Morgan, The pictures of children in cages that were put up to show how evil Trump and America is turned out to be pictures from 2015, when BHO was President. The Trump haters will say and do anything tomake Trump look bad, and they won't let the truth get in the way of what they say. Trump haters hate Trump more than they love America(or anyone or anything else; they don't love. Hate is ALL they know).

….and where are WE supposed to report for "asylum" from the infestation of ILLEGALS/GANG MEMBERS and DUMBocRATS who are trying to destroy our country?!?!?

We have enough of our own home grown reprobates, without importing more !!!!

I suggest you at least check your sources and at best be my guest; twice a month as we visit the border holing facilities. When anyone visits for their first time they are always amazed at the number of civilian volunteers, the pro-bono lawyers, the religious groups and the cameras that act as the constant witness.

I promise you only when a child's parent is detained for legal or emergency health reasons is any minor child separated. "ACLU" & the "Human Rights Clinic/University Chicago Law School" what
would you expect?

When I replied I was having a moment compassion, "let me assure you, Morgan, it's all BS" but damn then I read yours and wished I just Copy/paste cuz you're spot on. Thx

And exactly what happens to American citizens when THEY break the law and go to jail. Oh, they are separated from their children.

Trump is not responsible for this. Get the facts. That viral picture was taken before trump was elected.

It is illegal in this country to lock up kids w/ their mothers or fathers. Mothers & fathers go to jail everyday & their children go to social services, foster homes.

This is one of the unfortunate results of breaking the law or just being arrested. We need to put ads on tv, radio, newspapers in Central, South America telling the people this is going to happen.

Hey Morgan,

Not to hot if only a few steps from a pool.

I had a long wordy reply that I somehow deleted.
I'm seeing alot of my fellow conservatives coming at you tough and I'm disappointed in the lack of compassion for the children. I understand that the parents are in jail for breaking the law so the children must be separated. I understand Sessions trying to send a message because of the nearly 2000 per caravans crossing our borders, our flawed laws and over burdened system. I may disagree with you on immigration, we haven't really discussed it much, or disagree on Sessions actions. Regardless of agree or disagree, these children must be terrified, sad, separation anxiety and a host of other emotions and that is the center of the issue. I'm seeing my fellow conservative not having compassion for the children and if thus has been happening for years, the media being deceptive only weaving together a false narrative to color Trump negatively. OK, but what about the children and how terrible to learn after years this still isn't fixed? Trump is handcuffed by the lefts 100% opposition and if anything needs fixed is our immigration that can stop this insanity.
I'm all for Trumps immigration as long as we have a fixed system to properly vet and process those seeking to live and assimilate to American culture. Controlling the flow of those coming into our country would save hundreds of billions of dollars and if only a few billion of those saved dollars were funneled into processing immigration applications seems both the left and right would get what they want. The leftist would lose their minds because all they seek is open borders including Canada. Actually I'll state it correctly.... The leftist don't want open borders, they want no borders with free passage the same as driving from one state to another.
I feel bad your being slammed so hard, many on this post are not aware that you stand on conservative policies, you stand for democrat policies and take an issue not based on party line. Automatically if you support a Democrat issue then your flagged and hated as a leftist, which you're not. I get you and appreciate you. It's great to debate an independent thinker, with critical thinking skills.

Smile and have a great day,

Mikeyavelli

Send the whole famdamly back to Merdahole Meheeco or wherever they snuck in from. I won't miss them.

Morgan...those pitiful pictures of children in cages were taken in 2014. Guess who was president then? Pulling children away from mothers or family? What do you think happens to the children of US citizen criminals when their parents are arrested? Make no mistake; sneaking into this country or entering without permission is a crime. People who try and tell you it's only a civil violation are full of crap.
I suggest you read 8 US Code 1325. As a matter of fact, 8 US Code has some pretty strong criminal penalties for illegals.

ONly about 2% of the illegals in this country are involved in agriculture, so don't ask us who will pick our lettuce. Most of the illegals drugs imported into this country come via the Southern border. MS 13 and other Hispanic gangs are popping up in major and not so major cities all over the US, peddling poison and violence.
Once more, the parents of the children being separated knew full well what would happen. The pictures you refer to were taken while Obama was president. About one fourth of the Hispanics in this country are here illegally. According to the last census there are about 44 million Hispanics in this country, and according to the US government there are more than 10 million illegal Latinos. (The figure for illegals is a good bit higher, but that includes all illegals. I only refer to Mexican and Central American illegals. There are not enough illegals from South America to BE a statistic.
About 40% of the illegals in this country are visa overstays. I am not talking about someone who overstays by a couple of months. These cases are never prosecuted unless other crimes are committed. I mean those who have been here for years, gaining employment with fraudulent IDs. These are felons.
As I have said repeatedly, there are more than one million Mexicans in the process of becoming US citizens the lawful way, putting up with the bureaucratic bullshit and paper work. These are people who respect our laws and are generally honest, educated and have job skills. These are the immigrants we want, NOT some high school drop out who sneaks into our country with his wife, girlfriend or rent-a-puta already pregnant to have baby on US soil at US taxpayer expense, thereby increasing the number of "anchor babies" (a legal fraud, by the way) by one.
The SCOTUS has ruled in Elk v Wilkins 1884, and in US v Wong Kim Ark 1898, that the children of illegals born in this country are not birth citizens. John Elk was ruled not a citizen because his parents were non-citizen Indians. Wong Kim Ark was ruled a birth citizen because his parents were legal residents permanently domiciled in this country, NOT someone here illegally or on a temporary visa.
The author of the first section of the 14th Amendment, Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan, stated that the Amendment was solely for the purpose of guaranteeing full citizenship rights to former slaves and had nothing to do with foreigners in this country illegally.
This statement of purpose was reaffirmed in both SCOTUS cases vis-a-vis the 14th Amendment's "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause.
To be a birth citizen of the US according to two SCOTUS decisions you must be a child of a citizen, or a foreign national who is a permanent legal resident here. According to these decisions, the children of illegals or non-citizens here temporarily do not qualify.
Anchor babies are a legal fraud.

We would except our broken laws says we have to release them until they have their day in front of a judge. Or we can hold them in jail but we can't send them back.

private

[quote=Morgan}Last month, Steven Wagner, an official with the department of health and human services, told a Senate committee that his agency had “lost track” of 1,475 immigrant children who had been seized after crossing the US-Mexican border; some of these kids, it was feared, had been turned over to human traffickers.[/quote]
That also:



They are baby sitting and cleaning houses for the Washington elite, just like always. They're not lost.

Morgan

Great for all your anti-socialism, this way is completely socialistic and we are paying for both an illegal and paying for their child, not very financially sound.

They should be just sent back together and handed to their government for punishment

Loki Loc: Georgia

They should be deported together. I doubt their governments would punish them. Especially Mexico. Where our politicians get the idea that the Mexican government is our friend is beyond me.

That quite lost 1445 is taken out of context and plain false
