Let’s charge the parents for trying to take their children out of harm’s way and for trying to save their own and their children’s lives.

I hope that rodent eyes Sessions even clamps down harder..ICE has been unleashed and it's a beautiful thing.. I thank our President Donald J Trump for honoring his campaign pledges.

Take them out of harms way, by taking them on a dangerous journey? How about fighting for change and standing up for their rights in their country, like so many did during the revolution and fighting in other wars to protect our freedoms.
If all the libs/dems and progs had it their way we could be speaking a language other than English.
I guess it is much easier to enter another country illegally where others made the ultimate sacrifice and demand rights!

That depends on the misdemeanor. What would you have us do with these foreigners? Turn them loose to roam the streets and countryside while some brainless bureaucrat decides their case?

When our country takes kids away from their mothers and fathers as punishment for coming to this country to seek asylum, when we call those kids "unaccompanied alien children" after we've forcibly "unaccompanied" them and sent them to shelters without any clear idea of when, or if, they'll see their moms and dads again...we'd like to say this isn't us, this isn't what we do, this isn't America.

Today, we did something about it. We took action.

With less than 24 hours notice, thousands of our fellow Americans made the trip to Tornillo -- where a makeshift shelter of tents has been constructed to hold those children -- to bear witness, to testify to our fellow Americans, and to force us to act.

Tornillo


Under a bright sky and a sun that burned our faces and the backs of our necks, we remembered that we were there for the families who'd traveled under these same skies -- for thousands of miles -- and endured under this same sun, arriving to this country burned, dehydrated and desperate. Like millions of families over the course of our history, they finally arrived, in the hope that they had found refuge, shelter and asylum when their own country could no longer protect them from hunger, brutality and death.

They came only to discover that under a new zero-tolerance policy, that those parents who had risked everything to bring their children here -- as any parent, any human would do -- as Amy and I would do in the same situation -- would have their children taken from them.

So we marched to the Tornillo tent city that was constructed last week to house the children of those parents and the children who had arrived without parents. There are over 200 children in there right now. Up to 4,000 coming over the days and weeks ahead.

My 7-year-old son Henry called me to wish me a happy father's day this morning before we left for the march. I told him I loved him and I'd see him soon but today we were marching to be there for those kids being detained in Tornillo. He asked me if Tornillo was a jail or if it was a camp. And I told him it's kind of like both at the same time.

And then he asked me,

"Why, dad? Did they do something wrong?"

There's no more important time to be alive than this one. To be an American, to be on the U.S.-Mexico border, to have the opportunity to define who we are as a country.

What's happening right now, it's on us, all of us -- no person, no party, no administration however powerful. It's on all of us, the people of America.

And after today I know that America is ready to meet this challenge, this test -- a moment that will define us for the rest of our lives and for the history to be written long after we're gone.

Whether it was Angela who came in from Rockport, a city still recovering from Hurricane Harvey. Or the delegations from Midland, Lubbock, Dallas, Austin and Houston. Joe, who took two flights from Boston. All the kids from El Paso, the teachers from Fort Hancock, the families from New Mexico. A woman who learned about this 20 hours ago in Salt Lake City, and jumped in the car stopping only for gas and a McDonald's.

People from all walks of life. Musicians (thank you David Garza and Jim Ward!), teachers, veterans, retirees, activists and shut-ins. People who've never been involved in politics, people who hold public office, people who want to hold public office. And people who want to hold those in public office accountable.

Veronica Escobar, our former County Judge and future Congresswoman who initiated the call to action and brought us together. Lupe Valdez who for the day suspended her campaign for governor and flew to El Paso, got a few hours of sleep and then drove to Tornillo to help lead the march. Fernado Garcia. Ruben Garcia. Cristobal Joshua Alex. Melissa Lopez. Congressman Joe Kennedy.

Today we were able to bear witness, to ensure that this is on us, on our conscience. And that we bear that burden now because we know it will be unbearable for long -- that it will force us to act, to push, to pressure, to ensure that our laws reflect our kids, those kids, and that idea and ideal of America that we still hold true.

No good tough important thing has ever happened in this country because Congress, Presidents, people in positions of power, woke up and decided to do the right thing. It's only ever happened when the people of this country forced those who had the power to use it for our common good.

I saw that today, and I am grateful that I got to be part of it.

I wonder how grateful he will be when his kids are either killed by wetbacks, or strung out on drugs smuggled in by wetbacks, or when he is assaulted by his precious illegals. Most of the crime in the border towns are committed by Mexicans. Not US citizens of Hispanic descent, Mexicans who come into this country illegally or legally. Mostly illegally. If you don't want your kids taken, keep them and your own ass at home.

Stick to the topic putz... Jew bash on your own post...

Richard94611

As usual, Loki, you are utterly wrong and are giving us a dose of your own prejudiced feelings without a shred of evidence to back you up. The only thing that you have got partly right is who’s committing most of the crimes in the border towns — the Mexican border towns— and that is the Mexican gangs.

Maybe you should go to Mexico and protest. Why didn’t they give those poor people asylum when they entered their country? It would have been easier for those illegals to assimilate, same language and very similar cultures. Oh silly me, it is too much of a burden for mexico so wave that “death train” through.

These Looney left idiots cannot grasp the idea that these same policies have been going on for years under previous presidents including their God Obama. It did not just start January of 2017 when Trump was elected president... Talk about morons.

badbob85037

Let me give you some friendly advise. You should put the drugs a way before that babbling becomes permanent.

Nickolai

We didn't elect him he and the Russians stole the election Spent $100 million on ads bashing and demonizing Hillary Clinton and Five million democratic voters either voted for third party or didn't bother showing up. My sister said she din not like Clinton When I asked why she said I don't trust her. The only place she could have gotten that crap is the fact she spends her days all day cruising face book or watching faux snooze channel

Nickolai

If that doesn't bring these idiots to their senses nothing will. They are called absolutist for good reason they are absolutely nuts

Nickolai

That's true Obama deported two million but he did not rib babies from their mothers and house them in cages or tents In the desert

Loki Loc: Georgia

The fact that she is nowhere near as gullible as you never occurred to you, I'll bet.
