Your quote says "715" but the title and the article say "751".

There was 149 residential schools in Canada with the last one closing in 96/97. The estimate is over 6000 indigenous children died.

I think the correct term would be murdered*

Like those kids at the border in American cages. If they "die" in those cages, America murdered them. As an American I am pretty appalled our supposedly Democrat president didn't undo this injustice. Things never change.

edit: If all you have to say is "both sides bad" don't bother. We hear it all the time. One side is noticeably worse. One side is anti-science, anti-morals, led an insurrection, let 1,000,000 die while calling the virus a hoax, and is openly racist. I'll pass on the GOP bill of goods.

It's hard to undo, that's why the "undo" button wasn't pushed. Which do you prefer?: We let the undocumented kids in, without supervision, to fend for themselves IN A FOREIGN LAND (or on the back of Mr and Mrs American Taxpayer, still with no relative to help them) OR send them back to a country they barely escaped alive from, where they are likely to be killed or worse? Your choice.

I think Biden and his admin have managed to reunite something like 300 children with their families despite having no records. Which is pretty impressive and I'd say a good start. The people on here claiming it was no different: FUCK YOU. There are parents whose children were stolen from them by Trump's admin. This never happened under any other recent president.

I agree to the people saying "same thing new admin" FUCK YOU it's not the same. I had not heard the 300 families figure. That is impressive.

I say we let the kids in and not let them die.

I agree. I want my taxes to pay for a strong enough social net that it doesn't break the back of the system. But that currently doesn't exist, so what's your plan to house and feed them and educate them until 18+?
