Try invading my country, it seems to be scaring some of them, and rightly so. And we do need to upgrade physical invasion of the United States to a felony. Especially ORGANIZED invasions like this one.

Crocodile tears. The children are being used as part of the political strategy. They are a tool.


If you don't apply and don't come here legally, then you can't come in, period. With or without children or puppies or frail senior mommys and daddys in wheelchairs. It's a display, it's a hustle, it's organized. You get bounced if you invade, no matter who you bring.


And there is no maker. We are the makers. The parents of the children being utilized for the invasion of our southern border chose their own fate when they chose collectivist tyrants as their leaders. Now they want to run from it? And come here? And bring their corrupt philosophy with them? And vote for similar sewage like that dopey 20-something Socialist in New York? And make my country into Venezuela? Sorry, not happening.

This is a perfect example of how Trumps rallies his base. With FEAR.
His hate filled tweets blaming Dems for everything has his base actually believing that Dems hate this country.
They forget we are the United States of America NOT the divided States.

Invading YOUR country? It's my country too, and most rational people don't see asylum seekers as "invaders". I'm all for mandatory e-verify and criminal prosecution of employers who hire illegals, and finding a way to prospectively repeal birthright citizenship, but to call a caravan of asylum seekers 'invaders' is just silly talk. It happens every year and is organized by human rights organizations in central America and Mexico. https://www.vox.com/2018/4/30/173021...l-asylum-trump

You made my point. This country belongs to ALL of us not just the Trump cult. Aren't you very glad that OUR country didn't feel like you do when your ancestors came here?

It's the parents that are harming their kids not the U.S. government.

And all U.S. citizens are obligated to respect our laws. Most of our ancestors didn't come here illegally so your analogy fails.

You know the beauty of our country is that we get to meet all kinds of people from everywhere in the world.
I love meeting people who are all different colors and religions and sexuality.
I have met people and learned things I never would have if not for being blessed to have been born here.
I am not a Republican or Democrat. I am an American because this country allowed my family to come here.
Please stop thinking this country is just YOURS and be happy you are here.

I am heartbroken that his supporters aren't seeing that taking children from their families that are fleeing horrible conditions is a human rights issue.
If it is not happening to them or theirs, they are not only ok with it but, are happy that our country is causing more suffering.

People seeking amnesty are not the same as illegals.
Why aren't Trumps supporters screaming at the top of their lungs for those who employ illegals to be fined and punished?
Trump is genius at getting his base fired up over something that has been less of a problem in recent years than in times past.

Please don't respond to me with name calling because I will not respond. I am not a dem.

Here's where you go wrong. First, this practice was in place under Obama it wasn't Trump's idea. Second, it's not those seeking asylum at ports of entry that are being separated from their kids it's those who entered illegally with them. Most of these asylum claims are bogus anyway as 75% are rejected. Most are coming here for economic gain on the backs of the U.S. worker/taxpayer not fleeing for their lives.


Most conservatives like myself do want the employers held accountable by implementing e-verify across the board with stiff punishment for those who don't comply. You must not have read the numerous posts where conservatives such as myself have stated it over and over either that or you're in denial. The fact is that illegals are just as guilty as those who hire them but your side only wants to put the blame on the employers.


All Americans should be fired up over this issue whether or not it's less of a problem because we still have millions of illegals within our borders and recently so-called asylum seekers crashing our border. These people are costing us over $100 billion year, increased crime, job losses, reduced wages and overcrowded schools, jails, hospitals, roads and neighborhoods. Sorry, but we can't be the flophouse and employment agency to the whole world's destitute without it negatively impacting our own citizens. You might try a reality check instead of dealing in emotion.
