Yesterday and today. we have condoned and endorsed activities which put children at risk. Children are not safe in mosques. in churches. in U.N.protected schools. in hospitals. in ambulances. or even playing on the beach. 167 years ago. my greatgrandmother came from Ireland. 12 years old. by herself. on a boat. landed in the docks of New York. If this Congress had been sitting then. she would have been sent back to Roscommon County. to her people. to her family. where a third of the people were dying of famine. a third emigrated. and a third stayed. That is what we would have sent her back to. without a hearing. without anything. She had no rights.
