I hope and pray this is sarcasm.

Where or when did President Trump say that? i suspect he did not.

Too bad the democrats don't care about the homeless Americans in this country along with their children especially in places like San. Francisco with all the tent cities.

Hypocrites!

Do you think those other 10k only got here on trumps watch? Where was the OUTRAGE THEN? Oh, that's right, it was on OBAMAS watch, so it's all good...








Or are you saying that the left did not know about those during that time, and now just finding out, that would be kinda stupid, yes?

Trump is separating 48 kids a day who are for the most part entering the US with their mother.
And even if Obama had done the exact same thing as Trump, which he did not, that is no excuse for Trump to do the wrong thing. Did these posters not hear their mother growing up when she said, "If Sally/Joe jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"

Yes, it's happening now under Trump, but it's been happening for the past 10 years under Bush and Obama. Back then nobody cared. Now that Trump is in office, we're suddenly supposed to have a sense of urgency to care?


Also, while it sucks that those people are escaping gangs and whatnot to live better lives, they still have to come here legally and just do it the right way. The parents are basically putting their own kids through that instead of just obeying the laws.


This whole thing is a mess, but the thing that ticks me off the most is the media exploiting this to get a few more clicks. There's literally a video on CNN right now of a kid who's crying and the CNN twitter is like "CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO OF SOME KID CRYING FROM BEING SEPERATED FROM HIS PARENTS!" It's disgusting.


I hope Trump fixes this mess but again, it's been happening for years now and nobody cared.
Nope.

I don't understand why our globalist-minded international law-loving Lefty-Progs are not screaming at Mexico.

International law requires that people seeking asylum do so in the first country they reach where they are safe from whatever peril they are running.

Why aren't these people coming from Central and South America applying for asylum in Mexico?

DHS secretary gets mercilessly grilled over family-separation policy - Business Insider

But, the left cares not about that....
I can't believe a word she says. This administration clearly states they will separate children from parents and she denies that this policy exists.

You can choose to believe what you want but at some point when we have an administration that:

- says in 2017 that separating children from parents could be used as a deterrent
- Sessions makes an official policy announcement that results in parents/children being seperated.
- Trump blames the Democrat for parents being seperated from children but he could stop it immediately.
- then has their DHS secretary say they aren't separating children from parents.

HANG ON HERE....what is it kids -- They make sure they release every statement in the book, stand by all of them and we can't believe any of them.

More Kool-Aid anyone?
