Little Chiquillita has more sense than the whole pinche Government!

A second grader in Maryland called out Michelle Obama about Barack Obama's punitive and destructive approach towards immigration and lack of implemention of just and equitable Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). She asked Michelle Obama, "My mom ... she says that Barack Obama is taking everybody away that doesn't have papers". Basically, this bright second grader pointed out what Obama is really doing instead of figuring out CIR; deporting immigrants who have committed no crime, but are criminalized by the existing immigration system.

The fact that Michelle Obama focused her answer on getting people the "right kind of papers", instead of decriminalizing immigration, did not get past this niña lista, who pointed out, "but my mom doesn't have any [papers]." A Second grader gets it, yet hundreds of politicians and millions of people across the US do not.
