Just a heads up to any liberals who may be thinking of going to Mexico to protest politically, don't. Under Mexico's constitution non citizens have no right to protest anything political. You can be arrested and or deported for doing so. Article 9

I know a lot of you went to the Cobra Kai School of Human Decency, and believe mercy is for the weak (it sure as hell seems that way anyway), but it really isn't a bad thing. Deliberately inflicting harm on children to manipulate parents is despicable. But you all keep doing just that so you can look tough on immigration. But you're not tough. You're weak.

but we ARE talking about people that are in fact breaking our laws by entering thing country illegally. and sorry but that means jail time for the adults while their case is being reviewed. the children are kept out of jail though by putting them with temporary foster families, which is what should be done.



and sorry if i dont have a bleeding heart like you do for every down on their luck illegal, i have dealt with far too many people who claim to be down on their luck due to circumstances beyond their control, only to find out later that they are in their situation because of their own actions.



go work with the homeless for a few months, and just listen to them when they think your attention is elsewhere, and listen to the things they say to other homeless people. for instance a couple of guys complaining about not being able to find a welding job here that paid more than $15 an hour when they had a good job back in michigan that paid $25 an hour, but they CHOSE to give that up to come out here, and they refuse to take a job for less than $25 an hour here.


its the same with illegals, they make claims that sound like they are being abused in their own countries, and that they are just looking for a better life, and some very likely are, but they also know that people like you are going to open up your bleeding heart, and try to give them everything they want, even though they are not qualified and dont really want to work for it here. and if you were to truly listen to what they are saying, you would find they are not really abused in their own country, they are just playing on your emotions.

The Mayans, the native people of Guatemala, are executed just for being Mayan. It is estimated that the government has killed at least 100,000. Mexicans don't like Guatemalans. That is why, if they are lucky enough to make it alive through Mexico, they come here.

the children taken at the border are put into temporary foster homes while the parents cases are reviewed. but understand that the parents are the ones that broke our laws coming here illegally.


i will also note that the obama administration DID THE VERY SAME THING AS WELL. where were you then? praising obama for dealing harshly with illegals?
You are really going off on a tangent. This is NOT about people who are running over the border in the desert. It is about people who have broken no laws because they have presented themselves at the border asking for asylum. It is not illegal to ask for asylum. The Obama administration did NOT DO THE SAME THING. In fact, they kept families together while they were awaiting their court date for judgement on their claim of asylum. If the judge denied it, they were shipped back home.

Are you able understand that there is a difference between those who ask for legal asylum and those who violate laws by over staying visas or who run over the border at night? All of your comparisons are completely without merit.

It's very simple.

Mexico is addicted to the US dollar that their citizens wire back when in the US.

Mexico, please take note and improve your country. Or suffer the continued decline of your nation and people. It is solely up to the citizens of each nation to make their country as great or as miserable as they desire.
It is not Mexicans seeking asylum; they are from Central America. Read the news please.

this is about people who come here ILLEGALLY and try to cross our borders ILLEGALLY. what part of that do you not understand? as for those asking for asylum, they too get detained to check out their story, and their background. do you really want young children tossed into jail with their parents? is that really a proper setting for young children? or would you rather those children be put in temporary foster care while their parents stories are being checked out?
