...they exploit foreign families for profit.

It is an interesting political point about the demographics of remaining children and how that may be viewed by those folks cheering this on (folks who NEVER benefit from the divisiveness their political class is selling them), but it's hard to press without falling into their racial diatribe.

I'd keep it under my hat.
