Babies in cages...How can anyone now stand for the National Anthem????????

The thought just occurred to me in light of the recent TIME magazine cover and the images of crying babies, stripped of their toys and parents, how can we stand for the National Anthem?

Land of the free and the home of the brave, but not for those fleeing such horrible conditions , seeking asylum to save their children from a fate that will snuff out their lives and futures. What kind of country have we become?
