There have been reports in the news about Hamas using children as shields in the Gaza-Israel war and then displaying their bodies to gain sympathy.

Using children that way is a crime.

Similarly, to court the Hispanic vote the Democratic Party has invited impoverished children to leave their homes and to swarm over our southern border.

That’s also is a crime, because it can terrify and endanger the children.

Although politicians strive to fan hatred of the opposition while lusting for power, higher standards of human decency toward children should be hoped for in our country.
