Yet another story appeared in The Salt Lake Tribune the other day describing a visit by Rep. John Curtis and other members of the U.S. Congress to the filthy, unsafe facilities where asylum seekers are being imprisoned. The pull quotes and headlines are always the same: "This is not who we are," etc.
Please, Rep. Curtis, and those of you who were there, stop saying that. Just. Stop.
This is exactly who we are. This abominable treatment of human beings is happening. And every time one of you says, "This is not who we are," or, "We are better than this," you are denying these atrocities.
