The parents are to blame for putting their children in this situation.
How sad. All the years of hearing Democrats cry “what about the children”. Disgusting.
All of this was avoidable. Our dementia ridden President and his misguided party of socialist progressives think they can solve the world’s issues, while at the same time put millions on the voter rolls that will be perpetually beholden to them.

Backyard? No, our FRONT YARD.
