Where indeed is the outrage? The Biden/Harris administration has apparently lost track of 291,000 unaccompanied children, or UCs, as they are known. The Border Czar, Kamala Harris, has done nothing to staunch the flow of UCs, nevermind protect them or keep track of them.
Had this been a Trump Administration result, there would be protests and 24/7 news coverage. This highlights what’s wrong with America: Selective outrage, prosecution, and sagging morality. Evil is running rampant here.
We hear them tell us we black and brown skins are oppressed. Democrats tell you vote for them because the other party wants you enslaved—but not one Democrat shows a single ounce if concern is given for these (likely) brown-skinned UC’s that are lost somewhere in America. Why? Because the money made from them is lining some pockets. Lose a few hundred thousand minority kids—no big deal.
Minorities in America are being replaced with imported ones who have not known the true freedom America once had. They don’t know in their hearts what life was like when America was strong, a house could be bought on one salary and when a several carts (instead of two bags) of groceries was $150.
These replacements happily take the heavily loaded SNAP and cash cards, free phones and housing. Meanwhile our citizens, Americans of all colors, are struggling under record inflation … Inflation the Biden/Harris administration has the gall to tell us is getting better. It’s those evil corporations, they tell us.
We don’t appear to matter to the ruling elite. Yet we are told that we must vote for them year after year with zero ___s given to what happens in our communities.
The imported replacements killing Americans? No big deal. It’s a blip (or series of tiny, fleeting blips) in the news cycle. There are American lives being extinguished by people the Biden/Harris administration have allowed to walk across the border. Dreams dashed, families devastated. These violent people are let out of jail in a blink. But a grandmother praying outside an abortion clinic goes to jail for YEARS. They want us fighting among ourselves.
We are paying for services for these illegal immigrants with our taxes. Our grandchildren will pay the burgeoning debt, that is — if we have any grandchildren.
We Americans with black/brown skins are encouraged to abort our lineage. They put abortion clinics in our neighborhoods on purpose. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was inspired by eugenics. This is evil exploding in our time.
You see, I haven’t forgotten what my Alaska Native grandmother taught me. She taught me to respect ALL life. She taught me to be thankful to God and ingrained in us to be respectful to nature. We said Gunalchéesh when we caught and killed a fish. Her traditional beliefs showed the deep respect for life of all things. Can you imagine her horror listening to someone on the left promoting to-term abortion? I can — because I have the same horror. My grandmother instilled the respect for life in me. She taught us to have respect for ourselves. She taught us to not allow ourselves to be full of hatred toward those who were racist-she explained that they were sadly ignorant.
My grandmother wouldn’t tolerate us being ignorant. We all knew the difference between right and wrong, between good and evil. She would not be voting for the progressive left Kamala Harris. I certainly will not be.
We shouldn’t tolerate racism of any kind, yet we are all sitting here while people are being discriminated against because of the color of their skin. We see evidence of people/companies being blatantly racist against whites. What happened to content of character?
We saw people looting and destroying people’s businesses. We see on the news people stealing en masse from stores. Then these same news anchors tell you that any business closure in crime ridden neighborhoods is racist. What happened to rule of law?
I read an article talking about how they choose to not teach minority children the same math, because math is racist. Actually-treating children differently according to race—is the definition of racism.
The current trend we see of racism toward whites is flat wrong. Can you honestly tell me that your grandmother or grandfather would say that’s the right way to act? Maybe you don’t care if your grandparents wouldn’t tolerate hateful racist behavior. If that’s true, we probably shouldn’t be friends. If they did, and you agree, we probably shouldn’t be friends.
If you disagree with me and want to start a flame or troll war on your keyboard, then you’re part of the problem. We should be able to agree to disagree.
There is no room for ignorance. This is not the time for apathy. Maybe you don’t like Trump. Think about though, did you like the economy under Trump?
Did you like the cost to fill your gas tank or the cost to fill your pantry and refrigerator, the lower interest rates for mortgages, elimination of the Obamacare individual mandate that hurt Americans more than it helped, and no foreign wars?
It’s time for all of the American people to wake up before this moral decay infects and eliminates us all. I encourage everyone to register to vote. Vote for conservatives and vote for Trump in 2024. Get friends registered. Vote. It’s critical. If you live in a swing state it’s even more important.

Excellent, I agree 100% and thank you for speaking up.
All because there is no honest media/journalism, just liberal propaganda
Excellent commentary! Thank you
This was an awesome article and I want to thank you for writing it. When you mentioned your grandmother, it touched my heart. I’ve always joked that everyone should be lucky enough to have a little native granny. I have met many in the older generation and almost invariably, they just exude a sweet kind disposition. I always want to go up and hug them!
Native Americans should be especially upset over the wave of illegal immigration. I feel something is so wrong when I see illegal migrant children dressed in new name brand clothing and Nikes, with a nice phone to go with them. I see them at the health club and filling carts at grocery stores. Meanwhile, native children dress in old clothes and have so little. Shows where Democrat priorities are.
A good read and brave stance, boldly spoken in today’s world. I appreciate it.
I am so amazed by the lack of questioning and independent thought in this election cycle, the blind acceptance of the public. And why the public, the voters are continuing to accept the lack of questioning by journalists, not inquiring past what they are Holly-go lightly told by candidates and political parties baffles me. The same so called “journalists” who think the term “scoop” means ice cream and are intent interpreting the news for us instead of reporting it so we can think for ourselves.
