Exactly. A lot of these women and children are physically and sexually assaulted along the way and by the same people in their caravans. Truly a sad situation.

Says a person that has no clue what their living conditions were.

It's fascinating because in one breath folks will talk about the hell hole that is Central American and then the next they will condem families who risk their lives because they think they will have a better chance of surviving the 2,000 mile trek.

Statistically the type of folks being stopped for asylum and refugee status has been women, children and families.

If you think those people make their decision lightly - -you haven't been listening.

Make laws easier to deport, not the status quo of tying the court system for years and them not showing up and not knowing where they are at.



If not, then lets make Central America our territory and take full responsibility then.

Congress should fix this right now. But Democrats want to just blame Trump and refuse to do their duty.
Public outcry? If there was a real concern about child trafficking, then I would hope that Trump would do what was right, and not worry about public outcry. Ripping those kids away from their parents was despicable. There’s no other word for it.

If any of these illegal alien supporters had a family member or a friend murdered by an illegal, they would be whistling a different tune. Since they don't it's easy for them to sit around and call others "racists" for not embracing a flood of illegal aliens, drugs, and human trafficking.

If any of these anti-immigrants had a family member or a friends who was one, they would be whistling a different tune. Since they don't it's easy for them to sit around and call others "murderers" because one of them murdered someone while ignoring all the murders that happen every day. Embracing a anti-immigrant, racist, and hateful view based on painting millions of people for the actions of a few.

Replace "anti-immigrant" with "gun owner" and what do you get? Lol!

But just to be clear, people are against illegal immigration, not immigration in general, we all should be. Every illegal can't be an asylum seeker, and even further, only like 20% of those that apply for asylum actually qualify.

So there goes that narrative.

Gee, I didn't know that being anti-"illegal" immigration (not anti-immigrant) is a racist, hateful view. The things you learn..... Doesn't matter if some or many are murderers or rapists they have no right to be in this country and that's the bottom line and no one has said they all are either. If they weren't here those crimes wouldn't have happened. Who the hell is ignoring our own domestic criminals? I swear the idiotic remarks that come out of the mouths of these pro-illegals is simply mind boggling.

They always send a nice farewell- how long you been with CBP?? There will never be a nasty BYE! Smoking mirrors my friend. Right now in FL Rubio and FL atty gen went to Chrome to check on the children - they were denied access. So far the consensus is that it will take 2 yrs to unite the kids with the parents.
