Trumps policy would discouraged parents from sending their kids with smugglers from making a long dangerous trek if they know their kids won’t get in the US

Unlike this old fool

Their parents agreed as evidenced by the fact of far fewer them up this way when the policy was in effect. Then they were given the green light and the red carpet by the current administration. What you see in this video as the result of this policy shift is probably the NICEST part of their journey up here -- and this administration and their apologists DO. NOT. CARE. Grand-scale child abuse, rape, kidnapping, sold to drug cartels? Who cares, as long as we can import future Democrat voters!

When I click on it it's a Youtube video of the BBC report. Nothing to do with the Post at all.

Even if it was linked from the Post the BBC video report is still the BBC video report. What difference would it make where the link came from? The video is the real report.

They are accompanied in Mexico. They are not making the trip through Mexico on their own. They become unaccompanied only after they are in this country.

Biden separating children from their parents and all.

Then i'll answer it now seeing you didn't get it the first time , I was pointing out the hypocrisy of posters who slam WaPA as the poster child for everything that's wrong with MSM but have no problem with using it when the article supports whatever position they are posting about same as I said in post #21 and you questioned in #29.

I completely understood what you said the first time you said it.

And I am asking you - since I get slammed for using "right-wing" sources, and now you are slamming me for using MSM sources - what sources do you suggest I use that would meet your compliance?
