Immigration in the US

Jesus Christ!

Yeah, I keep hoping it’s a clerical error of some sort. But…

Think of the children!

Unless you lost over a thousand of them. Then whatever.

Yeah but these are mostly brown kids I assume. They don’t really count to the Christian GOP.


This is fine.

It’s okay because these kids aren’t innocent anyway.

“We have the worst immigration laws of any country, anywhere in the world,” Trump said at the roundtable held at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center. “They exploited the loopholes in our laws to enter the country as unaccompanied alien minors.”

Trump added: “They look so innocent. They’re not innocent.”

“We’re letting people in who are creating problems. We’re letting people in who are gang members. We’re also letting people in who are vulnerable,” Rosenstein said. Because many of the migrant children lack families or a similar support system, they become “vulnerable to [gang] recruitment,” the deputy attorney general said.

Well, now over a thousand more of them lack families and are vulnerable.

Maybe instead of a wall we can put up warning signs about child misplacement, that’ll turn the families around.

I saw this related bit. Not only do they lose them, they have released some to human traffickers. I can’t believe this didn’t make bigger news.

"In 2014, at least 10 trafficking victims, including eight minors, were discovered during a raid by federal and local law enforcement in Portman’s home state of Ohio. As FRONTLINE examined in the recent documentary Trafficked in America, HHS had released several minors to the traffickers."

Seriously though, how can HHS be expected to know whom these little brown kids belong to? They’re so indistinguishable and are probably all jabbering about in their Not English tongue. They’re not innocent! They look innocent but they’re not - these are hardened toddlers.

This should be shocking to absolutely no one at all. Hypocritical fucktards. They would mock and probably jail Jesus himself if he suddenly appeared in their midst, talking about all his socialist love-thy-neighbor bullshit.

Well, to evangelicals catholics aren’t christians.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents allegedly used stun guns on the minors for amusement or punishment, kicked them and threatened to either rape or kill them.

People who do this to children should not be loose and in public. They’re monsters.

I have an epiphany. I finally understand why in US popular discourse children are held in a somewhat holy-status. It’s because for adults we use excuses like “they are lazy” “they are criminals” “they should have gone to school.” For children they can’t use these excuses. So we can make our own judgements on how cruel an action is.

Considering all the reforms the Catholic church has undergone, there really isn’t even anything to “Protest” against any more.

They could have used the tree potentially as a weapon. I mean, it was just standing there waiting to be used.

They are lazy. Take babies, for instance. How much work do they actually do? They just kind of lay there and whine.

My wife gets mad when I make fun of our three-week-old daughter for not being able to feed herself, do her own taxes, or drive herself around.

Is your baby an immigrant? I’d better put extra locks on my door.
