Anybody a parent here. Is that how you think?


“The fact is it's not as simple as you make it sound or Joe Biden made it sound on the stage last night to locate the parents who are in other countries,” Murtaugh said. “And when they do locate them, it has been DHS’ experience that in many cases the parents do not want the children returned.”

However the preference of the parents of the hundreds of children at issue is unknown, as they have not yet been successfully contacted by the court-appointed steering committee tasked with the effort. "

Wait. Last night there weren't parents. They were cartels and coyotes and gang members who brought those kids here. Did Donny lie about that?

How the hell would the WH or the Trump Campaign know what the parents want. They are not even looking for them. The only people looking are private charity organizations searching for the parents. Trumpsters are as shameless as Donald himself and that is saying a lot.
 
Unbelievable. (What Trump's campaign said, that is.)

It's borderline kidnapping and real child abuse. Someone needs to pay for all this mess, starting with Jeff Sessions. He is the one that produced Steven Miller who is now running immigration policy. He is a real wack job.
 
Devil's Advocate: Some of those parents may believe their kids will be better off because they think they'll eventually have to be sent to foster homes and adopted in the US.

Me again: that is heartbreaking.

Jeff Sessions will now fade into obscurity, as he even failed to win his party's nomination for a return to the Senate.

There very well could be lots of mixed feelings among the parents. It does not change the facts of what went on because of the 'No Tolerance' policy. None of it should have happened.

That's a valid point, Lursa. And I agree that it's heartbreaking.

'Please suburban women like me' and 'They're being very well taken care of'
The suburban women have left the building, they're all on their way to early voting...and they're pissed.

That stupid moron thinks we need to be taken care of :rolleyes:

In this case, that's the good news. It's pure proof that everything Trump touches, dies.

Sure, leave them to the care of the US government or bring them back to one of the shithole Latin American countries. Assuming they were actually accompanied by their parents in the first place.

And that makes it alright? Come on.
 
or bring them back to one of the shithole Latin American countries.
so true. why would parents want to have their own kids.

you have kids?

They were coming here for a better life - at least the kids will have a chance. It's a hard decision, granted.

well, to some folks "those" people aren't really "people". they're sub humans who get what they deserve.

and isn't this the same type of thing we saw in the old South (separating slave families)? same story. different decade.

would you give your kids up?
 
It's like separating them in the first place was a terrible idea.
 
If I was saving them from the hellholes of Central America, I might consider it.
wow.

thanks for posting that. i'm not sure anyone else here would give up their own kids though so you may be on an island.

would you give your kids up when they were 3yo? 5yo? 7yo?

Do a little study - parents have sent their children away from wars, etc. many times.
 
Lets not forget that the jack booted Trumpsters led by Stephen Miller never had a plan, never had a logistical framework within which to reunite them. It hardly matters whether some parents think their kids would be better off at this point or not. At the point of a decision made by the US government, the government that represents us, the American people, we/they ripped children from the arms of their parents knowing full well they had neither the intention nor the logistical framework to reunite them.

We will NEVER live this down, nor should we. We get to join the other countries that deserve pariah status. Nicely done Donnie you POS.
