When they study the history of this nation, this moment, this place, will mark a nadir, a staggering descent into darkness.
A time when this nation's heart hardened, when decency and humanity were nowhere evident, when kindness and compassion neared extinction.
As we stare in near disbelief that this country, this country, could treat children, babies, with such disdain and disregard, their lives considered of so little worth, we wonder who and what we have become.
We should be ashamed that on our watch this nation has fallen into such grave disrepair. History will not easily forgive our transgressions. And neither should we.

I would only point out that the failure of our country does not start at our southern border with a breakdown of humanity. It goes far beyond that. We have accomodated corrupt governments south of our border for decades by lending those governments money in the name of world economic stability, Yet we have not asserted ourselves with those same governments when it comes to human rights that it provides its citizens. --RE
