George Kevin Watt: “One wonders how they can sleep at night, much less sit still in church.'
“Austrian psychologist Katherine Wolf listed the symptoms: children became listless, uninterested in their surroundings. They were even apathetic about hearing news from home. They became bedwetters: they shook in the dark from nightmares and, in the day, they often seemed only half awake. Children wept for their parents and grieved for their missing families. In the night, when the darkness and the nightmares came calling, they didn’t want just anyone; they wanted their mothers.
Anna Freud, daughter of the great Swiss psychologist Sigmund Freud, was living in London at the time, and reported the results of a 12-month study finished in 1941 which concluded that “separation from their parents is a worse shock for children than a bombing.” Fast forward to 2020, and a book by New York Times reporter Jacob Soboroff, “Separation: Inside an American Tragedy.” In it, Soboroff meticulously documents the origins of America’s own child separation policy. Beginning with the policy’s brief consideration and quick rejection by the Obama administration. Barack Obama, who could hardly be accused of being soft on illegal immigration, had just finished setting a record for deportations during a single presidential term.
Enter the Trump administration, who began actively pursuing a policy of family separation as a deterrent to illegal immigration. While it was true that the Obama administration temporarily detained children who were unaccompanied by parents, Trump acted aggressively to take children from their mothers and hustle them off to god-knows-where. Reporters and even members of Congress were barred from touring the facilities where they were held.
As a former missionary and tithe-paying member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who currently chooses to be inactive, I think I have enough skin in the game to say this: that it isn’t a good look in terms of the Christian bona fides of the LDS Church that a majority of its Utah members voted to return Trump to office in 2020, and will vote for him again in 2024 if he is the Republican nominee.
