Guess what - I'm a Democrat - I'm Christian and I voted for Trump. As a parent - my responsibility to my kids involves not putting them in situation where they may be harmed or worse. These people know that the US is now following the laws. They know that the children are being sequestered from the parents - it's their responsibility as parents if they want to come here to do so legally. You're not much of a role model if you're breaking the law.

Sorry but this Democrat believes in personal responsibility. I'm sick of taking care of everyone but our own. If they left want to donate money, set up their own shelters, take these people into your homes until they can settle here - so be it - get off your duffs and do it. I don't feel it's my responsibility nor do I have the money.

The thing is that the liberal politicians don't care if these kids lives are in danger en route. It's all about trying to destroy President Trump's chance of re-election.

There was just recently a gang member stopped thinking he could scoot across because he has a kid with him. Where the do you think he got THAT idea?
The MSM is lying. If you fall for their lies you will believe anything.
MSM is lying about what?

Yes there are some who may not be the parents & the children could be victims of trafficking. Then you separate the kids -- that's okay. You find the parents of the kids and send them home.

But for those families that are clearly families asking for asylum -- you don't separate them.

this isn't rocket science.

They're deported. Together. I'm good with that.

Trump doesn't give a dam about any of this. He is playing to his base and trying to get funding for his wall. You know that wall Mexico was going to pay for. That is why it has become an issue now.

No matter how man times this lie is posted, it is still a lie.

There is no "supposed to" about it.

They can apply for asylum in any nation they want. Russians have applied for asylum in the U.S. We're certainly not the next country over. That would be Finland or Belarus.

Overseas, people travel through all sorts of countries before getting to the one they apply for asylum in.

And just because a family is kept together -- it doesn't mean they are automatically granted asylum. They have to follow the procedure, and qualify as dictated by our laws.

We just don't have to be complete *******S about the whole thing.

About the kids being RIPPED from their mothers and all the BS trying to make it as though the Trump admin is heartless. They are not.

This is a horrible situation for the kids. The liberal politicians, parents and gang members have done this to them.

Asylum wouldn't be granted to individuals who can stay in their home country and apply.
Asylum is for those families that have to flee in fear.

It's not just a box on a form. It's a threat to their lives.

But yes -- follow protocol.

The criteria can be strict or tight but follow procedure, protocol and be decent human beings about it.

Except they don't exist yet (in process) so you nor I have any idea what they will actually be or who will actually be in them. Could be teens or?
Drop the hysterics, y'all are acting like the kids are being tortured, unfed,unwashed and unmonitored. I actually heard one "news" reporter claim they were "dog kennels". What a load of crap.

Good heavens, these places are NOT like the jails or gulags of the countries they left, they get treated way,way better than anywhere they came from...
