You’ve been running for your life, clutching your cloth doll with one hand, with the other in your mother’s.
You’ve jumped into bushes, trenches, dodged bullets and search dogs. Finally, you are on a steamship heading for America.
I am watching a documentary entitled NOBODY WANTS US, about the agony of one of many Jewish girls escaping the Nazi holocaust and the Russian enslavement.
America! “Give me your tired, your poor”, held the ship at sea for weeks, then sent it to Mexico. The Mexicans turned the ship away; now what?
In Roanoke Virgina, a group of Jews had settled prior to the 1940’s, and offered to help. Jewish lawyers were filing law suits to force the American government to have the refugees come ashore. The President was Franklin D. Roosevelt. His wife Eleanor could not bear the suffering of the children and got involved, paving the way for the disembarkment.
It has been 75 years since. Are the circumstances being repeated, this time on the Southern Border of the United States?
Is America setting up, would be, concentration camps on the border?
For every 10,000 people arriving, 34 are allowed in (Center for Disaster Philosophy). Even though the majority of seekers are from Central America, the Trump administration “clamp down”, affects Cubans, Africans, Indians and Venezuelans.
Our American motto since 1956 is, “IN GOD WE TRUST”. At Matthew 9: 36, the commentator watching Jesus said, “when he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
COMPASSION!!! Where is the manifestation? It has been replaced by “me first!!”
Here are some comments on the film, “NOBODY WANTS US.”:
