In 2014 Obama faced a similar humanitarian crisis on the border. More than 60,000 unaccompanied children arrived at the southern border from the Northern Triangle trying to escape from the poverty and violence. Obama tried many of the same tactics Trump tried, except for the cruel practice of separating children from parents. Obama expanded the network of shelters for children awaiting to be reunited with family living in the U.S. Yes Obama separated children from family, but only if the parents were unfit. In 2014 Obama asked Congress to advance an immigration over haul bill. "The failure of House Republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, it's bad for our economy, and it's bad for our future." Source: npr President Obama Also Faced A Crisis At The Southern Border.


So, under a Republican held house for Obama's last 6 years in his presidency and two years into Trump's presidency and not one bill for immigration reform? Why? Yeah build that wall. It will magically make all illegals from all countries disappear.

Republicans will gladly pass an immigration bill that doesn’t give anything to current illegals. Democrats are the ones insisting we let them stay.

Actually, it was Obama who first separated parents from their kids. I don't know why this has to be repeated over and over to the libs in here and for the same reasons that Trump has done it. We have laws that state that kids can't be jailed with their parents. We also have rules for asylum none of which includes poverty or violence. There are other countries one can migrate to not just ours or a safer place within their own countries. Mexico offered asylum seekers jobs of which most turned down.

The immigration bill under Obama was nothing but amnesty and another one is just plain wrong! That isn't "reform" it's rewarding immigration law breakers once again for violating our immigration laws.

Business is insisting they stay. Both parties want the money business pays to see that happen.

I suppose Kelly could have told Trump to stuff it, but he has a deep sense of duty and thought he could help as Chief of Staff. I wish to God he was still head of DHS.

You sound TRIGGERED.
What does that butthurt crap, have to do with Central America migrating here.

Oh, dear, you left out the word "shill", lol. Let me guess. You're a Q-tard. Are you even familiar with the Trump cabinet and the people who've come and gone and why? I'll tell you what it has to do with Central America migrating here. You need a tough SOB who can handle it. John Kelly was an excellent pick for DHS and he'd know how to handle the situation and he'd be taking care of business right about now, if Trump hadn't made him Chief of Staff and humiliated him by making him babysit the likes of Hemorrosa and some of the other Apprentice cast.

So Trump takes the guy who could have done the job and makes a babysitter out of him, and takes the babysitter Keister Nielsen and puts her in charge of DHS. And what does she do? Starts running nurseries and clinics. And you wonder why Central America is migrating here?

Sidney Powell knows exactly what needs to be done to end the border crisis, and this is all well within Trump's presidential powers:

Is he doing any of these things? No. Open your eyes. Or not. QRV called. They need you to yell "triggered" and "butthurt" and "shill" at some folks, lol. Say, maybe you can meme away the border crisis. Post a picture of Kek sucking his thumb and winking.

Just the fact that the democrats will still pull the racist or sexist card for any kind of law or legislation that keeps this country safe and the constitution protected has shown how lost these politicians are.

Why?

Because the US isn't going to be made into a third world dump like the nations these people are leaving.

If they want to live in a better country, they can make their own country better.

Trump policies seem to be getting more low cost workers for Texas and Florida. As designed.

No one of sound mind can claim that Trump couldn't get a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill through Congress in two years...especially since such bills are already drafted.

Instead be busied himself with figuring out new insults and with making sure his resorts had special exemptions to bring in thousands of temp. workers of "the right color".
