Thank's for the compliment and yes, I do love them which is has a lot to do with WHY I am fighting Trump. Whether my conclusions are correct or not, I believe Trump is causing harm to our beloved country and to the future of my children. My wife and I have raised our children to stand up for liberty and justice and today they are both involved in the fight which is not limited to expressing opinions on social media. My daughter is starting law school and we are both writing for publications with a wider audience, not to mention letters to our representatives. My son and I are both involved in open-source projects for developing systems to improve political transparency and resist censorship. Of course we all vote and we all read... a lot ;)

I'm sorry we don't agree on Trump, but I hope we can agree that as citizens, it's our duty to protect our republic from threats as we see them.

The reason why it's getting more attention now because of the way Trump is handling the situation. Under Bush and Obama, the process was swift and families were reunited ASAP. Under Trump, the deportation rate has actually decreased while the arrest rate has increased. This confirms a bottleneck which many of us have reason to suspect is tied to the private sector prisons being used. Another difference is that neither Bush nor Obama lost track of where the children went. Under Trump, roughly 2000 children have been lost. But the difference that really makes this a headline story is the attitude from the administration which shifted from child separation being an unfortunate effect that should be minimized to being an intentional strategy.

Also, it shouldn't be THAT difficult to see how this is only part of a bigger story which is verging close to a civil war that is dividing the nation. Americans are falling into two sides... One side (about 25% of America) is hostile to immigrants. These people (many of which are white supremacists) push for laws such as Trumps travel bans to make more immigrants illegal, which in their mind justifies their hostility. They spend their time, looking for worst case scenarios to apply to all "illegal" immigrants as a stereotype. Disgusting. The other side (about 68% of America) is defending the American traditions of liberty and justice for all such as what we see inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.

Most of us DO understand that children get separated from their parents when their parents break the law and it's a bit annoying when our opponents keep drilling that as if it isn't obvious. It's even more annoying when they can't get past the obvious to arrive at the less obvious points we are making. It's like we're in the 3rd quarter of a football game and some guy on the team keeps insisting that we're playing football. That's how stupid it is. Yes, we know that children get separated from parents that break the law, but there are cases where the law itself needs to be reconsidered. Obama asked Congress repeatedly to do this but Congress decided instead to sit on their hands. So he enacted DACA as a temporary measure to protect the sanctity of family pending Congressional action. Trump came in with an attack on that protection from the very start. So this is not a new thing and after a year and a half of Trump I think people are pretty clear on what's going on.

This is nothing less than American virtue vs American bigotry. Plain and f'king simple.

No they can't! Did you not read my post? They are being sent back without a hearing as per the new TRUMP policies. This is a NEW change in policy - you need to update your information.

Or, I suppose you can continue to deny, deflect and distract... in which case arguing this with you is a pointless waste of time.

American Virtue vs American Bigotry!

We all know which side you're on Loki. I just hope you don't push things so far that you wind up like your predecessors.

Interesting picture. I know where it came from. It was taken by Matthew Brady, a Union Army photographer. Union losses at this battle were considerably higher than Confederate. You really wouldn't expect propaganda pictures from a Union Army photographer to show that, would you?

Unfortunately, there were no photographers at Breed's Hill, or at the Battle of New Orleans. If there were I could post pictures of dead redcoats and hope that you don't push things too far and end up like YOUR ancestors.
For your information, President Bush just signed an executive order ending the practice of separating kids from their families, You know, the one that Clinton, Bush and Obama all followed, too? Now your little darlings can enjoy all the delights of incarceration in an adult facility. Happy now?

So you say that you're "fighting Trump" are you ?

Good luck with that pilgrim.

16 seasoned republicans fought against Trump and they are all sitting on the losers bench right along with the Clinton Pig and old man Sanders.

They were powerful people yet they went down in a heap of smoking Ash.

So I don't see that you stand much of a chance "fighting Trump".

I would suggest that you enjoy your life and not waste your time on futile efforts.

Trump is a conquerer and you're just a mild mannered family man.

That's what America needs more of right now.

Good law abiding, productive American families.

No, absolutely not, do not take the babies away from their mothers. Send both the mother and her children back where they came from, ILLEGALLY after all. For those who were children years ago when they came here, but are now adults, send them back as adults to the country of origin. On the other hand, if they have committed a crime since getting here, then punishment and then deportation should be mandatory. Stop with this world without borders B*S which is, in reality a part of the Soviet one world under communism promotion, in its current stealth form.

The pictures you're speaking of were of 2014 but not of anything I referenced to. You've pointed out Bush's law, can you be more specific looking back there are many acts since the beginning of his presidency of 2000 to 2007. in reading the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 I found nothing on separating children from parents.

I really don't know how you say this considering Sessions had very deliberately delivered a speech on getting tougher with immigrants and therefore enforcing this separation as a device to deter the migration into the US. It was live, I head it, did you?
