. Well, if you worked in a chicken processing plant you would have a point.
But there are only 1,000 families under the former protections.
One might just draw a line in the sand and say 'you may take no largess from the federal government. But does that hard line policy extend to sick children? Is it a principled place to take a stand?
I ask this; What sort of human soul looks over a government issued Desk and decide the way to assert policy is to aim squarely at the most disadvantaged. Sick and dying children.
Then imagine the sort of human soul who combs through records at pediatric centers in order to smoke out families living a crisis.
Imagine the sort of human soul that rationalizes her position to fall in line behind the authorities enforcing this purge.
Now, ask yourself if a person having such a soul should ever be regarded as moral citizen?
