I didn't believe what was happening to these children at first. I thought I was reading a horror story. Our children, their children -- it doesn't matter. ANY child within our care is our child.

Here's The Entire House Oversight Committee Hearing
Vice President Pence is blaming this entirely on Democrats. Meanwhile Trump's trying to distract by flooding 100% of his twitter account all morning rehashing his attacks on Obama, Hillary and the entire Mueller investigation.
Here's Where I Stand
Over two weeks ago both sides of congress passed a $4.5b Senate border aid package which Trump signed. So there are no more excuses for this. Even without this EXTRA funding it is entirely this administration's responsibility for these conditions. Trump's been in office for 2 1/2 years now. How long does he need to get his act together?
You damn well know if the shoe were on the other foot the Republicans, FOX News and the rest of the worms would have been all over Obama and justifiably so. Instead Donald and company are more focused on destroying democrats (both past and present) then resolving these conditions. In fact seem to be escalating them using them as pawns in their never ending game to eradicate "communist", "Extreme Leftists" from the face of the Earth.
Let me put this clearly as possible. Once you become president and appoint all your people to run these agencies.. YOU OWN THE RESULTS. Not Obama. Not Hillary. Not the Media. Not congress. YOU DO MR. PRESIDENT. Congress didn't pick your department heads. YOU DID. Trump insists and argues constantly how congress has little say when it comes to his executive policy decisions. If that's what you want to do as president so-be-it. But this is no excuse for creating conditions which would even get a animal zoo shut down.
Look I know we can't have a never ending flood of immigrants. I understand that. BUT.. no civilized caring country should be deliberately going out of their way to make things more miserable then they need be. We have laws against robbery and murder. It doesn't stop them. Neither will this punishment either. Solutions lie elsewhere.
This border situation has been going on for years.The media and Dems have been encouraging these migrants to rush the border .Overload the border and tens of thousands of folks will get in
ReplyDelete"ICE deported 95,360 illegal immigrants from the interior of the United States in 2018... Removals from the interior peaked during the Obama administration in 2011 at 237,941...ICE under President Obama’s administration removed an average of 1.38 percent of the interior illegal immigrant population per year of his presidency... So far, ICE under President Trump has only managed to deport an average of 0.83 percent of the illegal immigrant population each year...

Point is Obama concentrated his efforts on deporting rather then separating and detaining. It also means to me he wasn't "encouraging these migrants". What he also wasn't doing is cutting off aide and creating sanctions where they live making conditions worse then they already are.
DeleteOur point exactly.Start deporting these folks A.S.A.P.
ReplyDeleteI agree.Trump needs to just do it not talk and tweet about it. Every time he does that (1) media will report on it (2) Counter protests erupt. He needs to just do it quietly not shouting about it from the rooftops.
