Don't give me any bullshit comparing it to criminals in this country either. It is not comparable.

Why isn't it comparable? Either taking children from parents is inhumane or it is not.

Why is one inhumane and the other humane?

Do you think it is inhumane to separate children at the border from adults who AREN'T their parents?

Obviously you haven't thought any of this through. You were told by the media to be incensed by this and you dutifully follow orders.

You are so blinded by Trump rage you can't even see that you are losing on this issue and badly I might add. But please press forward with an open borders agenda for the mid terms. It should really work out well for the democrat party
 
I think evince nailed it about #walkaway. "Sofia Vargoros", a clumsy attempt to create a new name out of "Sofia Vergara."

    Via @placeboasis, here's another fake account trying to make #WalkAway happen. 16k RTs for "Sofia Vargoros," a bot with a profile pic stolen from -- I am not kidding -- a book about getting rich from penny stocks.

Once more you misquote me, whether by design or by misapprehension.

Look again:









Did you ask yourself why "Electoral" is capitalized in my statement?

That's a clue.

As I said, if you don't understand the significance, for the sake of our former friendship I will explain it to you, and I will provide factual corroboration if need be.

I'll even do it via PM if that would be preferable to you.

Since each State is assigned Electoral Votes depending on their POPULATION, don't illegal immigrants count as POPULATION; because I believe they do?
 
Meet the Nat Turner of the #WalkAway movement

Some 5 million people on Facebook and YouTube have seen the video by now. A very handsome gay man, who you just assume is about to scold you on progressive talking points, instead says this:

“Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal. I reject a system which allows an ambitious, misinformed and dogmatic mob to suppress free speech, create false narratives, and apathetically steamroll over the truth.”

And then this devastating line—the Rosa Parks moment of the video: “I reject hate.”

If DEMOCRATS were still able to watch the rest of the video without suffering a nervous breakdown, they’d see that it quickly got worse.

“These are the reasons why I became a liberal. And these are the same reasons why I am now walking away.”

Meet Brandon Straka, the unlikely liberator and new face of the “silent minority” of Americans who’ve been cast out by family and friends, fired from jobs, and forced into silent social ghettos for their failure to “get it” about how hateful and dangerous Donald Trump is, and why he and all his supporters should be subjected to an ever-expanding social and professional fatwa.

Since Straka published his confessional video on May 26, his life as a New York City hairdresser and aspiring actor has been overtaken by a tidal wave.

While speaking to reporters about the explosion of his #WalkAway campaign, Straka had to occasionally stop while fielding a constant barrage of newcomers’ testimonial letters, videos, and emails—over 1,000 a day.

Those who have the courage post their own video testimonials about the moment when the abuse, rage, and ugliness of the DEMOCRATS caused them to finally leave the party and “walk away.”

“This is so much more than a hashtag on Twitter,” he said. “This is a testimonial campaign, a grassroots movement that is going to change the political landscape of this country.”

And that’s the astonishing twist here: If these people have been driven into the arms of Donald Trump, who’s left on the left?

Why do you make such stupid assumptions?

They are not the same at all, not nearly so.
First of all, when a court sentences a criminal to prison, they do not take their children away. They take the (a ) single parent to prison. 99% of the time the children stay in the same home or move in with other relatives, and no one refuses them hugs or any touch at all. ( Read about the Russian orphans, permanently damaged by lack of touch.)

Second, the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

Asking for asylum is not against the law.

Even illegal entry is a non-violent misdemeanor, and as a first offense would never result in a jail term, at least in the northern states.

Regardless, they are not comparable in any way and it is you who has not thought it through, and you who takes u our cues from others, not me.

I watch no TV news, listen to no talkshows and read no political blogs.
I have my own thoughts and I understand right from wrong, unlike you.

Finally, I am not for open borders just because you say so.
I dispute the GOP's dishonest contention that they are the anti-inflammatory party, and the facts belie it as well.

It was on Dubya' plate, he did nothing.
Obama deported the most ever.
Capital wins with illegals, down pressing wages for all.
Capital is represented by the GOP
Labor loses to illegals , Dems represent labor.

So take your false narrative, your pack of lies, your general lack of morality, your ignorant arrogance and stuff it all so far up your ass you die from it.

Did you know that the Obama Administration was slapped down by a federal judge and a federal appellate court for "punishing" illegal immigrants by caging kids, separating families, and detaining asylees?

A federal judge in California ruled in 2015 that the Obama administration was in violation of the settlement when it tried to jail families together. The judge also said children could be held for no longer than 20 days.

Dolly M. Gee rejected arguments made by the Obama administration, as did the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.


https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-seeks-court-approval-to-detain-families-together-1529610123?tesla=y&mod=article_inline

As Central American children flooded into Texas in a way he had never seen in his three-decade career, Border Patrol agent Robert Harris decided to experiment.

His intelligence analysts estimated that 78 percent of the guides smuggling other migrants were Mexicans younger than 18 — often hired or conscripted by drug cartels that knew they would not be prosecuted if caught — and he wanted to attack this loophole.

