Ah, whataboutery. The last refuge of the guilty.

Trump is using the law as a tool to get action on immigration, The Dems are weaponizing the kids in the detention center to not let Trump win his wall. At the end of the day the Rep. got 2 bills they want to introduce to end this, the Dems. have a bat shit cray cray senator from Cal. to introduce a bill, and the rest of the Dems. are screaming at clouds and I am willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that not 1 will be moved to vote yes to the Rep. bill introduced and hold firm on the crazy lady's bill.

What about that train?

"Liberal" Immigration Policy in Honduras.

Interviewer: How many foreigners are detained in Honduras?

Menjívar: Between 2010 to date, more than 34,000, the majority Cubans, Haitians, Colombians, and Ecuadorians. From Africa, some 3,374 (from Congo, Ghana, and Senegal). And some 256 from Asia, particularly from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. In total, well, we're talking about more than 40 [thousand] irregular migrants.

Interviewer: Why call them irregular migrants if everyone else calls them illegals?

Menjívar: The concept of illegal migration is discriminative, the transit is irregular but the migrant is a person that comes from a country and does not carry the document. That's the difference, that is what is irregular, doing it through a blind spot and without papers.

So the Nazis should be proud of what they did, right?

Hey, how bout them Southern deputies beating the hell outta non-violent, non-resisting black protesters in the 60s? Perfectly legal and proper. Are you proud of them too?

I wasn't there and in my modern thinking it would be wrong, but if we did live in the times would we find it wrong? They were thought of as possessions weren't they, just like the million of slaves across the world at the time and for centuries before them. My ancestors were taken as slaves both labour and sex slaves by the ten's of thousands by the Golden hoard to be sold to the Sultan's I think that was wrong too was it illegal?

Trump urges House GOP to fix immigration system, expresses no strong preference on rival bills amid uproar over family separations

In the closed-door session at the Capitol on Tuesday, President Trump told Republicans that building a border wall and finding a solution for the hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants would poll "very, very highly.��

But he provided anxious Republicans with no clear path forward two days ahead of votes on competing GOP bills. Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) said Trump "did indicate that he's supportive of both bills."

Trump diverged from the main topic of immigration, discussing trade, North Korea and his recent rise in polls, and he boasted of his administration's successes.

��We��re hot,�� he said, according to individuals in the room.

All of you white Americans should just shut your mouths on this one. These are poor children fcs! Look how good you've got it! You're white and privileged!

Oh wait, wasn't this the type of Hilary-think that got Trump elected in the first place?
Leave Hillary out of it. Not reverent. She would never have endorsed punting kids in cages indefianely away from their parents.

Trump was "elected.*(with Coomey's and Russia help)......and is accountable ;for everything that is happeningnow. But blaming Hillary or the dems is just a juvenile coop out. bloody shameful.

Trummp is operating on a power high......and is bloody dangerous. There are enough Nazi sympathizers in America that would support this inhumanity. Trump supports those Nazi sympathizers too.........as we have seen. The evidence has been in front for all to see. Trump supporters are of a similar mind set.(and may not fully realize it)

the world is watching in horror.......and america will never recover from this and other things that the tyrant is doing. Now......IF this is the real America......then america has been living one big lie...... That lie has been exposed .

I am so tired of hearing the U.S. media saying "This Is Not Who We Are".

At this very moment they are supporting the blockade of Gaza.

They are supporting the war in Yemen and where kids are starving to death and disease.

They killed off thousands of Iraqi kids with sanctions in the 1990's.

America has more than a million people in jails leaving millions of kids without parental care.

I am so tired of hearing the U.S. media scream about "Dictators (North Korea, Syria) Killing Their Own People". In fact, the U.S. chose countries run by dictators to imprison/torture people when the CIA had rendition as a priority. The U.S. financially supports at least 75% of the world dictators to this very day.

I think that "Killing Your Own People" is more righteous than killing people from other countries other than your own country as the U.S. has done since time began.

I know the word "cages" has been bandied about a lot. Sounds kind of cruel but I think we might be better informed if someone could perhaps provide a picture of these cages.

It's not so much a matter of taking Trump's side as minding one's own business until he/she has ALL the facts. What part of that is difficult to understand?

For you, it's the part where it's completely banal to point it out.

But more importantly, the fact that he's usually wrong.

When are they going to rip the children away from the parents who own companies and who hire undocumented aliens?

Actuality NO......even thought you would probably like it to be. Living in-denial of what is actually happening is what other nationals did until it was too late. America has done some very ugly things to many countries that have resulted in impoverishment etc.....but it is rather stunning AND shocking to see what iris doing within it's own borders and the "excuses" they are using. It is hard to believe..and yet it is thee in living color Ordinarily it would be unamerican.......but that is changing to the new american.

Whatabout whatabout whatabout whatabout. . .



Aren't you going to rant about how the founder of Planned Parenthood supported eugenics?

Heck, the Republicans used to be the non-racist party. That sure changed.
What's racist about enforcing the law? What's racist about Trump restoring and increasing funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities? What's racist about giving pardons to Black people who were wrongfully convicted? Has Trump banned legal immigration from Mexico? No? Has he tried? No? Hmmmm. That's not very racist of him. Is Trump simply turning everyone back who came across the border? No? What do you mean the majority of them are permitted to move on after being processed? Damn, that's not very racist.

Canada and Australia are doing the same thing and they both have supposedly Liberal-progressive govts. Yet not one soul wringing their hands over that dastardly evil Trump and his kidnapping ways seems the least bit concerned about the fact it's happening here as well.

I don't pretend to care just so I can use the victims as political weapons. It's the exact same horseshit as it is with firearms. If Canadians like Flosstard, who ONLY have an opinion on this issue in the US because it's Trump, REALLY gave a shit they'd have been howling about Trudeau doing this since the day he was elected.
