Freedom Over Texas

Suffering or Survival?

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that I was taking the time to think about my previous thoughts, particularly about nations, the histories, and how we can see these histories at present day. Such as Pakistan, India or Bangladesh. We can also think of the current proposal to split California in three separate states. While I wonder why California has proposed this, I connect these thoughts with what is taking place at the U.S. / Mexico southern border with America, particularly at the Texas entry points. Texas is a very unique state. It is diverse, and probably the most diverse from all other states. It is closely connected to the U.S. southern border, where there are individuals entering the country. There is trade, exchanges, and also connections with culture, language, food, and climate. Today we hear of the separation of families,  that is happening because of President Trump's enforcing of the Zero Tolerance Immigration policy. The word separation made me think about divorce. Why not have a divorce from the current administration all together?

     We have heard of words such as TexExit, Freedom Over Texas, or Texas Independance, it is words like this that make me think about how a national strategy such as what we are seeing cannot work for this state, or any state. Consideration has to be taken at a state level. For example: There is a need for safe borders, but the policies of National Security or Law Enforcement should not be manipulated to treat every single person who enters the United States as a criminal. What is happening at the border, and how individuals are treated, is reflective of the training that Customs and Border Patrol services receives. They are trained, and are following the exact orders that they are given. The training and enforcement reveals the cruelty, and also shows heartlessness. Actions like these are no less than war crimes. Which is why it is about time that Texas takes control. Texas must take this issue into their own hands and deal with what is happening.

   Rather than treating innocent individuals as criminals, ask why they are escaping in the first place? This requires dialogue with neighbouring countries. The treatment of these individuals is nothing short of a war crime, barbaric, and we could even call those who are carrying out the orders as animals. Trump, his administration, and law enforcement, have put shame to the very values that America stands for. Again, we see a President who is only looking out for himself. Manipulating the law to hurt his opposition, only to seek gains for himself, Ivanka, and Jared.
