But they are not going to the check points, they are streaming over the border illegally so yes they are breaking the law.

If one is seeking asylum, one might not know where the checkpoints are.

We’re full up for now .

If these folks can provide skills we need that’s one thing .

But we’ve seen the results of what happens when just anyone can come in .

Good example is Los Angeles .

if I break the law I will be separated from my kids. I'm a U.S. Citizen. Millions of Americans are separated from their kids when they violate the law and go to jail, why would illegals get special treatment?

I wonder how the government of Mexico handles this when this happens in their country since the U.S. Media never reports it.
They would be treated harshly. No freebies.

Imagine if in America , Spanish speakers or those that spoke limited English were charged more for things ..like they charge gringos much more in Mexico ..

Meanwhile us dumb gringos offer freebies .
Free school , free healthcare , etc etc

However, an incident four years ago clarified the murky issue of the gringo tax; the higher cost of goods and services for foreigners.

The Mexican consumer protection agency, Profeco, requires all merchants to clearly display the cost of their goods, but this is Mexico where even simple traffic laws are rarely enforced. So, when unscrupulous merchants see an opportunity to make a few extra bucks from an unsuspecting Anglo, they are not deterred by any pesky regulations.

it is an harsh thing to start for the trump admin, but they have every right to enforce the border safety. after a while, people will get used to the "crying baby" stories at the border, as how they have been reacting to the other harsh reformations that trump has implemented in the past.


who would have thought it was possible for the us "crazy head" and the north korean dictator to meet and shake hands without spitting at each other ? but trump made it and successfully tamed the little rebellious fat kid in north korea via tweeting his insults and threats....



i am no fan of trump, but i am willing to give him credits for the many political breakthroughs he brought about in the past year...

Wny do you think those parents took those kids and left their communities to come here?

You realize that we didn’t actually get a real treaty or agreement from lil kim but we did give him legitimacy and a stop to our military drills, right? Meanwhile, our good buddy south korean is now making overtures to India and Russia. I’m not saying this will end badly, but it’s premature to being credit for anything good in regards to north korea.

Me too. I don't hate Trump, but I don't love him either. I'm happy that he tamed North Korea for a while, and also amazed that he ended a law with separating immigrating families that has been on the books since Clinton was President. Such law is immoral and shows how unhumanitarian the previous administrations can be. The SJW's were accusing trump that his administration created such law. Trump flip the script and showed the proof that such law has been on the books. Now the SJW's feel stupid, and now Trump takes credit for ending such immoral practice.

I’ve seen this bull about Clinton having passed a law mandating families be separated—complete crock of ****. Try going through either acts and actually finding where that’s mandated. Do you feel stupid when you pass along misinformation like this? You’re a version of the weird uncle forwarding ridiculous chain mails.

Lol. Their is information about this on the books about Clinton and immigration, but including Clinton in that was a type. I meant George Bush Jr. Much of the practice came into affect after the creation of the DHS under George Bush Jr. The separating children from parents at the border is nothing new, and has been going on for decades. The US as a whole has been separating families for decades. FDR separated Japanese American families during WW2. Separated Native American families after taming the west. Wait for it, wait for it, lets not talk about separating families during slavery!

Again, I don't hold Trump into high regard, or not a fan of Trump. I'm just happy that such inhuman law is gone.


Now let me redpill you. If this illegal immigration is an issue. My old man told me that American is the most hypocritical ape in the room. He is right. Americans talking about Russia meddling in their elections, but America meddles in plenty of elections for sovereign nations for decades. If such countries don't vote right in the eyes of the American, such nations will face political, economic or military torrent from the US. The US needs to stop destabilizing nations like this. This is what liberals, SJWs, and conservatives do not talk about. They don't talk about the destabilization, but they all want illegal immigrants to flock here. Granted the illegal immigrants should stay. No point to send them back home anymore. They are here, and let them remain here. My point is this. The US must stop destabilizing countries in Central, South America and the Caribbean by economic, political and military means, legalize drugs so that black men don't have to go to prison in large numbers, and white men don't have to be strung out on drugs. Legalizing drugs will remove money from going to cartels in Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, and thus will put such cartels out of business. On the Flip side, help improve reduce crime and drug use in black and poor white areas, allowing men to rebuild their communities, instead of going to prison, or being strung out on drugs and dying early. If America stops destabilizing nations like in Central America, the amount of illegal immigrants will reduce.
