Let me take your 5 year old child by force and throw them in a cage without you knowing where they are, then talk to me about abuse, tough guy
People like you are giving America a bad name, you should be ashamed
You have zero empathy, for anyone, and its disgusting
Not true. I have empathy for the taxpayers that have to fund this mess.
HA How about the 20 billion dollars your president wants us to pay for an idiotic wall....after promising he would convince Mexico to foot the bill for 2 years? How about the 2 trillion dollars their tax plan adds to our deficit?
Is this guy for real?
You are a hypocritical mess...
I actually kinda think that spending the money on the wall would be cheaper in the long run than prosecuting thousands upon thousands of people and putting the kids up to stay in warehouses every year.
Really? You think this zero tolerance policy is going to continue on a yearly basis?
I have no idea. Let’s say they remove the zero tolerance- they still have war torn countries and cartels forcing people out of their countries for safety and ending up here. Look at Europe, most of those countries bordering the type of countries have walls/fences/etc. and prosecute & throw people out who try to come in. But it can’t be cheap.
Ma'am, how much do you think we spend on prosecuting these folks currently?
Perhaps we could do a better job of not turning down so many folks at the legal ports of entry? A lot of people who are currently being prosecuted and have had their kids sent to these horrible wallmart cages tried to do it the right way but were not able to get in. If you travelled halfway across the world out of a war torn country only to be told the legal port is full, what would you do? Turn around and go traverse back to your war torn country or do what these folks did?
I don’t know, bust out your calculator and let me know. There’s no cages by the way, I haven’t read any info saying that kids are in cages lol. And maybe you’re misssing the point but the reason they’re being prosecuted is to send a message that they can’t just turn around and try it illegally, it’s supposed to deter emigration unless it’s legal and with a visa. Is it working? Obviously not. I’m just saying that the whole shit is assbackwards and can’t be cheap the way it is now. We’ll have hundreds of these Walmart asylums before you know it and then we’re dealing with a humanitarian disaster. The cartels know what they’re doing, they’re not trying to save people, they’re taking their money and making our government deal with them.
Really? If you haven't read any info saying that, it's clear you haven't sought one fucking article about this. I screen grabbed what showed up when I simply searched "cages" on Google just now. No mention of Trump, or immigration or anything - and yet, would you look at those results! What other obvious and immediately provable realities would you like to ignore?
I m pretty sure there are no cages at the detention centers, I think the cages are there when they are initially charged.
The comment I was responding to was crystal clear: "There’s no cages by the way, I haven’t read any info saying that kids are in cages lol". That statement differs from this reality - and once again, why the fuck does it matter in what situation the children are being caged?

What I recall is that in the 80s, it was the unstated policy to look the other way because business wanted cheap labor...and they didn't care who crossed the border. You know who occupied the White House during the 80s. So I have complete sympathy and acceptance for all of the immigrants who came and worked hard to find a better life. No problem at all. I also have no problem with all the refugees showing up at our borders now to request asylum and doing that is completely legal. Our current government is engaging in child abuse and kidnapping and should get busy immediately in reuniting the families they've torn apart. This current policy is a putin boy policy and he'll burn in hell for what he's doing....along with the people who aren't doing anything to stop him. Yeah, I think that's how I feel...my humble opinion. My best to all.
Every single person in this thread is either an immigrant, or a descendant of an immigrant.
Including Captain America, unsung
My ancestors did it legally; I have zero problem with legal immigration.
1. Not according to the Native Americans 2. Prove it (this is seemingly always claimed by every white European descendant, I dont believe them all) 3. Maybe mine didn't.
The first study, published by the libertarian Cato Institute in February, examines criminal conviction data for 2015 provided by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It found that native-born residents were much more likely to be convicted of a crime than immigrants in the country legally or illegally.
"As a percentage of their respective populations, there were 56 percent fewer criminal convictions of illegal immigrants than of native-born Americans in Texas in 2015," author Alex Nowrasteh writes. "The criminal conviction rate for legal immigrants was about 85 percent below the native-born rate."
The data shows similar patterns for violent crimes such as homicide and property crimes such as larceny. The study did find that immigrants in the United States illegally were more likely than native-born people to be convicted of "gambling, kidnapping, smuggling, and vagrancy." But as those crimes represented just 0.18 percent of all convictions in Texas that year, they had little effect on overall crime rates.
@PJPOWER when is Texas going to do something about those "native born?" Seems the Lone Star state has its priorities messed up.
If you're on FB, check out Young Turks. They're talking about American Airlines flight attendants describing kids being flown to "new homes". The kids cry. They're told the can't speak or look at flight attendants and visa vera. More horrors.
Sorry no link. Maybe some can find one.

Cenk is also talking about how the language of the Nazi's early and of the Trump administration in this current situation are very similar. So are we heading in the same direction? Could be. Could be.

Yep, that's one of the words bandied about by Trump and Co.

Every study I’ve seen backs this up - the crime rate amongst immigrants is lower than amongst those born American citizens. I believe the same pattern holds true in Canada, too.

No surprise here when Team Trump Treason totally disregards them in practice and with who he cuddles with, putin on the ritz and the very honorable Un.

The U.N. human rights council treats Israel like North Korea so I am not surprised by this at all. Wasn't this a Trump campaign promise?
Do they really or is that what you’ve been lead to believe? Distinctions are important but not when you’re trying to fire up your evangelical base to bring about the end of times.
Do more research as plenty of non-binding resolutions against Israel have passed but more legally binding sanctions have been passed against North Korea. Words, facts and rhetoric matter.

God forbid i have a different opinion than the majority of this forum. You are right, I ve been led to believe this. My man Sean hannity and Ann Coulter told me so it must Be true. I m out. Time to watch some Fox News baby!
Leader blames those people. (job loss, sucking money from economy, rape, drugs, crime)
Base starts to believe. (already did really)
They are the reason for our failure or country declining.
Get state TV (Fox, Breitbart, etc. , and all radio talk shows) to spew propaganda regardless of facts or reason.
Base believes they are the reason for their troubles.
Implement policy that starts rounding them up with declaration from Sessions (Goebbles)
Get Law Enforcement to comply and that is the right thing to do.
Put them in camps in cages (or walls with chain link fences)
Not similar to 1938 at all.
It s actually not similar at all. This is such a stretch by the left. The only thing similar is that this year also ends in the number 8.
There are strong similarities. The tactics being used are actually identical in some cases.
Imo not at all. Actually I see zero similarities to Nazi germany persecuting their own citizens and the u.s. Arresting illegal immigrants at the border.
I don’t comment on here much but I have Jewish friends and have spent time with their family members who survived concentration camps.. and for any posts to describe what is going on as a comparison to Nazis and their treatment of Jews is beyond reason. Just stop it! You may hate Trump but to ever think this country would let things go that far is beyond ignorant. In this country there are two sides to this argument and if you read up and research the side that doesn’t agree with you then you may learn something. There were never two sides to Hitlers treatments of Jews. I can’t believe I am actually having to say this... Shut the fuck up!
Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

Did I mention faux news, Hannity or coulture? I linked to a repube congressman from FL and an ardent Team Trump Treason supporter being fact checked for a similar claim. You claimed that you thought it was a Team Trump Treason campaign promise. So, did you blindly accept Team Trump Treason’s campaign rhetoric, you know, from the guy who tells on average a minimum of six lies a day, if you didn’t get it from faux, Hannity or coulture? God forbid you form informed, fact based opinions.
Hate Trump all you want...ill agree with 90% of what you say..don’t prove your point by making this comparison to Nazis and treatment of Jews.
