>>>Giving away children with no paper trail to christian adoption agencies is abhorrent in the extreme.
Children with "no paper trail" often a) aren't with their own parents b) aren't there by choice. Why would you classify an adoption agency, which might try to place them with a loving family, as "abhorrent"?

>>>Purposefully worsening conditions punitively in regard to food, sanitation, and medical care rather than housing people temporarily and humanely should not be policy. Locking people up with no means of redress for extended periods of time is also criminal,
All of that is pretty much "situation normal" for pending deportees here in Japan.

In my experience, the perception among successful foreign immigrants here is "Do things the right way and this almost certainly will never be a risk for you. Insist on breaking the laws and you will get ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED. This isn't nice, but it is just."
>>>That does not mean I'm willing to support traitors who attempted to co-opt the democratic process while aligning themselves with a nation state that is our enemy.
You're right, you should give no quarter to those in our halls of power who have aligned themselves with China.
Russia: 150 million people, $4 trillion GDP, primary threat vectors are against globally-irrelevant Eastern European states
China: 1.3 billion people, $20 trillion GDP, primary threat vector is against the lynchpin of the world's semiconductor industry
If half of our elites are in bed with Russia, and half are in bed with China....shouldn't we be focusing more energy on extirpating the ones aligned with the more dangerous threat?
