The average border agent is going to be about 10 times more intelligent than the average CNN reporter...at the bare minimum.

There are compassionate people everywhere in the US, except in the White House.

She can't handle the truth. She gets very uncomfortable when he tells it like it really is. Their "kids in cages" line is about a .5 on the scale of what those border agents see every day. The centers provide refuge for those kids whose parents sent them on a torture journey possibly to their death in the desert. He tells how he saw a child die of heat stroke. He sees young girls given abortion pills for their trip because rape. And CNN lady (and the entire left) complains about US hurting the children? That is just sick.

This jail looked more like a small city, the children would help with laundry, gathering water, etc.
If they prefer the way Mexico runs its prisons they can limit themselves to breaking the law in Mexico. Break the law in America and go to an American run jail or prison. Although if Mexico is offering to take border crossers in to their own prisons and take them off our hands I think I'd be ok with that.

Oh, BTW...

That policy you and tRump like so much is a big failure.

Please ignore this witty link.

Plenty of others will click on it.

Actually if you really look closely it's your and other ILLEGAL entrant supporters that totally lack empathy and humanity, especially those protesting loudmouths in CA.

CA contains over 1/3 of the nations homeless and yet these oh-so-sympathetic protesters and loudmouths chant and scream for MORE poor and homeless AND uneducated non English speakers to be allowed to just walk on in and set up housekeeping.

Please explain how it's compassionate and humane to totally ignore the already burgeoning homeless CITIZEN population in favor of total ILLEGAL outsiders? C'mon, I'd love to hear your or anyone's rationalization of that stance...

Now if there were no, or low amounts of severely poor, homeless and underfed people,families and yes those tear jerking chiiiiildren in every city in every state then y'all might, MIGHT have some kind of high ground.

Fix our house first before opening it to others is what I say...

The FIX for our house is to go after the "American" corporations that hire these millions of illegals. That sub-minimum wage workforce is just another facet of corporate welfare.



Of course, the politicos in DC are beholden to the campaign money they get from those corporations, so that's why the only "action" taken against illegals is focused on women and children. Employer sanctions? No way, because the "right people" benefit from illegal migrants.

Obama's policy was "catch and release", as Pubs liked to call it. And something like 75% of those released showed up for their court dates. No government detention camps. No family separations. No extra work for CBP/ICE and no extra costs to taxpayers.

Sessions and tRump's 'zero tolerance" policy is akin to jailing everyone caught for minor traffic offenses and taking their kids from them.

It's failed.

Bigly.

Lots of extra work for CBP/ICE agents, lots of extra money spent on their detention camps, lots of bad press.

They ALL do.

Speaking of crybabies...

So 25% don’t show up for their hearing? Is this supposed to be a good point? That’s a pretty high number of people who are no shows. Those are the ones who really can’t prove they deserve refugee status.

What that border patrol agent said was true. They have a very different culture with kids south of the border then we do here . I saw it myself... When I was in my twenty's we used to go party in Tijuana. When we would go back to the border to re cross in the middle of the night we'd see 4, 5 year old kids there all by themselves trying to sell us gum. I was shocked and this was 25 years ago. We're trying to fix and control a situation that they created and we're being condemned for it... its insanity
