Discussion: Gutting Trafficking Law Could Weigh Heavily On U.S. Conscience

Discussion for article #225532

Uhhh, no! Congress wants Obama to roll back those safeguards so they can tell any constituents outraged at GOTP callousness, “Hey, don’t look at me! The n(CLANG) did it!” The thing is (and it is difficult to remember this after two straight do-nothing-but-bitch Congresses), it is Congress that makes law! And in case anyone isn’t keeping track, Agent Orange’s exasperation that Obama “could do this all himself” flies in the face of both Boner’s own lawsuit and the GOTP’s faux outrage about the terrible, horrible way Obama has signed BILLIONS AND BILLIONS (aka approx. 175) of Executive Orders to get around their intransigence at getting anything done where he’d get some credit – oh, and where anyone other than corporations and the 1-percent get the goodie.

The “US Conscience” rationalized Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don’t think this will put it under any strain.

It could weigh heavily on America’s conscience but Republicans don’t care.

The other TPM article says Obama is asking Central American leaders to come to the W.H. to discuss the very problem. Sounds like more than congress is trying to do.

Returning unwanted immigrants is an issue or problem for most nations across the globe. They usually intercept them before they cross the border. Obama’s plan to screen the kids in cooperation with the countries who are sending them is a good approach.

Japan uses guest workers and gave them airfare to return to their homes in South America.
