Thank you all so very much for your comments.
Lynn, bless you for everything you do. It's so heart wrenching but it needs to be known, talked about, and deepest pains shared for those reading here to even begin to understand.
Everyone, please continue to share your thoughts, this is how we see many sides, hear many stories, and call upon ourselves to understanding different thoughts, ideas, or points of view as we learn through our differences as well as our similarities.
The hypocracy of the immigration "issue" is mindblowing and shows how truly self centered and egocentric this country has become. Unless you are African American or Native American, your bloodline came here as an immigrant fleeing criminal, economic, social, religious, or political obstacles in a foreign country. The reason we are here(and the reason that white is the majority) is because we are all immigrants. On top of that, the main reason we are a world power is because of immigrants. Without first generation immigrants such as Sergey Brin, Madeline Albright, Nikola Tesla, Werner Von Braun, Irving Berlin, Andrew Carnegie, Joseph Pulitzer, etc, we wouldn't be close to where we are today.
I like how Trump is trying to scare people by saying that there are terrorist with the caravan of immigrants. I just love how he makes up anything with no consequences
I'll be back when I have more time to read everyone and reply better, but I just quickly wanted to say this:
The current situation is not an "immigrant caravan." It is a refugee crisis.
People don't risk their lives walking hundreds of miles with only what they can carry—many of them with their children!—because they simply want to relocate. They don't leave their homeland, their families and friends, their entire lives and everything they've ever known, putting themselves through that kind of agony just to "steal" someone else's low-paying jobs. They do it because they have been forced to flee a war-zone.
They are in fear for their lives and their children's futures. They are running from a hotbed of collective trauma, and they have no better alternatives.
Period. The end.
Counterterrorism official contradicts Trump: No sign ISIS or 'Sunni terrorist groups' are in caravan.
While the President insinuates terrorists have infiltrated the group that CNN crews have observed to include mostly mothers and their children, a senior counterterrorism official has also refuted the President's claim.
"While we acknowledge there are vulnerabilities at both our northern and southern border, we do not see any evidence that ISIS or other Sunni terrorist groups are trying to infiltrate the southern US border," a senior counterterrorism official told CNN.
Sending love and light and safe passage to these poor people. Before I noticed Lynn's post, I meditated for a vision and what I got pretty much fit what Lynn wrote. They are traveling in large numbers because they feel it's the safest way to do so. I am very concerned about what the U.S. is going to do to them when they arrived. I fear for them and I pray for everyone involved.
This is so true, Jeanne and Lynn. My heart goes out to them, especially the mothers and children and my awareness of evil and shadows coming out sees negative possibilities of power and control unchecked by logic and compassion.
Praying that the Mexican President steps up with a compassionate care processing center if our American President (as shown by his previous major fail) is not capable of creating one.
Vestralux,
I honor your deep feelings and most compassionate intent of even your most quickly written posts. You are a true gift with inherently but hard-won/created archetypes. Your baring of wounds and sharing of your heart teaches all who are blessed to know you.
Your post brings up an important reminder for all of us. Whenever we touch up subjects involving our own most deeply held emotions and beliefs, we all need to use our "spidey" senses of awareness to note our own triggers.
I see possibilities and probabilities and want to allow all people their own process of comments through the process of growth as we all need teachers about ourselves as well as of our responses to others.
Learning compassion towards all sentient beings is often the place many of our shadows hide and America is a major site in this dimension for the process of growth and evolution and often through revolution. We fight on the outside what we all fight on the inside.
It is painful and challenging but we are given many chances for growth and change, in our bigger world as well as in our smaller location and sites ones.
Trust the process and allow each other to express our thoughts as well as our fears and premonitions. Sometimes things truly do seem black and white, especially before the biggest storms. But then the rainbows come out!
Call on the angels and the rainbows! Feel their beauty, tune into their frequency, and hear the beautiful music of the spheres.
What upsets me is that America has had a huge hand in creating the problems in Central and South America. We have meddled in their governments and economies forever. US companies have exploited these countries for years and years. We sell them guns and buy their drugs. They come to America and are exploited by the farms or companies that hire them. When they are caught in the country without documentation their families are torn apart while the people that hired them are rarely punished. MS13 formed in the US by youth who needed protection, a sense of belonging, and a way out of poverty and hopelessness. When we deported them, we also deported these gangs, and they continued to grow in numbers and violence as the hopeless situations in their countries increased. Now Trump is threatening to withdraw aid. It will make a horrible situation even worse. We are punishing people for a situation we continue to help cause. This is karma coming to our borders. It will continue until the root causes are fixed.
Agree about America’s huge hand. Of course, someone like Donald Trump wouldn’t even know about it because he is so ignorant.
For anyone who wants to know more about how our country created the very problems that cause refugees to need to pour into our country to escape poverty and violence, you might want to read the book Overthrow: Americas Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iran (2006) by NYTimes correspondent Stephen Kinzer. It is helpful in understanding the way the us overthrew and controlled governments around the world during the 20th century, to profit private corporations
Kinzer lays out what we did in Central America as well as Iran to prevent these countries from having healthy democracies. We did it in order to exploit their natural resources And enslave there are people. There are likely newer books that cover more recent history on this issue But this book is excellent And giving you a perspective upon what is going on today.
