  • Voters Blame Parents For Border Children Crisis...

    Good...

    According to a new Rasmussen poll, a majority of Americans blame illegal immigrant parents for the child crisis on the border over the U.S. government.

    The media has put a hyper focus on the separation of families at the border over the last several weeks, leading President Donald Trump to sign an executive order ending the separation. Current U.S. law does not allow families to be detained together if the parents are referred for prosecution for illegal border crossing.

    However, the Rasmussen poll shows that Americans don’t blame the Trump administration for the approximately 2,000 children who have been separated from their parents.

    54 percent of likely voters polled by Rasmussen said that they think the parents are more to blame for breaking the law.

    Only 35 percent said the government is more to blame for the crisis.

    Further, 54 percent of voting Americans agree with President Trump’s assertion that “The United States will not be a migrant camp. And it will not be a refugee-holding facility — it won’t be.”

    This is what I've been saying. Liberals are shedding big crocodile tears over the children being separated from their parents, yet they studiously refuse to say a word of criticism about the parents who put their children in this predicament -- not to mention subjecting them to the dangers of crossing the Southern desert on foot.

      Not to mention, most of the children in custody are unaccompanied minors.

        or the danger of being robbed and killed in the desert by the coyotes they hire to bring them here. Or just left to die when the coyotes run off and leave them.

          And we are causing these kids distress by putting them in safe, clean holding centers!

            Also from that bulwark of conservatism the Huffington Post:

            Source: 80% Of Central American Women, Girls Are Raped Crossing Into The U.S.


            As the number of Central American women and girls crossing into the U.S. continues to spike, so is the staggering amount of sexual violence waged against these migrants who are in search of a better life.

            According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.

            This year alone, immigration authorities expect more than 70,000 unaccompanied minors to come through the United States unlawfully, the majority of whom are from Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The number of unaccompanied Central American girls caught at the Southwest border has rapidly outpaced the number boys, according to a July Pew Research study.

            Through May, the number of unaccompanied girls younger than 18 caught at the US-Mexico border increased by 77 percent.

            The article notes that many girls leave their homes because they fear they'll be raped but that is exactly what happens at the hands of the "coyotaje."

              You are not only causing them danger, you are causing them tremendeous psychological pain. Good facilities is certainly not a bad thing. However it does not change the psychological aspect that you are all so eager to avoid which only shows you simply have nothing of substance to say about it and thus you try to ignore it.

                Like I said, not a word of criticism for the parents who put them in this situation.

                  Trying to focus away from the innocent children again, MM. It must be a really good point since you so consistently avoid using so obvious methods. As for the parents, even if there was anything to blame them for (which in very few cases there may be) then how does it justify the actions taken towards innocent children. Oh, I forget, you are not able to answer that question. Looking forward to see your next attempt not to answer the question.

                    I think the NOAA classifies that amount of spin as an F5. Do I get to claim that I'm making a good point because you impersonate a whirly-gig every time I mention it?

                    Nobody is turning a blind-eye to the plight of the children. I think the US is doing the best possible in a bad situation. Ideally, parents wouldn't endanger their children by dragging them across the desert and then further endanger them by committing an arrestable offense.

                      But MM! The INNOCENT Children! what about the INNOCENT children??

                      Charles' concern is pure fakery.

                        Once your opponents don't even try to make an argument against your case it seems they have a rather weak case.

                          You don't have a case chuck. All you have is overly dramatic accusations.

                            Says the guy refusing to condemn the parents for willfully putting their children in danger.

                            This is known as being hoisted by your own petard.

                              Another attempt to avoid the issue.
