    If it's stupid its because they are selfish; if they are selfish, it's because they are stupid. :)

    I guess your reading skills are rather deficient. Try again.

    The pictures from 2014 showing kids in cages sleeping on the floor. You aren’t even aware of that?

    Of course I am aware of that; my point is to this day the Trump administration continues to pack the cages with children. Do two wrongs make a right?

    The rule you are citing was never applied, until the Trump admin. It's like a city code that forbids spitting on the sidewalk, sure it's there but just try and find a case where it was used except by an overzealous cop for harassment.

    Is that why the Federal Court has monitors to ensure compliance with the Flores Consent Decree? Try again.

    Still probably better conditions than what they ran from.

    How many adults used unaccompanied children to cross the border? If they couldn't show proof the child was theirs then they needed to be separated for the child's safety. We are learning that 500+ children are still in the detention centers because their "parents" can't be found. What nonsense. If my child was in detention I'd be doing everything I could to get my child back. Makes me wonder why these so called "parents" can't be found.

    I highly doubt it; many of them were plucked from their parents and in some cases will never see their parents again. Those children will be permanently scarred for life.

    You mean your claim without evidence? Up to you to prove it.

    And making a dangerous trip north to the US border was not traumatizing enough for the children?

    Think about what you said then think about what resources a refugee has at their disposal.

    Those that sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither. Been hearing that a lot lately, usually about wearing a mask. Jail is jail no matter how comfortable.

    I can recall PREDICTING that the extremist rightwing white racists would start denigrating and disparaging VP Harris.

    There will probably be an endless screed of this kind of BOVINE EXCREMENT because they are SCARED that she could become the POTUS.

    In essence they will do their UTMOST to drag her name through the political mud so as make her even LESS likeable than Hillary.

    That this is all based upon RACIST hatred and bigotry is a given.

    Sad!

    True, they were built during Obama to house kids that were unaccompanied by an adult to separate the boys from the girls while they were processed to be placed with Human Services.
    They were used under Trump to separate children from their parents. Indefinitely.
    Do you see the difference?



    No, that's the Bumper Sticker version.....things are deeper than what fits on a bumper...and righties hate that, an explanation is too complicated :)

    Come on, answer the question instead of attempting to evade answering it. Do two wrongs make a right? A simple yes or no will suffice.

    You used math to defend illegal immigration in an attempt to downplay the problem. I used that term to point out that it is you that lacks understanding of the "human element". I oppose all incentives that motivate people to drag children through the desert and those who support/ignore illegal immigration cannot honestly claim to have a genuine concern for the "human element".

    Those of us with a genuine concern for humans can send money to parts of the world far worse off than those south of our border.

    Very typical to point a righteous finger at others and resort to cheap insults when discussing these issues. If you discussed the actual issue, you would then have to admit that the incentives you support have consequences as well. Have you researched the consequences of human trafficking? This is not the first time lack of information was the basis for an attack.

    why don't you share with us who are less informed then you are, the consequences of human trafficking which you claim to know?
