So what you're saying is a very serious problem goes unresolved because the politicians who have the authority to do something about it care more about getting their selves re-elected than they do about doing the job we elected them to do. No doubt that is the case, and is exactly why very few people in this country have any faith left in their government. I certainly don't.
Exactly.
We have no more statesmen. We have politicians who want to keep their jobs, and accept money from all-comers to finance their campaigns. They owe a LOT of favors.
Have you ever watched "House of Cards" on Netflix? It's about as true a portrayal as I've ever seen. It eviscerates our current system.
Another good one is "Newsroom" A very honest look at today's media.
You know what though, we get the government and the media we deserve.
Time to stop barking at each other on divisive issues like gun control and abortion and tackle campaign finance reform. There is no hope until that is handled.
It's also time for us to stop clicking on celebrity nonsense and demand better from our media.
Democrats oppose changing the 2008 Deportation Law which would enable a quick resolution to the border crisis. Looks like the Dems want to keep their future voters in the country on your dime.
The Republicans are the ones who want to change it. Why the hell should the Democrats just give them what they want? My God after all those filibusters?

Because it would stop the insanity at the border that will eventually impact all of us?!
This looks like someone is turning their head to these illegals so the democraphics can be changed. BOTH parties need to put politics aside and stop this! I think Americans need to clean house in Washington and send them all packing and get people in that will fight for WE the people and not be fighting for their re-election.
I'm not being political, I am saying throw all the bums out.
You'd think from the hysteria that the bulk of unaccompanied minors are like 7, 8 years-old. Truth is the vast majority are teens, or women with their pre-teens.
Never let a good 'crisis' go to waste, even if the 'crisis' is manufactured and easily solved.

Because changing that law is in the best interests of this country which would stop the flow of these so-called children crashing our borders of late.

There is no problem.
Enforce existing law.
Deport those that entered illegally. Prosecute the others.
Reform is another word for amnesty.
