Biden's Moral Compass: Schools 'Safe' for Migrants, Not Palestinians
The Hill published an opinion piece arguing US public schools have a duty to keep immigrant students safe from ICE raids. A noble sentiment, one might think, until contrasted with the Biden administration's unwavering support for policies that create those very immigrants by fueling conflict abroad. While states like Texas deploy razor wire, the federal government dispatches weaponry. The stated
concern for children fleeing violence rings hollow when the US continues to funnel billions in military aid to regimes actively generating refugees. As OpenSecrets.org confirms, over $35 million flowed from defense contractors into political campaigns in 2023 alone, ensuring a bipartisan consensus on 'security assistance'—a euphemism for bombs. So, while The Hill politely suggests sanctuary for
children fleeing chaos, Washington ensures there's plenty of chaos to flee from. One might ask if the 'duty to keep safe' only applies once refugees clear customs, or if it extends to not funding the very forces making their homelands unlivable. Protecting migrant students inside US borders while actively contributing to their displacement abroad isn't a policy; it's a revolving door for
humanitarian crises, conveniently funded by your tax dollars.
