Please show me in your post #1264 where you stated the bold. Sorry, it's not there.


You would really place kids in the same facility that may contain murders, rapists, etc.?
No one knows if any one of the many hundreds, or more, that are being held in any one facility has a criminal history, yet you'd toss kids in with them. smh.

You keep repeating this over and over again.

I've shown you a link where Mexico is required to vet asylum seekers and give those with legitimate claims asylum.

Once again, you darn well know that the majority don't apply for asylum in Mexico is because they want all the freebies the US has to offer.

Meanwhile, what have you done about this problem? Have you offered to take in these so-called asylum seekers and their kids into your home? After all, you claim to be so worried and upset about all of this. Time for you to walk the walk instead of talking the talk.

It's despicable to compare what happened during the Holocaust to what is happening now. When you make such bogus and despicable claims you trivialize the suffering of Holocaust victims.

Where is your concern for the kids of American citizens whose parents go to jail? They can't take their kids with them.

Have you offered to foster any of these kids---either American citizen kids or the kids of these so-called asylum seekers?

Many of these so-called asylum seekers don't have any proof that these kids are even theirs. For all you know, the adults are involved in human trafficking.

No matter how many times you repeat the same thing, it doesn't make it true. If you really support foreign people to be treated as u.s. citizens, then you should also protest to all the bombs and all the wars that force people to move to the u.s. and europe.

Classic case of double standards.

Just let them come in and they will work. I don't care if they live 20 to a house, that's their business.

Better idea, why don't you go to Honduras or Salvador and start that business where you will have all the cheap labor you could desire and you won't have to worry about silly workplace or environmental regulations?

Americans saw what a disaster the 8 years of Obama were, and soundly rejected the policies and platform that was associated with that. Ones that put everyone on earth ahead of Americans. Policies that divided us by race by identity politics and played us against one another. Policies that put working people and business owners behind leaches and deadbeats. They are terrified at seeing those policies rejected and policies of prioritizing Americans working. They know their dream for a failed America and turning us into effectively a communist nation, is doomed.

I think lefties real fear is that Trump will use those same tactics on them. After all, they were the ones that went full tard and embraced the ol divide and conquer. The thing is, Trump and many of his supporters are not that stupid. We want unity in America, not division. We want to work with one another, not against one another. And if we ever have to defend America from a threat, we want to fight the enemy, not ourselves. Divide and conquer brought Rome down, and it will just as easily bring the USA down, if we decide to go down that road.

Learn your history lefties, and teach your children well, so this nation never has to travel the path to treachery.

The Holocaust didn't start until eight years after the first concentration camp was built. The ground work came in increments.
