4 Severely Ill Migrant Toddlers Hospitalized

What would you have done in their place to show greater responsibility?
Not subjecting my children to the dangerous trip. Maybe accepted Mexico's offers of asylum. Just a couple of quick thoughts.
 
I hate people like TS with all my heart honestly, just pure stupidity and ignorance fueled by their thin little skin and fake outcry every 5 minutes about something.

An illegal child got sick? And? Im trying to understand what your point is... Its a child that should not be in this country that was mistreated and thrown in an unknown country by his parents who broke the law by doing so... What do you want people to do? There are already millions and millions of dollars spent every freaking year, these people know the risks and are still willing to take them, how is this anyone's fault but the parents/immigrants?

Its like playing hot potato and if this sick child falls into US custody its somehow Trups fault for everything, so stupid.

I swear people are so ignorant, there are more and more anti Americans in America which is why this country is going down the toilet, you people refuse to help your country when its suffering the most.

I dont want anyone to get hurt, child or adult, but at some point this border issue needs to stop because its really hurting Americans and the wages that are simply staying stagnant ontop of all the government programs that are running out of money due to an influx of people every year, so instead of actual Americans using these programs, we are supporting illegals.

Im an immigrant, my parents filled out paperwork and came to this country the right way, but seeing all this stupid outcry over people who are hell bent over breaking the laws which then has a trickle down affect of hurting all the people who are citizen in american economy is just idiotic, and then we have to defend them which makes it even worse.

Stop hating on your own country and taking things for granted, all these hate being thrown around the president who is doing an amazing job considering the constant obstruction he is getting by the anti-American democrats is beyond ridiculous.

Hurts my brain trying to understand why American parents who go to jail for trying to steal some milk for their kids because they cant afford it dont get any sympothy yet law breakers do on a consistent basis, what a disgusting time to live in America right now.


You have a link to a story of an American parent going to jail for stealing milk for their kids?
 
Let's see:

1. Pack them in like sardines.
2. Deny them the basics of hygiene.
3. No beds.
4. Ignore them dying.
5. Totally not a concentration camp.

It doesn't matter that you don't like the term, you shouldn't like the term. You also shouldn't support them.

And coming up with sanitized terms for the camps doesn't change what you are supporting: Toddlers dying while the guards don't give a ****.

Get hit with housing 600K+ people in half a year and see how well you can do with limited supplies.
 
Donald Trump, once again, the administration of child abuse.

We seriously need to put Trump in jail.


1. Rational people (both Democrats and Republicans and Independents) know that President Trump is not responsible for any bad conditions in these facilities.

2. They also know to be careful about what activists claim and what the Huffington Post "reports."


3. Many people do not believe that the workers are intentionally mistreating children.


4. Many people do believe that everyone who works there is incredibly overwhelmed by the number of people who have arrived.



5. Let's all hope that President Trump and Speaker Pelosi can come up with a plan to improve conditions, now that the President has delayed his plans to deport a few thousand unauthorized immigrants who have ignored orders to leave the United States.


6. We really need some influential adults to step into this situation.

As I have noted, some went and stayed in Mexico. Some moved on. The irresponsibility belongs to Central American gangs, their govts. in some cases, Mexico’s uncertain policies, and Trump’s actions. People have a right to flee, their subsequent decisions may run the gamut from wise to foolish. Boat people from Vietnam and Cuba, Syrians, et al. have and will make mistakes. But you are free to blame the victims. Why not travel to the region and enlighten them?

They have a right to flee, but no right to illegally cross into our country.

They have a right to cross at our legal points of entry to request asylum. They have been illegally turned back by our border patrol. After that some crossed illegally, at which point it became legal again for them to request asylum.
 
Sure, and some of your best friends are Trumpsters, too. Right? :roll:

Yes, actually. Two very close friends and my brother, none of whom are offended by the term Trumpsters.

So don’t be offended by DemonRats. :lamo

Actually, no, not true. To request asylum they must apply at an official port of entry.

That's what Trump says, but supposedly U.S. law says different. Trump's restrictions will be heard in court.

Edit: yes, they may need to apply at a port of entry, but they can cross illegally and they're still legally allowed to make an asylum request.

Well, I figure the next step is to talk about how many tax dollars this all costs, and then we'll just stop hearing about them.

So learned the Jews on the ship St.Louis. They were returned to Germany and the holocaust. After the war and cognizant of this came the following words in 1948: “Everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.” (Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.). Key words are “ in other countries.” The Refugee Act of 1980 states that everyone can seek asylum within the US “irrespective of status.” It was passed to bring the US in compliance with refugee treaties from 1951 and 1967 that the US ratified. Take it up with the Senate if you object.
 
Your failure to grasp why the parents took the journey is pathetic They have a choice, face starvation in Guatemala, persecution in Honduras and El Salvador, or take a chance with America, to which they are not given accurate information.

With those choices the right thing to do is offer empathy, sympathy, and care for those children until their situations are sorted out. But, they are being neglected, and you don't give a damn.
You do not have the foggiest idea what the hell you are talking about. Certainly there is poverty in Central America and at some level, persecution. However it is not at any level even remotely close to what you and your librul cohorts are making it out to be. If it were, the entire Central American population would be fleeing. You are basically making it up as you go along. You also seem unaware that many of those migrant parents are bringing only one or two children out of several offspring and as many as 4000 of them brought someone else's children. Basically they are being used as human shields to flash in front of the US media.

Right. Demons and rats. Who could possibly be offended by that likeness? And you think you're amusing, too.

Seriously, do you not even SEE your hypocrisy here? smh ...

You do not have the foggiest idea what the hell you're braying about. Those countries are the murder capitals of the world, and we made them that way. The entire population cannot leave, for obvious reasons.

Sad that you support gangsters.
