News coverage featuring images like this one is enraging Trump while he’s in the UK. Good show, Londoners!
“Illegal immigration costs our country hundreds of billions of dollars,” [Trump] said at a recent [ego massage]. “So imagine if we could spend that money to help bring opportunity to our inner cities and our rural communities and our roads and our highways and our schools.”
As if you and the other Republicans would spend that money on any of those items.
It’s always been Cui bono. Since you’ve probably forgotten your Latin - “who benefits” or “follow the money.”
Grifters are going to grift… But why on earth do we have to keep electing them… And by WE I mean the US, it’s not likely many who read this did the voting. Time to end the electoral college and gerrymandering.
Did AP just “both sides” child concentration camps?
So who, state or federal govt, inspects these facilities?
Organizations like Southwest Key insist that the children are well cared for and that the vast sums of money they receive are necessary to house, transport, educate and provide medical care for thousands of children while complying with government regulations and court orders.
How are they educating these children? Who is supervising their curriculum? At what age do the “unaccompanied minors” age out? Where do they go when that happens?
Some in the Trump administration describe the new policy as a “deterrent” to future would-be immigrants and asylum-seekers fleeing violence and abject poverty in Central America, Mexico and beyond.
How is this a deterrent? How do those fleeing their home country’s violence know that this will happen? Really is this question that I keep asking that stupid or what?
is this money going to places where it will come back in the form of campaign funding? it is a whole lot of money per child on daily basis. probably makes any of our past domestic programs (SNAP) look tiny. "this is what it takes to care fo r these kids$$$ Vs. that $2/day lunch is killing or nation, driving our debt and making us less competitive. go figure.
Now if we can just find a baby jail to lock him up in.
And if they do know how likely are they to judge it as worse than being killed where they are?
Most migrants do so out of necessity.
