Discussion: Trump Indicates That Family Separations Are Deterrent For Illegal Immigration

To paraphrase from Guardians, he’s an a-hole, and he is 100% a dick.

The world has been working to reunite twelve thai kids with their parents. And they seem to have pulled it off.

This §resident is doubling down on separating kids from their parents.

'nuff said.

It’s my understanding that the regime is preparing for even more people to come over the border in the near future (sorry, don’t have a citation to give). Now if that’s true, this is just outright BS. If they’re not preparing for more people crossing the border, then this is just sadism against a vulnerable population. Either way, this horrendous situation must stop.

Lies and straw men. The trend of illegal crossings is downward and this is sadistic psychological torture directed against an ethnic group to please a racist base and to show what a tyrannical regime can and will do. Let’s keep reminding ourselves and everyone else what the truth is. Tell everyone you know this is not normal or OK. Write your reps, contribute if you can, stuff envelopes and knock on doors.

Members of the administration have often flip-flopped on whether or not the child separations are designed to scare people off from entering the country illegally.


Just wait until they start taking your children away from you for showing up to vote without two forms of photo ID.

This was always the goal. “If you come here, we’ll steal your children and hurt them. So don’t even think of coming here.”

Meanwhile, we don’t have enough workers to build the growth Trump is promising.

We just celebrated our 242nd birthday as a nation, and this is what we’ve come to – children are kidnapped and held hostage in order to preemptively punish their parents for a ‘crime’ they haven’t yet been tried for or convicted of.

Don’t forget to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Oh, and clap for veterans. They’re fighting and dying to preserve our ability to persecute downtrodden immigrants.

I didn’t hear the whole sequence, but it doesn’t look like Trump was pinned down on the question of whether he intends to comply with the court order. That’s the bigger issue. Instead, he got off his usual talking points about illegal, legal, border. He never addressed the plight of children.

This is not a winning issue for Trump. Democrats are fighting to unite families and are doing so with an intensity and a lack of concern as to political consequences. That demonstrates our values and it wins respect and votes.

“That’s the solution. Don’t come to our country illegally. Come like other people do. Come legally.”

And when you come legally and find the door closed and step away we will arrest you and take your child away… Still have fine white folks awaiting those fosters(servants).

How about some zero tolerance for violations of campaign laws? For conspiracy/collusion for foreigners to influence elections in America? How about some respect for the FBI and DOJ people trying to investigate “alleged” violations of our election laws by the Trump campaign? And let’s don’t forget zero tolerance for federal income tax evasion (what else can hidden tax returns mean?)…And let’s take another look at how Melania Knaus Trump got her start as a model here and later got American citizenship - think any laws were broken at any time during this process? Zero tolerance is like that snake Trump likes to talk about - you never know who it’s going to bite.

Baron Trump should pray that he is never kidnapped for ransom.

I woke up this morning and I’m sad to observe that the nation and the shitshow are beginning to merge.

The Bush Admin’s greatest strength was message discipline. No matter what the story was, they were obviously right and you were wrong for even asking the question. Dementia Donny doesn’t have enough attention span to follow the story on Blues Clues, let alone his reasons for taking kids from their parents.

When everything you crap is pure gold, just say the first thing that sounds good and move on. It’s what got Trump this far.

Wait, I thought the separations were due to a “Democrat Law,” because, “Democrats GAAAVE us the law!”

This is what no brains, no planning, no strategy looks like.

It seems to me that this is evidence that they are opening defying the court order regarding young children. My question is what will the courts do? Who, if anyone, will they hold in contempt of court? Will there be arrests?
