You're lying, and you're backing a lie, and continue to back it, regardless of how many people call you out on it and post proof that it was a lie.

here's the fact check again.

Trump wasn't standing in front of a crying child...

And the picture/soundtrack of the crying and the child was never "separated" from their parent.

That's basically the gist of proving why you are wrong and why you are struggling here.
I'm sorry, but I haven't seen a photo with Trump standing in front of a crying child. I never heard some ridiculous soundtrack. And that's not what you referenced when you claimed the PHOTO was a lie.

Like it or not, Trump is a narcissistic bully who likes to treat human beings badly! He sucks as a person, and I’ll be glad when he’s gone!

then clearly you weren't paying attention to anything.

btw ...yes a photo "exists"...that's about the only argument that you can make ...so I guess in that sense it isn't a "lie"

but what the picture represented was a lie.

Feigning ignorance isn't cute either.

There are many conservatives who don't think our courts are fair and just, but think they are tilted with a liberal bias. We are going through a period where conservatives are addressing what they perceive as the bias against them. Just as conservatives are airing their dissatisfaction with the fourth estate. The pendulum will swing the other way in a decade or so. That's part of the balancing act that gives us this stability. When people feel disenfranchised, when they feel that their voices are silenced, then you are on the path to instability. And that's one of the things that defines third-world countries. Large portions of their populations aren't represented in the government, don't have a voice in how their nations function, don't have any power. And when the corruption gets so bad, when their nation abuses them, they flee, in search of a better world for themselves and their families.

There is a disconnect between the long term solution of building a viable nation and the short term solution of solving one family's immediate problems. Unless you intend to just redistribute the population of Central America into the US you have to fix those sh#thole countries. That's a complex issue but I'll tell you what will NOT work. Taking the best people out of those countries will not make those countries better.

Things can’t be that bad if you’ve got 6000 dollars lying around for a coyote.

What percentage of Latin America should we resettle each year until you believe we have "done enough?"

And then, once we have resettled Latin America, how do we turn a blind eye to all the desperate people from Africa that we should resettle? You know that Africa's population is set to explode in the next few decades, with no sign that their economies will be able to keep up.


How much of your way of life are you willing to give up? More importantly, why do you think it's your place to decide that your fellow citizens should sacrifice our hard-fought way of life in order to resettle the world's desperate populations during a time when our resources, land and environment is undergoing constant and increased stress?



Obviously (I hope) you see there must be a limit. Some people say we're at that limit. I'd suggest there's more evidence we're AT a limit than evidence that we can continue to import poverty AND sustain our ambitions for social welfare and equal opportunity.

Respect that.
