If these people coming in illegally were Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, how would you feel about separating the children from the parents and giving them identification numbers?

How would you feel about sending them back to Nazi Germany? 

It’s the law right?

You know what is kinda sad? Most of them are wanting to pass through to get to Canada now. If that isn't an sign that we lost the "greatest country on earth" status then I don't know what does. They know they have better opportunity in Canada where they won't have to look over their shoulders all the time if they bust their ass and contribute. Gringos like Equinox tend to get ugly when they feel their power and privilege threatened  and tend to reach for the bedsheets and torches.

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand 13546]

Well, I think we can all agree it was good for Elian to, somehow, have family in America while separated from his dad after his mom's death.

That was probably good.

You're lazy, intellectually. You feel threatened so you reach for your baseless charges of racism, white privilege, etc. Do you even know what my race is?

What really cracks me up in this endless debate is the fact that I have the same positions that Clinton and Obama had when they were running for president. 

[burntorangebongos 10681]

hahahaha, I don't care. I know that you are cold and unsympathetic to others that those of privilege and power tend to be due to their status. I assumed gringo but maybe I"m wrong and you are just the type who likes to lick boots to belong. Whatever, it don't make a shit.

Also, their policy in practice didn't live up to their campaign rhetoric, did it?

Theory: this is a result of a large portion of this generation being the first to do worse than their parents in a long time and compounded by seeing they are doing worse than the technological yoots, who’ve adapted to the economy they have no idea how to participate in.

The general anger caused by this has calloused everyone to hurting others.  People enjoy a heel turn when they are down.  It gives them power over something which they have been missing being left behind by those before them and passed up by those after.

This is 100% true.  Voters are effectively interviewing someone for a job and have no idea how to choose the correct person for the position.  So they are susceptible to the dumbest influences possible.  And it’s exactly what Trump has done all his life. Why do MLMs feed on morons?  Why does Trump University have to be sued to protect imbeciles who can’t help but be duped? Because they are morons.  Because they are imbeciles.  And they’ll vote for him again for reasons like “this guy doesn’t respect my opinion on all these globally important issues just because I’m uneducated and have never displayed a modicum of ability at complex thought.  I’ll teach him!”

[Hugo Stiglitz 23356]

[TornACL 7675]

Such idiocy. The Republicans were outraged by that Elian story, with Tom Delay famously referencing the "jack booted thugs". The Republicans in the Senate launched hearings over it to criticize Reno and the Clinton Administration. 

I guess if you call them hypocrites, they'll just respond with more what aboutism and call the Democrats hypocrites too. 

We live in stupid times.

Agree.  What is the better way in terms of this immediate crisis?

You stop prosecuting people who are crossing the border with children?

You release every person who crosses the border with a child on bail into the country?

You put the children in the same cell with their parent while they await trial?

You ship them back to their fucked up country of origin?

You can create some perverse incentives that make things worse. 

The whole immigration system is fucked up and politicians gonna politic the issue instead of do something to fix it. Bush had some of teh right ideas. You see how far that got.

I agree it's not an easy solution to find, but I think literally anything is better than the cowardly manipulative approach selected by our president. 

The worst part is that none of the decision making is being done with any consideration of the people affected. It's simply "how can we use this".

Since Trump has zero empathy in his soul, he sees issues like this as an opportunity for leverage. It's disgusting and shameful.

The problem is the manipulation and ignorance of facts surrounding immigration.

First, we actually need the labor.  There are currently more jobs available than workers to fill them.

Second, immigrants (legal and illegal) are a net positive on the economy.

Third, immigrants (legal or illegal) are less likely to be incarcerated for criminal behavior than a natural born citizen.

I’m all for border security but there needs to be a streamlined process to allow people to come into the country without fear of persecution and contribute to the country if that’s what they want to do.

Unfortunately, Republicans are aware that racist immigration policies appeal to their base. Conversely, it repels most Americans. They are walking a tricky political tightrope.

[Mojo Hand 4580]

I have a solution.  Trump should just pardon all of the parents from the misdemeanor illegal entry offense, which the evil Democrats have forced against his wishes.   Then he can reunite the families as he so clearly desires, and process their deportation through the immigration system.

They might win some battles, but they are losing the war. It might get better as some of their old white voters die off, but the GOP's current messaging is atrocious. I am of the opinion that it's going to lose them a few generations of younger and newer Americans. I view Donald Trump's ascendancy and domination of the party as its death rattle.
