Trump’s Immigration Policies Are Actually Pretty Popular

[Jack]

The problem is no good solution exists.

Flores dictates that the government can’t hold kids longer than 20 days and it takes a lot longer for their parents to be processed. So unless they do catch and release kids are going to be separated from their parents.

Basically, the choice is separating kids or having what amounts to open borders. It’s worth pointing out that neither side of the argument is illegitimate.

And it gets worse. Once word gets out that immigrants can skirt our laws simply by showing up at the border with their kid [or ANY kid] it becomes a recipe for disaster. What irks me about the way the media portrays the issue is they totally ignore the perils these kids face on their trek through Mexico. One can only imagine the horrors some of them face. And by being lax with our own laws the government is enticing them to make the trip.

That’s as bad or worse than separating families.

But if we’d build the damn wall, much of this problem would be alleviated.

It's pretty simple. You keep the families together. If you deport them, deport them as a 'family unit', if you accept them, accept them as a 'family unit'.
Republican Congress.
Republican President.

I bet even 'Legina' could draft a Bill saying the above.

The problem is it isn’t that big a problem. Illegal immigration is a fraction of what it was in 2000.

What it really is, is an issue thatba cynical politician is using to manipulate the fears and resentments of ignorant rubes. Trump should be called “The Rube Master.”.

you could end the manipulation by agreeing to an immigration policy......

Build the wall so we don’t have to house them indefinitely.

It would pay for itself in ten years.

Would YOU agree to a Policy of keeping families together?

It doesn't mater what the people want.
The Freedom caucus is a joke-why would anyone legalize DACA yet not give a path to citizenship?

The #neverTrumps in the Senate won't touch anything.
Trump has a mess to deal with and Congress once again cannot do anything

Cynicism lol?

Like posting a fake picture on the cover of Time magazine?

but but but...that makes too much sense!

That's a different issue. The SOLE issue that is stirring up controversy is 'separating families'. How hard is it to figure out that is not in the best interest of ANYBODY?

Must suck to be such a loser that you view middle class as elitist. LOL

Hey work hard and get an education. It’s not easy but it’s hardly elite to earn middle class status. Even someone like you can do it if you really try.

You view yourself as an elitist.

Just as it’s the lower classes who fear they will have to compete with them for jobs. I personally don’t care if it’s an illegal immigrant or a low end of the social order redneck who serves me at McD’s as long as they get the order right and McD’s has so dumbed down even an illegal immigrant or a working class Republican can’t fuck it up.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

yes Jack......parents and children should be reunited south of the wall.......

Clinton Law requires that children not be held for more than 20 days.

It’s not in anybody’s interest that immigrant parents would force their kids to try and get here in the first place.

How about we put a stop to that? Sounds like we need wall on the southern border.

 

[Jack]

Is that like the Ten Commandments and written in stone? Or can it be changed? How fucking hard is it???

Tell it to the obstructionist Democrats.

Congress has refused to change it under 4 different presidents.

The 'Wall' isn't the pressing PROBLEM right now, ... separating families is. YOU sound like you want to use the 'Wall' as a 'political tool'. If anyone is interested in NOT separating families, it seems easy enough to do.

You sound like the typical Red Team/Blue Team partisan hack that can't get anything done. It's ALWAYS the 'other side' that are Obstructionists.

lame stream media........

bullshit, thats the very reason why he would do it

Well, Trump's supporters are actually pretty scummy, aren't they?

Other than Grind no. Trumps not the only populist to come down the pike.

You make it sound so easy lol.

Even the Great Obama stubbed his toe on this issue. You have to pick between deporting families without due process or detaining them—for who knows how long, till they can be processed. In the meantime, they need housed, fed, medical care [is the wall starting to sound cheaper yet lol?].

Or just say F-it, and turn them loose in the country and cross your fingers that they will show up for their hearing.

We can only go by what we read. Outside 'israel'. the Philipines and Burma they sound the nearest to Hitlerism that there is nowadays.
