First of all, they didn’t present Themselves at the border. They crossed illegally and they were locked up. So you lock kids up as well?

The obama effect on the entire country...


"The report details how 40 million Americans live in poverty and 18.5 million Americans live in extreme poverty. It also details how the United States has the highest rate of income inequality among Western countries and one of the lowest rates of intergenerational social mobility."

https://www.democracynow.org/2018/6/...tions_policies

Puerto Rico is included in the 40 million Americans living in poverty, but of the total, how many illegal aliens are pushing up the poverty numbers in America which resulted from 8 years of obama catch and release programs.* Illegal aliens should not continue to use children as bait and then be reflected in the overall poverty levels of the U.S. as an excuse to allow open borders.**

I just did. Illegal border crossers don’t present themselves at the border for admission. They get locked up instead.

They are locking up the kids. Just not with the parents.

You need to do your research. The vast majority of these people are from central America and are seeking asylum from the US. They are presenting themselves to boarder officials to be processed. They are not trying to sneak thru the boarder but hoping they are allowed into the country after being processed. We can debate if they should be allowed in or not but having a common set of facts is important.

Do we take away the kids when a mother is with her kids when arrested for the misdemeanor offense of shoplifting or first-time DWI?



Why should provide special accomodations for an alien that we don't provide to American citizens?

I gave the answer. We do and always have separated American parents from their American kids anytime the parent is arrested for any reason, any misdemeanor. Why should we afford aliens an exception?

He is such a liar, a fake, a phony. From his orange hair down to his bone spurs.
