Who’s showing the American people those caged kids now. Anyone? Are any DNC sponsored commercials reminding the American people that this is still a stain on this country?
This needs to be spoken of every single day., along with all of the other nonsense about taking information about opposing candidates from foreign countries and all the rest of the stuff. The MSM is letting us down and the only way it gets coverage is if we maintain the same talking point strategy every time a camera is pointed in their direction.
The reports we got last week were the most detailed we’ve had in a long while. It’s a matter of time before video follows. Btw, the House could be doing a lot more here on oversight and I happen to believe this should also be funneled into an impeachment inquiry. If you can’t impeach a POTUS for committing gross human rights violations, lying about it and covering it up, then what the heck are we all doing? Did we really hire Nancy to pass a bunch of bills that will die in the Senate? They’re worthy measures but if you’re in gov’t now, do something now. Push buttons. Move barriers. Do what you have to do to get attn to this matter and get things to change. Protecting kids should be a no brainer for the Democratic Party.
I’m going to suggest that ICE and Border Patrol personnel are limiting access to migrant camps and photographers and reporters who might expose the conditions there. But there’s nothing to prevent observers from writing about what they see and smell.
@katwillow There’s not much to show because trumPP’s uniformed thugs have control of access.
You don’t start an earthshaking inquiry then abandon it for a month’s recess coming in August. This is almost the end of June. Critters will start becoming impatient next month for the August recess, their heads will already be in recess if not their bodies. Beginning in September they’ll be in session until holiday breaks in November and December, so to answer will there be anything left, I’d have to say there likely will be.
Immigration is never going to be addressed in this country in meaningful, bipartisan way. It’s a political hot potato.
Schumer, Reid and Pelosi did not want to help Bush pass any immigration reform because they did not want Bush to claim a win there.
Obama signed DACA only after a couple years of intense pressure.
I’m not going to cut and paste any excerpts from a NYT article that explains all the failures of Democrats and Republicans over the years. If you have time (it’s a long article) read it yourself:
Once you do, you will not be very optimistic on either side of isle addressing immigration reform.
We will have funding for walls, fencing, security and some DHS policy tweaks, that’s about it.
