    I was directly responding to YOUR thread that was titled "Seriously... this is heartwrenching. All politics aside, everybody needs to listen to this."

    Your title, your OP, and my subsequent response was directly about the tape. The girl memorized the number and the worker was preparing to call that number. I listened to the entire tape, and it didnt include the abject horror that you implied. From your description, I was at minimum expecting workers treating the kids harshly, and that is the exact opposite of what was occurring. They seemed to be doing everything in their power to assuage their fears.

    Have you never been to a daycare facility? Kids cry. Are you next going to provide tapes of the first day of kindergarten?

    So, you are back to not enforcing our laws?

    Good, so the families are returned to wherever they came from together. That's an excellent solution.

    Seeing as how most of the asylum seekers that make it here, come up through mexico where they are perfectly safe, making them not asylum seekers but economic migrants? I've got some idea. I've done quite a bit of charity work in mexico, which is where they were and where they were in no danger hence they're not really seeking asylum under its definition. You seek asylum in the first place you're safe.

    You're right ... they are economic migrants. Asylum .. as it is internationally understood and 'legislated', is the first safe port.

    The purpose of this thread was to give Trump loyalists the opportunity to set politics asside and express how they were also morally outraged. But instead, it appears to have brought out of the closet some really weird mental perversions from a few right-wingers.

    Are we talking about asylum seekers, or grantees?

    Another is to get a President and a party in power that does not condone the abuse of children.

    Which means "We are a nation that does not respect our own laws.... so why should you?"

    BTW, your Spanish is almost as horrible as your morals.

    then you want those kids to be put in prison with their parents...

    Well, maybe I guess... if they can prove they have legal custody of the kids in question, then perhaps some kinda weekend deal can be worked out once they've been processed and have proven they're just normal moes who committed a non-violent crime.

    Disney movies dubbed in Spanish now constitutes child abuse? How about putting your kid on top of train in the elements for days at a time?

    Not even close. You know exactly what it says.

    BTW, I am not the topic of this thread.

    That said, I’ll concede my Spanish is a little rusty.

    Parents who are detained with other adults. What do you want, a family suite at the Hilton? Here’s news: you break the law, there are consequences.

    Oh... you claim to have numbers.... show them, show them...

    In any case, they will be approved if they have not lied about being persecuted in their country. Until a judge renders a verdict, they are presumed innocent. Therefore, this is their home unless the immigration judge rules otherwise.

    Who went to prison for his crimes. Read: Rule of law. Bet he was separated from his children.

    I’m going to really enjoy listening to you try to explain this one.

    The hypocrisy by the right to equate the un-equatable is stomach-turning. You couldn't care less in either case, so no need to waste our time explaining the differences to you.

    You don’t have to explain anything. 2014 was Obama’s watch. He could have dipped a kitten in kerosene and burned it to a crisp on Face the Nation and you’d not say “boo.”

    Are you serious? They go to a kindergarten and cry until they learn that they will see their parents that very same day. Few of these kids do!

    BTW, the rest of your message is nonsense. The children were separated from their dad. What is heart-wrenching is that she needed to memorize a phone number because they fear being taken away. Above everything else, their dad took all the precautions to make sure that the children would be safe... no matter what happened to him. This is the type of sad situation that a heartless Trump loyalist would never be moved by.
