     There has been a strange response by many White conservatives to the separation of migrant children from their parents. Whether we are discussing undocumented migrants or those requesting asylum, there has been rightwing pushback to the larger chorus of condemnation of the Trump administration for its zero tolerance. These right-wingers claim that it is the parents who are to blame for the separation crisis.

An example of amazing individuals of this kind is Walter Carr, a resident of Homewood, Ala – who walked 20 miles to get to his job in Pelham. This is not fiction, but an actual true story of a young man who refused to complain and decided to do whatever it would take to keep his job.
