Many, if not most Democrats, are evil through and through.

“The state’s attorney general, Kamala Harris, said, ‘a child going without education is tantamount to a crime,’and had taken steps to treat it as such: In 2011 she implemented new measures that could result in fines of up to $2,500 or a year in jail for parents of truant kids.”

I don’t care much what happens to any illegals caught entering the country as long as they are deported in a timely manner.

Captain Kip,

I want to use this statement you made: “This policy ... and was endorsed by First Lady Laura Bush when her husband was president.”

However, I need a source to cite for this part of it: “was endorsed by First Lady Laura Bush....”

Thanks,
G-F

“Maybe they’ll raise our taxes for them too!”

That is already done.
“Illegal immigration costs our country more than $113 billion a year.”

No kidding. There were liberals that celebrated the acquittal of Kate Steinle’s murderer.These people are ghouls that celebrate the worse in life and only use children as props for their agenda.

[subterfuge]

It’s all a distraction, been going on for years.

Why didn’t Obummer CHANGE the rules if they were so bad?????

[buffyt]

Amen to that!

The Norht Korea summit went very well. (It’s very early yet, but it went well.) The IG report, as much as he tried to sugar coat it, is a disaster for the Dhimmicraps. So they need this phony story because they weren’t getting any from Stormy Daniels.

But then again, there are no verses which teach that countries have to open their border to anybody who comes knocking...no kiddin' - someday somebody might explain why people coming from as far south as Nicaragua and Honduras, and maybe even farther, get to journey completely through other countries including Mexico and are finally given "asylum" in the USA - Mexico is a hellhole in some regions, but in most areas it is peaceful and serene - anyone really trying to escape violence and danger in his own country could surely find safety in any number of places before coming here - there's not reason we have to take them all - a simple law saying no one seeking asylum whose country of citizenship is farther away than the country next to us will be admitted should end the problem......

“Mr. Trump has spent the majority of his presidency forcing people and departments to follow existing laws.”

I agree with that statement.

The idea that law-breaking parents are never separated from their kids flies in the face of reality. When Americans commit crimes in the United States, they are arrested, tried, and if found guilty, convicted. If they are parents, they are separated from their kids due into incarceration. During the trial process, if they cannot afford bail or are not given the option, then they are separated from their kids as well. In more severe cases, they lose custody of their children even after they completed their sentence.

Let's get real on this, shall we? These people are charged with a misdemeanor. If they were Americans then they would have been released on bail, probably on their own recognizance. If the penalty for their crime was a fine of between $50 and $250, as with illegal immigration, then they wouldn't be go to jail at all. And even if they did, their kids would go to foster care or family member and not a detention center.

There are any number of valid reasons for the government taking the actions that they are. But comparing it to what Americans would face under similar circumstances is flat idiotic.

[Yaelle]

Good tweet.

Who wants children in detention centers?

[Dante3]

Great point.

I stopped watching FOX because I got sick of hearing the babble about illegal alien families.

What about our families broken by divorce and many other factors? The broken families in the ghettos?

[Kickass Conservative]

Every American Child killed by an Illegal Invader is separated from their Parents FOREVER.

The Parents of those Dead American Children did not commit a Crime by crossing a Sovereign Border knowing full well what they are doing is Unlawful.

The only Crime was committed against them, their Dead Children and the agony the Family endures every second of their lives.

[Lurking Libertarian]

Of course, there’s no verse that states “separate children from their parents.” But then again, there are no verses which teach that countries have to open their border to anybody who comes knocking.

Exodus 22:21 ("Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt."); Exodus 23:9 ("Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt."); Leviticus 19:34-35 ("The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.").

Paul Manafort was sent to prison last week, cruelly separating him from his two daughters. Where is the outrage?

Aren't families separated by all the daily murders in Chicago?
