And what, exactly, are South and Central America and Mexico doing to provide these things to THEIR people? Why are WE somehow to blame? Hint: we're not.

Given how many of the rapes are perpetrated by border patrol/customs officers, I’m not sure that putting more security personnel at the border will reduce the rape numbers.

You mean the five referred to in the article? SMDH.

More than 100 documented cases, and you’re more interested in the FIVE by border patrol.

Exactly. Anything to try and shut down discussion of what's going on at the border.

Oops!
Try reading what you post, OP.

Maybe read the bolded - MOST of these women are attacked by the migrant smugglers. A convenient fact to ignore, right?

You heartless, vile creature. Stop thinking people do not care about anyone who is raped because it does not fit their narrow narrative.

Stop using people like the woman in this article to support your manufactured crisis and lies. Look in the mirror, vile scum.

If you have an ounce of intellectual honesty: who gives illegal immigrants jobs?

DP. If YOU have an ounce of intellectual honesty: how is the woman in this article being "used" to support lies? Are you saying none of this happened to her (and other women)? Are you saying she's lying??

+1
And when Trump references things like this story, he is roundly mocked by liberals. Did you see their reactions to him during the SOTU when he brought up the sexual assaults at the border? They rolled their eyes like he was making it all up. Disgusting people.

Thankful this article is from the NYT - the liberal bible. Hopefully they'll believe it.

both sides.

Yeah, all those farmers vote for Democrats.

illegal immigrants working on farms are not the majority of illegal immigrants in the country.

Why is the GOP against mandating E-verify?

For the same reason Democrats are.

Where have the Democrats been against E-verify? The GOP had full control for 2 years and this wasn't a priority for them. Sorry but your 'both-sides' argument is nonsense. The GOP is only interested in illegal immigration as a tool to whip up their base, not in any meaningful reform.

Are you referring to the same democrats who just got their panties in a bunch last week because illegal immigrants buying guns illegally would be reported to ICE? Give me a break
And democrats had the house, senate and presidency recently too.. and did nothing on e-verify or even reform because this is their favorite wedge issue. At the end of President Obama's time they did push through amnesty (via DACA) and tried to push it through for the parents of Americans too.

You conveniently didn't answer the question. Since Obama allegedly did nothing and this is so important to your GOP why didn't they do anything during the two years they had complete control?

It sounds like you're saying it's an unfortunate situation in the scheme of things, but because of the terrible circumstances in that part of the world, trying to stop or limit it into the US is not the right or moral choice. We certainly cannot provide a safe environment, stable economy, or provide hope in a big chunk of the world. So, while you can say illegal immigration is "not good," you also seem to be saying, "we must allow it."

And I appreciate your honesty, tbh, because this is what I think most Dems believe.

Lots of liberals give illegal immigrants jobs so they can pay less

Next question.

Trump has hired illegal immigrants for many years till the jig was recently up.

You don’t get it. No one says illegal immigration is good. You will not fix illegal immigration until countries in South America, Central America, and Mexico provide a safe environment, stable economy, and most importantly hope. Americans do not know what it is to not have hope.

Why would anyone say it’s not a crisis? Has it not been a recognized problem for decades? Call it a crisis, a problem, a situation, an issue...who cares what you call it? Does it need to be addressed or not?

Are you joking?

If it isn't an issue to be addressed, why has the US, Rs and Ds, been talking about it for so long? What you call it is just semantics.

Enough is enough!

He will never do that. He needs them to work at his resorts. This is why it's not a good idea to have a businessman be President.

He has 11 million to choose from already here.
Shut it down.

President won't do it. As a businessman, he loves the cheap illegal labor.

Um, go read the article.
