I wonder why they aren't showing that paper, other than waving it around (which brought back images of Maddow waiving Trump's tax form). I went to look for it, hit CNN, NYT, etc., nothing. I did see a few mentions of 'Lafferty telling officers that they 'might' have to "hold mothers longer" and "hold children in HHR/ORR,"'. Is that supposed to be the "plans on separating migrant families" that they are talking about?

I AGREE WITH THIS POSTER 100%%%%%%%%%%%

The parents of the children are the ones guilty of child abuse and criminal activity. Dragging their kids over foreign borders in violation of the law. Their kids should be stripped from them and placed up for adoption. Bad. Parents.

How many did this happen to?
What is the full story?
Did the mother have drugs on her, or on drugs?
Did she have a weapon on her.
Had she threatened someone with their life?
Tell us the full story, not just a bit of it.

Why don't you prove they aren't being killed? You're the one disputing the statement.

Isn't education wonderful?
I wasn't talking to you

My comments were specifically for someone else.

I just don't think the wall is the right investment.
Considering how much money illegals and their offspring cost us, a wall is well worth the money.

Do you seriously think that the BP can stop every single illegal who tries to sneak in? If you do think that, think again. A few years back our daughter and son-in-law went to a BP hiring fair. The agent they talked to didn't mince words. They were told that if they were hired, they would be on the graveyard shift and be the only agent around for 70 miles. If backup was necessary, it wouldn't be coming anytime soon.

And, yes, once illegals are discovered, they all need to be deported immediately.
