The Hill Discovers Family Separation, Ignores US Complicity
The Hill's opinion piece shares the tear-jerking saga of a 'mixed-status couple' separated by immigration policy, detailing the 'holidays without my husband.' While a heartfelt plea, what's conspicuously missing is any mention of the bipartisan legislative machinery—and its powerful donors—that constructs these very walls. It’s a classic 'pull at the heartstrings while ignoring the puppeteers'
maneuver, presenting a problem without daring to name its architects. We can commiserate with families, certainly, but isn't it 'curious' how rarely these outlets examine the lobbying groups pushing for stricter enforcement, or the politicians who champion these policies after receiving significant donations from groups advocating for 'border security' and 'controlled migration'? The Hill might
weep for separated families, but it rarely scrutinizes the hands that sign the separation orders, nor the money that grease those pens.
