Great, let's lock up those employers too. Hell, deport those employers to Mexico, Honduras and Ecuador just for good measure.

And when you consider the amount in education, food stamps, health care, welfare, working "under the table" and not paying taxes etc...


The wall is chump change and pretty much a one time expense where what we've been doing for forty years or more is an ongoing and unending expense because there are always more coming.

Of course it is, anyone stupid enough to claim that illegal immigration is a net positive for our nation (even when putting crime aside) isn't being honest with themselves.

We could just herd them across the border and let the Mexicans deal with them.

Illegally crossing the border isn't seeking political asylum, it's breaking the law. People seeking political asylum do it AT THE BORDER, before entering the country, not 3 years later after being caught by ICE.

Trump is creating WWII Japanese internment camps for these children. The same people opposing abortion "because of the children" are completely fine with what Trump is doing here. Evangelicals show themselves to be far more political than religious. There will be movies made about what Trump has done to these kids - count on it.
No he isn't. Why do liberals have such an aversion to the truth? It's pathological how the left simply can't be honest.

Of course hollyweird liberals will make movies about anything Trump has done, that doesn't make it fact. I'm sure you're just dying for Michael Moore to make another fantasy movie for liberals to swoon over.

Funny how liberal hypocrites didn't care when Obama was putting kids in WWII Japanese internment camps.

If you are seeking political asylum, why do you need to sneak in to do so?

These families are being treated the same whether entering illegally or applying for asylum at a checkpoint.

What about the Canadian border??? How about we secure the entire country while we’re at it.

Let’s exhibit the same sense of urgency with regard to the convieniently overlooked Canadian border too, eh?