“Why don’t we remove these juveniles from the smuggling cycle?” Harris, the commander of the Laredo sector of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, recalled thinking.

As a result of that decision, young Mexicans were being held for months without charge in shelters across the United States, sometimes without their parents’ knowledge.

Since the program began in May, 536 juveniles were held — 248 of whom were deported to Mexico after an average stay of 75 days, according to Border Patrol statistics.

Mexican authorities say some of these repeat border-crossers spent as much as six months in U.S. custody while they awaited an appearance before an immigration judge.

During their detention, they were questioned by U.S. authorities and then transferred to a network of facilities run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, across 15 states.

Harris said the Border Patrol does not have a system to track what happens to juveniles once they return to Mexico.

In the past, Mexican minors picked up by the Border Patrol normally would be deported by bus, sometimes on the same day they arrived. Some of those kids were captured more than 60 times, and Obama’s officers identified about 800 young Mexicans operating in Texas.

Obama's program began in two Border Patrol sectors, Laredo and Del Rio, consisting of nearly 400 miles of the Texas border with Mexico. “The moment it started, it took us all by surprise, because there wasn't an announcement,” said Reyna Torres Mendívil, director general of the Mexican Foreign Ministry’s office for protection of Mexicans abroad. “Where were they taking these children?”

Typically, unless there are aggravating circumstances, they won’t be prosecuted. So this period of detention is intended to be a punishment in lieu of a criminal charge.

The shelters they are sent to also house juveniles from Central America, awaiting flights home; last year, the Mexican kids accounted for about 1 percent of all the detainees in these facilities.

Oscar Jaime Rodriguez Mendoza, a 16-year-old from the border town of Reynosa, left for the United States and didn’t come home. “We didn’t know what had happened to him,” said his mother, Leonor Mendoza, a 37-year-old clothing vendor.
She finally learned that he had been sent to a shelter in California. “It’s a type of punishment so they won’t cross as much” his mother said.

Why on Earth would Norwegians want to become Americans?

They have universal health care that doesn't bankrupt their citizens.

They get, like, 3 month vacations every year. Who would want to give that up?

Average hours worked, per worker, per year:

Norway -1424

USA - 1789

Wiki

Trump would have to actually MAKE America a lot greater for everybody, to attract many Norwegians.

So far he has only made it great for rich elites.

He has made elitism great again...

Perhaps I misunderstood.

Maybe it's MEGA

Make Elitism Great Again.

In the end does it matter?

No way all of the testimonies are fake. Also, the guy who started the movement is a gay hair dresser from NYC.

Though #walkaway seems to have gotten the attention of the lefties lol. Now there’s Tweets ‘warning’ that the Russians are behind it.
 
Hello Darth,

Trump sees the danger of allowing masses of unskilled immigrants into the country, and for the life of me I don’t know how a rational person can disagree with him.

Send us hordes of Indian mathematicians and chemists instead. Race has nothing to do with it.

Seems like most of the people who want to get in also are willing to work hard. Is that not of value any more if they are presently unskilled?

I suppose with our education system crippled by capitalism it is rather difficult to take willing people and up-train their skill set. It's kind of a Catch 22. If they had plenty of money, they could pay for school and become skilled workers who could earn plenty of money. But since they aren't already high earners and can't pay for it then it's not worth it to the USA to train them and benefit from their contributions to the economy thereafter. (bogus!)

When I am looking for people to fill positions, I am drawn more to enthusiasm than experience. People with the right attitude and aptitude can be trained to become very good. But people with great skills and a lousy attitude are actually worse than having nobody at all since they poison your team.
 
Hello Darth,

And you’re ignorant of the current job market lol.

This isn’t 1920 when hordes of Europeans immigrated to the steel mills in Pittsburgh or the coal fields of WV. The country needed mass immigration of unskilled or low skilled workers at the time. There is no living wage to be had for someone of that job-caliber today. For every one of them that makes something of himself there’s going to be 8 or 10 that lag behind.

It’s going to overload our already stressed entitlement programs.

That is going to happen anyway. All of this points to what many have been saying for years. It is time for the world, the USA and all nations, to come to an agreement on population control.

There’s only X amount of those kind of jobs and families can’t survive on them without government assistance.

Who’s going to pay for all of this? You can only tax the rich so much before you drive them out of the country.

Where in the world would they have it any better?

As I recall they just got a huge tax break.

Seriously, just how many people do you think are going to leave the USA because they can't get rich enough here?

The super rich are SO RICH they don't have to worry about such things.

They can live anywhere they want.

If the USA is their home why would they want to leave their home, all their friends, all their relatives, grandchildren, everything, leave baseball, leave football, leave the 4th of July, leave it all behind formore of something that is of no concern to them? Money? They already have more money than they can spend in a lifetime. They would leave everything behind, go to some strange place, just for more money?

And just where is this nirvana of having more money?

What can they buy there?

(not sure what good all that money is if you can't buy anything with it.)

Man, the USA has got it ALL.

This place is fantastic.

People are trying to get IN, not OUT.

Rich Russians buy property HERE.

Rich Americans don't buy property in Russia.
