    Well the distinction they are trying to make now is that is not inhumane to separate families if the are less than 1000 miles separate but it is if that separation is more than 1000 miles.

    So much for family values that the Republican keep propagandizing about.

    Now we really see what they thing of families and especially children. Trump's family lives in unimaginable luxury-in literally gold plated rooms while each member has unlimited access to education, medical care, and immunity against the law. This is an old, old story.

    In America, some 22% of children live in proverty and about 50% of Americans could not afford a $400 emergency. Is this a foundation for a strong nation and families?

    Children don't have the right to seek asylum.

    He created the zero-tolerance policy. Sessions even had a press conference announcing the policy that was covered by Fox.

    Get your head out of your ass.

    Since there's a general agreement out there that liberals are synonymous with "leftist," then I'd like any qualifier you can offer to make a distinction between them--if possible.

    Being concerned about alar in your apples is not quite the same thing as being on MS-13's immediate death list in San Salvador,

    It will be interesting to see what kind of impact this has.

    Logically, none of this makes sense. It is an older law that is now enforced, then the administration tried to bring about emergency action when it was obvious the American people did not like the law on the books.

    Then the Democrats shot down the idea and did not replace it with anything new, logically, there is nothing Trump can really do and if you talk to Liberals they will agree.

    But, they will immediately say "But it is SERIOUSLY disgusting" which is also true, albeit arguing towards the emotional side of people instead of the logical side.

    The emotional side of arguments has been a HUGE victory area for the Democratic Party for a long time now. But in these different times, I am not so sure that will happen.

    It will be interesting to see if people vote on an emotional issue vs that of a logical issue in the coming mid terms.

    I disagree with this.

    Progressives = Leftists

    Liberals are kinda like the Libertarian people of the Left now.

    Hey Alex, I don't really care who is on MS 13's death list in El Salvador as long as it stays there.

    Hey QLB, we know you're a big mean tough conservative who doesn't care about whole families being murdered so their 12 year old daughter can be put in a brothel. We also know what candidates you and your ilk will likely support in November

    Apparently zero tolerance for compassion.

    Do you need me to post a link to Fox News covering the announcement of Trump's zero-tolerance policy, or will you now accept that he did in fact create that policy?

    I can't worry about the whole world much less pay for them. Somehow you do. How many are you going to take in Alex? I'll answer for you. None. Marks you as a hypocrite.

    I never said he did. I responded to your post when you said Trump didn't create anything.

    That is false. Trump created the zero-tolerance policy. Sessions announced it. Fox covered it.

Even funnier was when Obama separated children...or our justice system....you guys sat there in lefty silence. What hypocrites. Thats on top of being traitors.

    You said Trump didn't create anything.

    I just proved you wrong. Trump created the zero-tolerance policy that caused the crisis. Then reversed course when the heat got too much for him.

    Gee separating children from their parents is evil? Someone better tell the Child Protective Services. At any time in this country there are about half a million children who have been removed from their parents and placed in Foster Homes. The average length of separation is two years and the average stay in each home is six months.

    Of course, CPS could have left them with their drug addicted or abusive alcoholic parents. Is that preferable? Or should they be accommodated for in a jail cell with their felon parent. Or should a felon get a pass because they have kids?

    How is this any different than what is going on at the border?

    At least I'm willing to let refugees from a humanitarian crisis on our own southern border into the country without taking their children away. What are these conservatives who did that? a bunch of pedophiles?

    I'd look up the definition of a pedophile. How many are you going to take in Alex? Spend your own money, not mine.

    LOL - Are you trying to beat the concept of personal responsibility into a prog's head? :lol:

    The Cult of Fiasco doesn't do personal responsibility, man. That's what being a collectivist is all about...

    One major difference I see right off is that CPS usually at least writes down whose children are whose, where who is going, stuff like that. They're saying they're going to need DNA testing to straighten things out now. That's fracking ridiculous.
