Discussion: US Suspends Crossings At Key Border Port As Some Migrants Approach Fence

Hebrews 13:2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

No, but it is possible to act on the issues from someplace besides ignorance, greed, narcissism, and criminality.

And the so called OG settlers, the Puritans, were fleeing persecution because their vapid dogmatic fundamentalism drove everyone around them fucking crazy. Seems old habits die hard in this land of open perfidy.

Gassing children. Their lungs are hugely susceptible to injury.

This is evil.

Rushing the border is a bad tactical move by the immigrants. They lose sympathy that way.
Using tear gas on the immigrants is also a bad idea. It better not be the military doing it as there are laws about the Army doing law enforcement inside the US.

You do not treat children in any other way than kindly. You just don’t

Just open those borders. Let them all in. Every single one from Central America. That’s at least 35,000,000. Let the Mexicans in too - 125,000,000. Why stop there? Let in the Venezuelans, Haitians, and Cubans - another 40,000,000. Put them all in San Diego. Right? Democratic OPEN-BORDERS INSANITY.

Gonna play well in 2020. Trump is a shoe-in with this kind of Democratic bullcrap idiocy.

But who will Mexico turn to for help? China?

Two Scoops hasn’t said a word about either of these incidents that I know of. Two hours ago, well after the Crimean situation, he was tweeting about the Clinton Foundation. Oh, such a corrupt foundation it is! That’s what on his mind, his own goddamn foundation and the threat the investigation of it poses to his crime organization. No evident recognition of Crimea or this.

trump has no care for core values or foundational principles and only notices them should votes be provided by doing so. He has only hatred for “the browns” because they are poor and don’t automatically offer him undying loyalty and excessive drooling praise.

And when the executives in charge only see it all as a problem of optics rather than process, nothing will change. Miller, Whitaker, Perry, et al -and of course Agolf himself- have never created a system that dealt with complex issues of need, supply and demand, constituents, or service-oriented functioning, even at the level of a lemonade stand. This massive dynamic would freak out the best executives, who would be scrambling for a solution other than base-ginning and tear gas. We have executives in charge who mimic Shkreli. They can’t even begin to realistically frame the problems and start organizing resources for a decent response.

Normally, that would constitute a declaration of war against Mexico.

America kidnaps immigrant children from their parents and put them in concentration camps, and now America is gassing them at the border.

Nobody will go to jail. Just like during Bush/Cheney and Obama/Biden. Killing, torture, kidnapping are all legal. All Constitutional.

No democracy, no justice.

Fortunately you had no say as to whether Alexander Hamilton could migrate to the US from West Indies which had been destroyed by a hurricane when he decided it was time leave.

Their base is not bound by international law and treaties, tRump and his asshole cronies are. His base would vote to make anything they don’t like illegal, including Americans they don’t like. I understand the base props them up, but the base doesn’t make the rules and laws.

Whether tRump likes it or not, people have the right to request asylum. He made this worse by demanding that people present themselves at port of entry, now CBP is closing the border to prevent people from presenting themselves? This is bullshit and an embarrassment.

Rest assured that explicitly detailed film of this atrocity will be broadcast all over the world, and particularly among our enemies as an example of American brutality against brown people.

To all the Trump supporters, I hope you are proud, but shame on you!

For myself, I am mortified and embarrassed to be an American.

It looks more and more likely trumpp may not be running in 2020 because of his criminality which will be all be revealed very, very soon. So no shoo-in. The party as stupid and corrupt as it is will not nominate an unindicted co-conspirator.

The irony in all this, of course, is that American farmers are screaming for laborers while the Hondureños just want to be safe and work.

I used to sympathize with American farmers but no longer. They’re getting everything they deserve. Elect a disaster and reap a disaster. No pity.

BTW I see Team Toadglans has now closed the pedestrian crossing at the Otay Mesa. There’s going to be a slew — hundreds if not thousands — of businesses left shorthanded come Monday.

Cockholster understands economics as well as he understands incest laws.
