Racism knows no bounds here. Comparing Hispanics to terrorists. Talk about identity politics.

??????? I don't get your reasoning.

There is no provision that makes families more likely to be allowed to seek asylum based on the 'kids'.

The kids don't facilitate or protect so why would you think they are using them as shields.

These are families, they want to come and live here because their lives are hell holes. They may not have the full resources to apply for jobs from their three bedroom bungalow with internet, tv and a lovely garden.

So they travel for days and days, big risk for hopefully big gains. A normal life.

Now I'm not advocating that the US govt. let all of them in...but we have to be real about the majority of these people and their purpose.

Or maybe they are poor desperate people who simply want to bring their families with them when they are seeking a better life, just as you or most anyone else would do. Not to mention most people do not have anyone to just leave their children with when they flee for their lives in strife-ridden violent countries.

Firstly, it's 100% the parents fault. THEY are the ones knowingly and willingly putting their children in harm. Don't want to be separated, keep the **** out of our country. You're not welcome here.



Secondly, we separate American citizens from their children all the freaking time. It's called PRISON.



Libs twisting the narrative just makes them look like drama queens. This whole line of "reasoning" just makes them look like fools, even more than usual.

then come here legally!!! I challenge you to go to any other country and try to live there illegally. Even the Bahamas has a policy...at the time I wanted to move there, I would have had to pay 10,000.00 to become a citizen. Right or wrong it was their law. And that's fine, but we expect them to become an American citizen, it should be a right and a Privilege to do so. Keep on slapping those in the face, who have done so, with this kind of irrational thinking.

When did breaking the law become a trend and no one being held accountable for doing so.

Being separated from your children in this case is a choice. It is the “parents” who are at fault. Don’t invade another country illegally. Make that choice, and you will not be separated from your kids.

It's so simple. Why do simple minded liberals lack such basic comprehension?

Remains to be seen who will end up looking like fools.

However, it is strikingly clear who are the evil ones.

I see. Having your children taken from you is a ''slap in the face''.

Sig heil.

I actually posted a separate forum, but it was deleted. I guess it was maybe trying to silence me.

How come there is no outcry when American citizens that are arrested are separated from their families?

All I see on the news is that these people are leaving Honduras or EL Salvador out of fear for their lives. Can anyone tell me why they can't seek asylum in Mexico, or any of the other countries in Central/South America. Regardless of the administrations enforcement of existing laws it seems that the one thing he is trying to force is for those elected to congress to sit down and address the immigration issue.

I think all these groups promoting coming to the USA are playing chess with people lives as they try to promote their position.
