Are we living, not in the real world, but in a heavy-handed political cartoon? Because it’s looking that way. Melania Trump went to visit one of the children internment facilities that her husband’s administration has been using to hold immigrant parents separately from their parents. But some people feel that she really didn’t care. They think that because she wore a jacket stating, in massive letters, that she really didn’t care. (Here’s a clearer look at the jacket’s words — it’s not an uncommon sight on Instagram models) This is … positively surreal. See, while an Instagram model might show off a sassy jacket for whatever reason, the context of the First Lady’s visit is not. She was visiting an internment camp that holds children that her husband’s policy has separated from their parents as they are all detained. While some of the detained unlawfully crossed the border (a federal misdemeanor, not unlike using the American flag in advertising) and others arrived to seek asylum, which is legal, the humanitarian issue was that children were being kept in cages. Yes, cages. While ICE contacted news outlets to inform them that they objected to the characterization of the fenced-in enclosures that held innocent children as “cages,” even ICE admitted that it was not inaccurate. While within the facility, Melania asked “How can I help to reunite these children with their families as quickly as possible?” Only her husband, or Congress, can make that happen right now.
