Weird to me how obtuse you’ve chosen to be on this issue. As someone who self identified as “never trump”, you are willing to die on any hill he erects. There’s a lot of dipshits on here that can’t think beyond not pissing their pants but you’re typically a well reasoned guy. Saddens me.
Maybe it just shows how left you and others have gone... like liberal socialist left.
Dude, that's simply not true. The law has been on the books, yes but no administration has enacted the policy until Trump did. No administration has forcibly removed children from their parents at the border until Trump and Co started doing so 6 weeks ago.
Trump's own people are out there acknowledging that they are the first to do this practice, I don't know what else you need to see to understand that. The stuff from Obama was for unaccompanied minors crossing the border, not young children coming w/ their families.

The parents sending these kids are using them as leverage. It’s is forcing out government to take measures to protect our sovereignty. We did not ask for these people to come and there is a correct way to go about coming here. We allow more legal migrants in our country than every other nation on earth but these people are coming into our country illegally. Do you ever ask yourself why these kids all of a sudden showed up under obama? Were you this mad when the Obama administration gave a bunch of these kids to human traffickers? Build the wall and if nothing else send the message that the US is no longer open borders for anyone wanting to send their children over here to break the law. Our open borders are creating a crisis. No country on earth can survive without borders. Especially with a welfare state. What happens to kids here when the parents are taken to jail and no relatives are available? I’m assuming you think these kids should be placed in the prison system with their parents? That sounds safe
1. Don't take kids from their families. Full stop. What happens after that is a separate issue. Taking the kids does nothing to help the latter issue in any way, shape or form. It is a punitive measure.
Catch up, man. He’s indicated support for either as long as the four pillars are addresses. Both do that. I personally like the Goodlatte bill because it contains E-Verify provisions
There. We can be done now, you’ve gotten to the bottom of things and there no need to discuss further.
this must end!
You do understand a great many of these children are not with their parents, and merely accompany the illegal adults. Most wouldnt know the word asylum if it was explained to them.. They dont seek asylum from religious persecution or democratic beliefs.... they seek a better standard of living/ a job, but mostly the free benefits our government gives them. So.. they can get in line and apply for immigration legally, and wait their turn.. just like you and me. And from my experience in Mexico and Latin America, these "detention centers" are the fricking Hyatt Regency meets ChuckieCheese to these kids..Are far better lot than most of our legitimate children from our own country without present parents or in foster care.
The pic that I posted is from this weekend. It's from the NPR article that I provided a link to.
I guess that I am because I consider it one of the best news sources out there. I also think that BBC is good.
