They sure do seem to pay a lot of attention to the celebrities who they often say "who cares what they say".

Also, the place where these kids are being held is an abandoned Walmart with cages.

How is that not a prison?
This.


It boggles the mind that our government wouldn’t just send the families coming across our borders illegally back to their country of origins. It makes no sense to separate them at all. Just send them away together. It cruel and heartless to separate all these families and honestly, this administration knows that and just don’t care.

No, Legend along with the rest of protesters, loony liberals, and the media should understand what the law is, and that their demigod Obama did exactly the same thing.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and disrespecting the law (and history) makes you look like a fool.

It’s a counter balance to the TDS. If you let the TDS run rampant here, it’s not as fun

Where was it stated "let them all in" no one has conflated the Asylum seeking conventions agreed to by all civilized countries as "open borders" to all and sundry. That's the kind of hyperbole used by the fearful to over emotively stymie rational debate.

When it is determined those seeking Asylum have a legitimate claim, they are afforded relief. When it is determined they do not, they are denied and sent back whence they came. That is the legitimate process and perusing your own government figures would show it as not being as universally lenient as you suggest.

Oh Legend can freely speak his mind and I can call him a filthy pig. Still doesn't need to be a thread, nor does half the crap the other side posts either.

No, it has to be said repeatedly because you don't even recognize or take responsibility for your own hypocrisy.
-- Legend, DeNiro, millions of others do not remotely live what they claim to be. That = FRAUDS.
-- I suggested they go live elsewhere b/c I know that millions of us that don't LIVE to FIGHT or look for a boogeyman around ever corner would live in greater peace and more prosperity. I also know that you all, in your "utopian paradise", would tear each other apart given the need to blame others as a way of lessening the intense self-loathing.
-- How about Red Zin, who won't answer the questions I posed in Post #26? What does that indicate about sincerity?

Were you bothered about it during the last administration? Oh, or did the lame media not cover it very much so people weren't aware? Do you think they should have done their jobs then? Do you grasp their bias?

Why do the court jesters that we pay for mindless entertainment think that we care about their political opinion?
