Pretty disgusting! It government is becoming very scary.

Shows they were perfectly capable of keeping a database and dossiers, which they could have used for case files for tracking migrant families and their kids. But instead they spent that time and those resources tracking and building dossiers on journalists and immigration lawyers instead. Shameful.

Lawyers and journalists = Trump's "enemy of the people"
Refugees = "not even people, so who cares if the kids die, get raped in CBP custody, etc"

This is disgusting and utterly indefensible. Kirjsten Nielsen needs to resign, there needs to be an investigation, and everyone involved needs to be fired and held liable.

And there's nothing anyone wants to do to help their home countries deal with the problems, so as to make them more safe and stable so that there would be less people fleeing. The refugees showing up at our border are a symptom, but instead they are treated as the disease, and that approach will never solve anything, because people desperate to flee will continue to do so. It's like there's broken glass on your kitchen floor and you're complaining about how many band-aids you've used and how you need shoes with thicker soles instead of even giving any consideration to sweeping the glass up. Instead we should be looking to help those countries. But we don't even want to, because they are "shitholes" not worthy of further consideration, per brilliant Trump foreign policy.

I can’t even with the stupidity. Are you aware of how many billions of dollars the U.S. has given to these countries already, and many more billions are pledged for the future (by the Trump administration, btw) to “help them deal with their problems”?? How much good has this done so far?? It’s as if no money was spent at all. Nothing to show for it. And it’s somehow our fault that these countries can’t manage the money that we’ve pissed away on them? Newsflash: their people will continue coming to the border because they believe they will be admitted to this country. And the U.S. will always be attractive to them, no matter how much money we send to their countries, because liberals have made it their mission to let in as many as possible, for some inexplicable reason.

We've given central America pennies compared to Israel. And you "can't even" with the stupidity given we've thrown vastly more money at other countries at the bidding of their lobbyists? Where's your fiscal outrage over that stupidity?

You "can't even?" LMAO! Come on, do you know how stupid that statement looks?

"LMAO!" Do you know how stupid THAT expression looks?? Israel is clearly a good steward of our aid. They spend it wisely. Are there gangs in Israel? Didn't think so. Can you say the same thing about C. America? What, exactly, have they done with the billions in aid we've given them? NOTHING. They've allowed their countries to turn into cesspools of corruption and violence. And you want to send them yet *MORE* money. No thanks.

In fact, it’s Israel making all the breakthroughs in cancer research

Exactly. I have no problem sending aid to countries who will actually put it to good use.

American taxpayer dollars are funding a country which is an apartheid state where they shoot children and journalists.

Yep. Same is happening to moco and areas of md. Just a few weeks ago i was in md and a lady behind me was talking to her relatives from the caravan who just arrived into the US and when another relative was coming. We might as well just call it the United States of central America

Dude(tte), there are more Salvadorans in the DC area than almost anywhere else in the US, apparently almost as many as in San Salvador, itself. My family (European, not central American) collectively immigrated thanks to family immigration policies and back then near-open borders. And look what's happened: The US has SO MANY GDAM PEOPLE OF EUROPEAN ANCESTRY, we're practically took over! Who'm I kidding, not "practically," we DID. Our food, our language, our culture. We just kept making babies, taking land, imposing ourselves all over this land and its inhabitants.

Disgusting. Oh well!

"A WALL" does none of these things. That "solution" is a rhetorical device, not an actual fact-based proposal with any anticipated results, long-term or short-term. This prez f&c#ed up wrt policy, but he sure does know his base, doesn't he.

Great. What is your solution then?

So far you've just run your mouth with no substance.

^^PP is saying lots of Europeans came to this country when we had practically open borders, and now the country is over-run with Europeans, so if we don't build a border wall the same will happen with Central Americans taking over with their food (yum) and language (just heard a white real American woman whom I know (think nordic genes) converse in Spanish with a spanish speaker while I was out). They will just keep making babies, taking land and imposing themselves all over this country and its inhabitants, so we have to stop them before it's too late.

I think it was sarcasm lost in translation.

Oh I see now. Maybe it was sarcasm but I dont think its too far off. There was a meme to this effect. It basically said we need to stop this invasion before they do to us what we did to the native americans.

Instead of arguing about methods, why don't we establish acceptable metrics that are agreed upon, say to reduce illegal immigration by 15% y/y, and then hold agencies accountable for results?

I am curious if this would be acceptable to both sides?

This approach begs the question: is there actually political will to do the same? One challenge is flux due to economic circumstances but there is no reason why some sort of metric cannot be employed. Why hasn't it?

Absolutely. But a moronic poster sarcastically asked if we should be trying to put "a wall" around China.

canada won't take them. they have a safe third country agreement with us which means you have to accept "asylum seekers" if they land on your soil first. That is why we need one of those agreements with Mexico. SO they can remain in Mexico and we can deport them back immediately when they come to the border.

I find it appalling that we don't have this agreement already.

OMG.. this must be sarcasm. So I take it you are very fluent in spanish, or this person's English was pretty good. BTW, anyone can use google translate so don't bother pretending that you do.

-signed a moco resident

Not the PP, but you do realize plenty of people are fluent in Spanish, right? You don't have to be a newcomer to this country to know Spanish well.

Most of the fentanyl comes from China. Why don't you ask Trump to build a wall around China?

This is quite possibly one of the dumbest posts yet. Is China geographically co-located next to our county? Nope. Next!

Not the PP you are responding to but you missed the point, dumbass. PP was being sarcastic and demonstrating how stupid and pointless the wall argument is in context of Fentanyl. Totally flew over your head.

Oh, I got the "point" - which was idiotic. When you ask an idiotic question...
