And, millions more would not be! We are a nation deeply divided and we have all dug in. I see no end in sight, especially as the left continues it's assault.

Tell me please-what other adult criminals get to have their children locked up with them when they are incarcerated? Why do you care about foreign criminals, and not American citizens locked up behind bars that are separated from their children?

I believe the people commenting here, like usual, have no idea what they are arguing, because they have gotten their news from the mainstream media. They literally do not understand what they're arguing and have not thought about the situation, but simply rely on what they're told to think. Unfortunately, even after reading everything here, they will still not even consider reaching out and trying to educate themselves.

And when they take me....wait for it......I won't get to take my children with me either. Because I broke the law, and in the United States we get punished for that, and our prisons aren't made to house criminals and their love ones. So yes, people illegally crossing our borders are being detained, and their children are being removed to a safe location while the parents situation is sorted out. Just as it should be, and would be, if it were me in their shoes. So personally, I could care less what the US Conference of Catholic Bishops or the Southern Baptists have to say about it. At some point you have to insist that the laws governing this country be applied to those who are breaking them.

I'm sorry, but I'm really getting tired of this narrative. It's simply the law. They are breaking it, and they are being held to account for their actions. I tell you what would really be funny. The headlines I'd read if instead of taking the children away from the parents, they were actually being housed in jails and detention centers with the parents. Can you imagine!!!! "TRUMP PUTS LITTLE KIDS IN JAIL!" "Republicans Interning Small Children In Detention Centers!" Please everyone, get a grip and realize these people you are so up in arms about are breaking the law, and they are being treated just like you would if you broke the law. You would not get to keep your kids if you broke the law and went to jail. Why do you think these people should receive different treatment than you, an actual citizen, would receive?
What laws did the U.S break in meddling in latin american politics? People are coming from totalitarian societies that the U.S. supported. What right did we have? Because we feared a communist country in our hemisphere?

Its great you are tired of victims of political oppression showing up on our doorsteps. Are you tired of our hand in that political oppression?

Nice diversion from the point. But, I'll go with it and we'll see if you will forthrightly reply. A few questions:
1 - Where were you, John Legend and all the knee-jerk hystericals when this was happening in the last administration? Were you speaking up and protesting it?
2 - The parents chose to break the law and create the negative circumstances. Why aren't you holding them accountable for putting their families in this position?
3 - Please describe exactly the special rights you think law-breaking, non-citizens should have at the expense of American taxpayers?

Agreed. They will continue their constant assault; it's what they do, it is their motivation and where they draw purpose and energy -- in tearing people down, insulting them, attacking them, destroying the property of others.

Simply, destruction.

That's what the end result is when so many people have such self-hatred. It's a real and well-known problem.

I do not see it at all. I see the liberals trying to tear him down. If you watch him speak, there is just him telling us what he wants for us. I think you are brainwashed.

Do you not see that I was referring to a large group of people and you referred to 1?
That's called apples and green beans.

You also have failed to note that Trump punches back at those who attack him. Show me 5 times he's attacked individuals, unprovoked. You can't.

Did you have a problem with our last President making disparaging about Americans who didn't vote for him? Did that bother you? How about the Dem candidate in 2016 calling millions of Americans deplorable? The two of them are the most smug, condescending politicians in recent memory.

Wake up, Natalie.

The left got so used to just being able to say and do whatever they wanted, now that Trump pushes back, they consider it as an 'attack'. They have also never been taught that their actions have consequences.