Excuse me while I step off my soapbox.
Thanks for the thought provoking opinion piece.
You can thank Ronald Reagan and the destruction of “The Fairness Doctrine”.
Thank you Marcy for taking the time to share sound wisdom and truth! So well said!
Marcy, thank you for the well thought-out statements. I just hope that we can get the natives of the coastlines and the interior to start standing up against the abuse against them by the illegal regime that is occupying the White House. Peltola is misleading them. Murkowski has been infiltrating the native communities and spreading her communistic/socialistic/marxism ideals since…? Maybe her dad was the one slowly starting that infiltration wheel turning. We need all of the Alaskan natives to understand that they are being used and for them to start pushing back against Peltola, Murkowski and the regime. This situation is truly becoming a do or die situation and I hope that humanity will chose to do instead of die.
Great Read, Thank you and God Bless
Liberals have been in charge 12 of the last 16 years, yet somehow everything is all Donald Trump’s fault?
I’m sure the children are exactly where this administration wanted them; in the hands of child traffickers.
Thank you for your contribution Marcy.
You are a remarkable inspiration to my daughters independent thought process that gets overlooked by their peers way to often.
Important and relevant article Marcy!!
When can we expect a resolution to this troubling situation? As someone with firsthand experience of the trauma associated with child sex slavery in the United States, I can offer valuable insights into the significant challenges faced by survivors.
The term “unaccompanied children” often fails to adequately reflect the seriousness of their situations. These children are frequently treated as assets by private equity firms. Alarmingly, there are vested interests across the political spectrum regarding this issue. While not all individuals are responsible for the shortcomings, there are indeed concerning practices within these systems.
Sadly, some of those in leadership roles are contributing to these challenges. The involvement of private nonprofit organizations, coupled with federal, state, and local law enforcement, has resulted in an unsettling scenario where funding is readily available, yet effective resolutions are lacking. It is troubling that some discussions treat undocumented children as mere alternative assets, while these are vulnerable individuals in need of protection and care. It is vital that every child, both in the United States and abroad, receives proper support and assistance.
Our children are not commodities. I am deeply troubled by the politicization of this critical issue. This is a non-partisan concern that mandates unified action. Regardless of individual political affiliations, it is essential for all of us to come together and drive meaningful change. As a survivor and advocate against child sex slavery, I can confirm that this crisis is manifesting openly, yet it is often dismissed as conspiracy or neglected due to its distressing nature. The time for mere discussion has passed; immediate action is necessary.
When a child is rescued from exploitation, they are indifferent to political divisions or racial identities. Our focus should be on addressing these issues rather than fostering division while children are suffering. We must confront the alarming reality of child exploitation head-on.
In conclusion, as awareness of missing and exploited children grows, it is crucial to convert that awareness into action, especially among those in positions of influence. I encourage stakeholders in Alaska to assess the number of child exploitation cases occurring within our state. We must critically examine the role of the Office of Children Services and the potential risks of grooming within educational environments.
This is a serious matter—our children are at risk. I urge those in positions of authority who have not yet taken meaningful action to reconsider their responsibilities. Time is of the essence, and we will ultimately be accountable for our actions and our inaction. Knowing about these issues and failing to act is equally, if not more, detrimental.
It is imperative that we act with integrity and prioritize the welfare of our children, beginning right here in Alaska. Alaskan children deserve the freedom to play outside, explore their communities, and attend school without the threat of grooming or exploitation.
These are also perilous times for many children in Alaska. No child should be taken hostage and used as a pawn for financial and/or personal gain within any community in Alaska. Children should and do deserve to live in safety within their homes and communities.

Marcy is my wife, and damn am I proud of her for this article! There is not a bit of pablum or hyperbole in anything she wrote. Unfortunately I never her grandmother, but from the stories I’ve heard, I know she’d beam with pride at her granddaughter’s words. If you read and liked her piece, please pass it on to others, especially those who would probably disagree. They need to hear its message the most. Thank you all for your kind words of support for my exceptional wife!
She is a true treasure. – sd
Thank you all for the kind words. I was really dismayed realizing that many consider this article to be brave. This should horrify everyone. It shows the real temperature of our country and is a visible measure of how far our country has fallen.
It made me want to speak out even more. We all, need to do more. We need to absolutely change the direction of our country. We cannot be apathetic. The live and let live philosophy can only exist if you are free to do so without being fearful of retaliation for thinking differently. These are not those times. People who are on the right are being labeled as threats to democracy. We are a threat to a totalitarian regime that wants to absolutely undermine our rights, constitution and country. The time for apathy is gone. Now is the time to actually fight, fight, fight for a strong, economically sound, secure constitutional republic. What kind of world do you want to leave for your grandchildren?? One where TikTok videos encompass their day, they are removed from their home because their teacher thinks they act more like another gender and your child doesn’t use the right pronouns, and they only speak out when their voice is acceptable to the chosen narrative.
I was brought up to stand up for what is right. We have been silent too long. God Bless the USA, may he give us the strength to fight to right our country. The cost of apathy is too great.
Amen.
WRWY, sister!
Well-stated Ms. Sowers!!! God bless you!
Marcy, thank you for stepping up and speaking out about the condition our country is in. We are in dire straits and people don’t seem to care!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
