Trump’s Immigration Policies Are Actually Pretty Popular

[Darth Omar]

That's legitimate. Why would you separate the children from the parents? That's where the uproar is.
Whether you're FOR immigration, or AGAINST immigration, it makes NO SENSE to separate the children from the parents.

The problem is no good solution exists.

Flores dictates that the government can’t hold kids longer than 20 days and it takes a lot longer for their parents to be processed. So unless they do catch and release kids are going to be separated from their parents.

Basically, the choice is separating kids or having what amounts to open borders. It’s worth pointing out that neither side of the argument is illegitimate.

And it gets worse. Once word gets out that immigrants can skirt our laws simply by showing up at the border with their kid [or ANY kid] it becomes a recipe for disaster. What irks me about the way the media portrays the issue is they totally ignore the perils these kids face on their trek through Mexico. One can only imagine the horrors some of them face. And by being lax with our own laws the government is enticing them to make the trip.

That’s as bad or worse than separating families.

But if we’d build the damn wall, much of this problem would be alleviated.

Oh gawd, here comes the "better than thou" arrogant elitist, to once again, ... tell us how much better he is than poor and working class human beings.

Must suck to be such a loser that you view middle class as elitist. LOL

Hey work hard and get an education. It’s not easy but it’s hardly elite to earn middle class status. Even someone like you can do it if you really try.

Well, Trump's supporters are actually pretty scummy, aren't they?

The problem is it isn’t that big a problem. Illegal immigration is a fraction of what it was in 2000.

What it really is, is an issue thatba cynical politician is using to manipulate the fears and resentments of ignorant rubes. Trump should be called “The Rube Master.”.

It's pretty simple. You keep the families together. If you deport them, deport them as a 'family unit', if you accept them, accept them as a 'family unit'.
Republican Congress.
Republican President.

I bet even 'Legina' could draft a Bill saying the above.

you could end the manipulation by agreeing to an immigration policy......

Build the wall so we don’t have to house them indefinitely.

It would pay for itself in ten years.

Would YOU agree to a Policy of keeping families together?

[anatta]

It doesn't mater what the people want.
The Freedom caucus is a joke-why would anyone legalize DACA yet not give a path to citizenship?

The #neverTrumps in the Senate won't touch anything.
Trump has a mess to deal with and Congress once again cannot do anything

Cynicism lol?

Like posting a fake picture on the cover of Time magazine?

That's a different issue. The SOLE issue that is stirring up controversy is 'separating families'. How hard is it to figure out that is not in the best interest of ANYBODY?

You view yourself as an elitist.

Just as it’s the lower classes who fear they will have to compete with them for jobs. I personally don’t care if it’s an illegal immigrant or a low end of the social order redneck who serves me at McD’s as long as they get the order right and McD’s has so dumbed down even an illegal immigrant or a working class Republican can’t fuck it up.

[PostmodernProphet]

yes Jack......parents and children should be reunited south of the wall.......
