No we are not being cruel to them on purpose.
They are being used as a political punishment for the current administration.
If we were rounding them up and forcing them into America, you might have a point.

This is what incredible stupidity/lies looks like. Read it, folks.

Your inability to even address the most basic premise of your argument (that they aren’t attempting to enter legally) shows that you are completely full of shit

It isn’t. You’re fucking stupid.
Whats misrepresented?
You are advocating violating our asylum laws. They are following a legal process.
You’re also a gigantic pussy.

it's amazing how many people breathlessly clamoring that the LAW NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED!!!!!!! don't have any idea of what the law is.

And all of this.

Simple question for Slorch: early in the nazi regime, a ship of Jewish children tried to enter the US (the St Louis). The law did not allow them to enter.

Should we have allowed them in or not?

I remind you, everything the nazis did was 100% legal.

Slavery was legal.

“It’s the law” is a TERRIBLE argument. And I say that as a practicing attorney.

Exactly. Guys like me and my guy Crispy (white American men) are the real victims, not these little brown criminals who abuse our amazing generosity. I mean just look at these people: 

They are the obviously the abusers in this scenario and the victims are me and my main bro Crispy, a white guy in a polo shirt and khakis who lives in Cypress and works at the Verizon store. Crispy and me don't pay barely anything in taxes so that money can be funneled into the pockets of people like this, who are only trying to get into this country to destroy Crispy and his family (ex-wife and 2 kids that he gets to see on alternating federal holiday weekends). When I see pictures of these people I am just terrified because I know they are here to get me: 

Thank Jesus Crispy and I have a big strong man in the White House who will stop these animals from abusing us any more. 

If I were Trump, I would build a series of Trump hotels along the border. It would be great marketing/business opportunity and these migrants would get to live a little before being deported.

[RomaVicta 30592]

I don't think Ford, Reagan, or either Bush would have been good with this. The villain Nixon wouldn't have gone for it, I don't think. 

Your DixieCrats who fought Civil Rights and turned their dogs, hoses, and guns on your nigras would have been fine with this. Your Klan. Your punishing Christian who is kinda glad everybody else is going to hell might find a way to rationalize caging children and adults. Throw in the self-deluding fools that won't actually really look at all this, and you have Trump's constituency.

Today's Republican Party, ladies and gentlemen. Barry Goldwater would cuff Trump all around the White House lawn until Ike or Teddy asked to cut in. Had you got Reagan to visit a camp, he likely would have wept, otherwise he might have slept. The Bushes? They've got brown family members. W would have gone nukular. 

Most of those guys, I either don't like are mostly don't agree with. A few might have captured my vote. I'm a Dem, and I lament the death of Republican values. The Dems can be overly emotionally mushy in their compassion. Republicans would sometime counter balance that inclination, but not out of cruelty: out of sober restraint in view of the impact to what they thought best for the US. 

When you can afford it, lean Dem. When you don't think you can, lean GOP. Not any more. 

Trump's GOP is a cancer. Coughing out the orange tumor won't cure the disease. I hope some of you are right about Trumpism dying out with an older generation, but I'm not sure of it.

Young people grow accustomed to what they hear. If Trumpism holds on for four or five more years, you may well have a younger generation indoctrinated.

Like I stated, civil wars will tear countries and regions apart. It seems Honduras suffered from stagnating agricultural and de-industrialization. The fear caused by the other civil wars in the region also played a role.

Kind of funny that you disappear just as he shows up.

Ultimately trump is breaking the law.  you claim to want the law to be followed but It is pretty clear you don’t care about the law at all when it comes to trump.  So does the law matter or not? The asylum seekers are trying to follow the law so why aren’t you triggered/outraged when trump breaks it?

So it wasn’t the fact that the US turned it into a de facto military base in the 1980’s and then 29 years later overthrew a legitimately elected leader for bullshit reasons, which immediately was followed by an economic downturn in an already suffering country? Cool. Didn’t know that.

The word you’re looking for is “ceded,” and that so misses the point it’s not even worth reviewing.

The constitution doesn't say due process for citizens and no process for everyone else. It says due process for everyone in the country. Or do you think visitors to our country can be locked up for crimes with no trial? Frankly, you're a traitor to the constitution and that seems a pretty good reason to lock you up.

"Rev. Samuel Rodriguez was "full of indignation" when he saw the reports and heard from politicians about the deplorable and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center. But what he saw at the same facility toured by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. with a group of pastors was "drastically different."

“I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system," Rodriguez, who has advised President Trump and both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform, noted. “To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border."

The group of pastors saw a very different picture described by Ocasio-Cortez and other politicians and media outlets.

“We found no soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities,” Rodriguez remarked, adding he specifically asked border agents if they staged the facility in response to the negative press. “They unequivocally denied it — we were witnessing the identical conditions the attorneys saw when they toured the facility days earlier."

In fact, some told him the sources from whom the negative coverage originated “never toured the areas of the facility that we toured” and speculated they might have had political motivations.
