The left was very quick to jump onto the “kids in cages” meme when President Trump was in office. They knew that it would pull the heartstrings of most Americans.

That is one of the things that differentiates us. The so called “political divide” is not just about voting rights, or school lunches. It is about the sanctity of innocent life.  Those of us who the left would put into the bubble of “the far right” base a lot of what we believe on the fact that our children matter.

That inevitably leads to the charge of hypocrisy because many of us also believe in the death penalty, especially for those who harm our children. What the critics fail to note, is that we are care the life of innocents. We are not protecting the lives of those who have had the chance, the same chance that the rest of us have, and failed to do what we think is right. We do not protect those without the basic humanity required to cradle those who have not had the chance yet to make mistakes, and learn, and love.

There is obvious evidence of this in the struggle against abortion. The left frames pregnancy as just a lump of cells, or a parasite that steals from a host. Yet no one can pinpoint when it becomes a a life. Science has continued to move the goalposts closer and closer to conception, as they are able to save life outside of the mother at earlier stages. We believe that life is a gift. It is a possibility that should be nurtured from the very beginning.

The left wants to frame all of this as a simple political issue. Right versus left. It is really a divide between those of us who value humanity, and those who will use our humanity against us for power.

Here is a recent powerful example of how the left uses the innocent. In the video at the link you can see smugglers dropping toddlers over the border fence. They then run away leaving the children with virtually nothing.

And we are pummeled for our lack of compassion.  Is it compassionate to encourage parents to give up their children? It is compassionate to reward the smugglers and coyotes who profit off of the innocent?

The question is why anyone would do this. To create another voting base? For unskilled labor that can be paid off the books increasing someone’s profit margin? Or are they to be sold into the sex trade? The motives are wrapped in falsehoods. The people that encourage this believe they are importing power for themselves. It is that simple.

The people who created this crisis are evil. They are the hypocrites who use our own compassion against us for gain.
