I'm not sure about your numbers, but if minors who are unaccompanied are covered under the Flores settlement. And if 2,000 children were forcibly taken from their parents I would not call that a false narrative.
It’s currently worth $400 million to Southwest Key. Imagine what the totals are when all of them are totaled.

Look and read please

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...umn/711086002/

what do you think has been happening over the years when they catch illegals with children?

do you honestly think all criminals do not have children?

do you have any idea how much this is costing us?

How could they even be Christians In Name Only if they don't know who Christ is?

Or what He taught?

The man who told the parable of the Good Samaritan would be horrified to see people treat their neighbors this way.

The man who threw the money changers out of the temple would wreck havoc on this bunch of blood suckers.

The man who said about children, "such is the kingdom of heaven."

...

I don't know who they are following, but it's definitely not Christ.

If Americans are so enthusiastic about enforcing the law, why is Trump not arresting employers? Employing illegals is also against the law.

IDK what previous POTUS did, but i do know Obama went after auditing I9s at businesses.

Jailing employers would be a cheaper and way faster way to stop people from coming. Why come if there are no jobs?

Ya know, the kid's response depends on the conditions that a child has experienced, not another person's limited expectations.

80% evidently are unaccompanied minors.


and seriously I get wanting to do right by the kids, but where the heck is the outrage that ought to be directed at parents sending their kids? Where is the outrage directed at families that decide to just illegally cross into another country?


because there should be a heck of a lot of it.

They’ve managed to justify his lies since before he was elected, why would they stop now?

What I find most ironic is that by signing this EO, the president has now completely disregarded whatever law they keep claiming the administration was following.

While that was apparently an impeachable offense during the Obama administration, they’ll just shrug now.

Because Trump knows best, or something.

Liberal aren't crying. They do not care about these children

The don't care. Really, they don't.

They just hate President Trump and the Americans who voted for him.

Many despise America. Sad but true.

The exact same things have been happening at the border for years.

The liberals are about politicizing everything unless it is one of their politicians in office.

Helk, they will politicize killing unborn babies if it gets them what they want. They don't really give a crap about the mothers. They just use this excuse to appear compassionate, which they are not.
They want less people. They want to control those that remain.

Informed Americans won't fall for their deceptions.

yup, totally agree with this....if you cut off the head, the rest of the body will die...meaning, they won't have anything to come here for.

However, another point, American workers want top pays....they want to raise the minimum wage, but when they do that, all other prices are effected and go up.

Hence, restaurant prices will go up, everything goes up, its a trickle down effect.

Minimum wage jobs used to be for kids....when they turned 13 years old, parents made them get jobs...it prepared them for the real world, and that is why kids were so much more mature, then....

Kids worked in restaurants, right along with our handicapped....doing the dishes...now it's all illegals, same with pizza shops, Italian Restaurants....Gosh, I'm going back 30- 40 years, they have been coming over here illegally and even worked in country clubs...rich people hired them to be nannys, cleaning women, etc.

this has been going on for a very long time, and we've only got ourselves to blame. It's got to change.

Trump says our immigration laws are bad....well, then, lets revisit them and revise them....but if this continues, we will go broke, we cannot keep paying for all these people and help our own, and tent cities, are a thing of the future if this continues...along with crime and drugs....

During the Obama administration, we were told repeatedly that signing an EO to override a law was illegal.
It must follow then, if this policy was actually law, Trump just broke the law by signing an EO to override it.
