The little girl crying Who crossed here illegally and broke our laws wasn't separated from her mother at all. The mother is right next to her being searched. At no point was the kid abandon. And this is the Liberals poster child for awful Trump that we now see on Time Magazine. Pathetic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patweisers44 697 Posted June 22, 2018 I want the problem of illegals solved as much as anyone, it costs US taxpayers over 100 Billion dollars annually. All that being said, can we admit that the policy was at least a tactical error on the administrations part? You take a little blowback on it and you move on to the next potential solution.

GuardBum 73 Posted June 22, 2018 The whole scenario I think is Trump doing Trump. He sees something and exploits it. There is a flaw in an existing policy, and to draw attention to it he used it to demonstrate it. If it causes some heartache, he's willing to hurt people's feelings to do that. Right or wrong.

Just because Obama never enforced laws doesn't mean it wasn't there. Just because you're okay with skirting laws or ones you don't like doesn't mean you care more.

Heck keep them together. Keep them together as you send them back to where they came from until they come here the correct way. Yep he's in different. That's why he signed an executive order And is pushing for bills to come to his desk to fix it.

RLLD 3,455 Posted June 22, 2018 Tactical error, I suspect they likely saw this as a deterrent measure, something to intimidate people crossing illegally. Poorly conceived decision that did not account for the weakened state of society. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is we don't have a very good system in place right now to help with this. People are being turned away and being told they have to wait months. I'm not sure some of these families feel they can wait that long so they go to extreme measures. I couldn't imagine being in their situation that I was that desperate.

Sure made it great for people that like to run to the emergency room when they have a cold I suppose. It did more than that. The practice of not allowing someone with a "pre existing condition" to obtain coverage for that condition was made illegal. Children being able to stay on parents insurance until 26 was another huge positive step. It also added more things that insurers had to cover. I just want the Gov to build on that. I dont get why it's so difficult. Or at least keep the positives of the ACA in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOD01 185 Posted June 22, 2018 at the lefty trainwreck. They didn't even do research to see if the child was crying because of being separated. Sure the picture is simply a symbol but at least attempt to get something right. All they did was use the 1st picture they found of a child crying while looking up. What a bunch of losers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd rather they vet the people (including merit based) than speed up the process to our country's detriment. I view it as looking out for the actual citizens of this country BEFORE trying to look out for immigrants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
