Using children as political “chits”

Children have no choice in who their parents will be, nor the circumstances or geography wherein they start life. But if they did, and I were a child facing that choice, I would want parents with the courage to sacrifice everything trying to keep me safe and make my life better than theirs. Better to find those parents in a third-world country than choose a posturing, preening father utterly devoid of moral courage or compassion, even though that father might be rich, might even have somehow become the leader of a powerful nation – if that father were Donald Trump, I would decline and look south, where I could start life with good and decent people who are not governed by a ruling party utterly devoid of principle and courage. Better that third-world country than the most powerful nation in history when that once great and proud nation is becoming the worst shithole in history.
