Name

How things are named tend to influence what people believe about them. It is a mistake to say that the US is a christian country but it is acceptable to say that the people believe in certain principals like love your neighbor as yourself, forgive others who have wronged you, love your enemies, don't harbor resentments, repent when you have done wrong, feed the hungry and clothe the naked. These are things that most people agree that represent good citizenship. Names change. Pro abortion became pro choice which became women's health. On the border illegal immigrants became migrants which became newcomers. It is OK to use euphemisms but not to lose track of the situation. For example the border. There are 400,000 illegal immigrants in school at an average cost of $15,000 per student per year. Added to that is the disruption caused by the language barrier. The government has lost track of 85,000 children who are probably not in school A May 2017 report from Doctors Without Borders said that of more than 400 people surveyed in Mexico at facilities that help migrants, 31.4 percent of women had been sexually abused during their transit through Mexico. U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations (OFO) together seized nearly 549,000 pounds of illicit drug substances nationwide in FY 2023. Cartels make $13 billion per year from migrants The National Immigration forum says 75% of unaccompanied children arriving at the US Mexico border are victims of human trafficking.
