The contradictory juxtaposition of a paradox.

How is it possible to have a celebration of freedom and independence on one side of the country and have people locked up in cages, including women and children, on the other side of the country?

When these two events are juxtaposed, it does not make sense? It is hypocritical, to say the least.

The same government that is holding these people in cages is the same government that wants to throw a big military and fireworks display in Washington tomorrow night. One might think the government would have the decency to hold off on their celebration until they can find a solution to the crisis on our border?

It is insane!
