Of course it isn’t bad.

What we are seeing is the same mindset that continues to defend the confederacy and thinks that Andrew Jackson was a good president.

Maybe a few of them are mad because they were taken in by the ultimate huckster and so now need to take it out on others, but for the most part, this is who these people are.
They are mean and cruel just like their guy in the WH.

Oh sure, some will claim that they care about laws, unless, of course the laws state that discrimination based on color or sexual orientation is wrong and then they’ll throw that out the window.

They’ll profess fealty to Jesus but completely ignore His actual words regarding “the least of these.”

They’ve got all sorts of justifications for their inhumanity, each more self-serving than the last.

There’s no point in engaging them, it just makes them double-down on the crazy.
Just be glad that your heart hasn’t yet turned to stone.

Actually I believe this will be a win for the people who support curtailing illegal immigration in the long run. The moral outrage will facilitate a legal change in how people are detained, but with a legal change they WILL BE DETAINED without fear of court intervention until their case is adjudicated. They will no longer be released on their own recognizance.

Your argument is just more of "I know you are, but what am I" that we hear all the time from Trumpees. It is getting very stale by now.
Do you have any pics of the cages? Are they the dog crates like we use in our family room? Any dimensions? Do they use the bottom pan and a liner?

I mean, can the tykes even stand up in them?

I have never known a US Administration like this one.

Punish and bully your closest allies, whilst looking at despots with respect.

you don't have a clue, I'm sorry, but you don't....American's need to start realizing that laws are made to protect others....

I guess you missed the part about how many criminals are coming into America, and if you don't take the kids, they could be hurt, but I suppose way to many people are using this to hate Trump even more.

If Trump put the kids in with their parents and other detainees, and there were criminals, drug runners, child molesters, in with them, and they hurt or worse, killed one of those kids, you'd be screaming to.

yes, and guess what, they are the ones wanting a world wide global economy.

The Pope, I wouldn't give you a plug nickle for the pope. Who is he anyway, a man, a man who condoned many others of his kind, to rape and molest children....no sir, anyone who would excuse laws for convenience sake, is wrong...

I don't care what they say...or who says it...

I know a man from England who won't go back there any longer b/c his home town is over run by people from other countries. So, it works both ways...you cannot open the flood gates and not expect terror inside....like we have now...

You know what we should do, to get that point across, it should be a law, that when a crime is committed they have to tell Americans, if that person was an illegal...maybe then, people would start to wake up....

I read where one of these "detention centers" was a re-purposed closed Walmart store so, no...they're not being kept in small cages.

So when a criminal in the UK is sent to prison, they get to keep their kids with them?





Not to mention the reputation the UK has with it's grooming gangs. Been going on for 30+ years and the law has turned a blind eye. No wonder they support child trafficking along the US/MX border. Just trying to normalize this sort of thing I guess.
