Migrants and Refugees took our children
Invaders took the children.
Africa -Children of Indigenous Africans became slaves
Australia- Children of Indigenous Australians became slaves
America- Children of Indigenous Americans became slaves
Caribbean- Children of Indigenous Caribbeans became slaves
Was there any nation on Earth, that was untouched by greedy Europeans, enslaving the local populations ?
Gov't's separation of immigrant children from their parents revives deep pain among American Indians
June 18, 2018
This is not the first time children in the United States have been forcibly separated from their parents.
Our nation has a history of it. This was done to hundreds of thousands of slave children whose parents or themselves were sold to new, often distant owners.
It happened to tens of thousands of American Indian children who were snatched from their parents and forced to attend boarding schools where they were abused and their heritage denigrated and desecrated.

It took too many men, too much money, and too many resources to persist on killing native American tribes. A new way to subdue them, was to destroy their cultures.
They forced them to convert. The children had a heritage and culture of their own. They were punished until they gave it up.
"...government policy designed to take away their Indian-ness by removing their hair, their language, their culture, and their religion."
It was a collaboration between Christian religion and government.
This had nothing to do with diplomacy.
This was coercion.
