    If they had let Trump build his wall, there would be no need for detention camps.

      That would ruin the narrative...

        That's what I would be saying every time they bring it up, if I were Trump or on his team. "It's your fault, you didn't let me build the wall"

        Not to mention Congress is the one who set up the laws in the first place that say we have to detain the illegals seeking asylum and separate the kids. If they don't like it they are the ones with the power to change it, or make it better.

          I think the Democrat's slogan is "Sure. We make the laws. But we don't want you to enforce them."

            Obama sure didn't. He just ignored whatever laws he didn't like.

              Wouldn't it be nice if people cared half as much about the situation on the ground as they did about how they could score points out of it?

              It's unclear what we can do, though. Donations of toothpaste, etc. have flowed in, but the border patrol has refused them all.

                Being fair, if something adulterated gets by them and hurts a kid, the Patrol would be rightfully blamed. One nutcase on either side trying to 'prove' something would be all it took. Much safer to just buy them what they need.

                  I also understand there are a significant number of kids where the adult they are with is not an actual relation

                    I been seeing photos of this on Facebook and sadly they were being titled with false captions claiming Trump was responsible for this.

                      Um, okay - I don't see the relation to what I said.

                        Assuming they are getting what they need - which is in a bit of doubt at this point. We are not set up to handle this many people - an overwhelmed system can't help but make mistakes.

                        My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                        If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                        This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                          This has been going on for awhile now[1] with the latest started by soap opera actress Nancy Lee Grahn when she posted some pictures that got widely circulated.


                          but, like many others, "accidentally" cropped the pictures removing the original timestamp ... from 2015. Hmm, who was president back then? smiley hmm.gif

                          Could it have been the Obamessiah?











                          1. For example:

                          After it was already exposed the fake fact checkers at Snopes declared that the image was merely "miscaptioned"

                            Um, while there are a number of funding issues, grosses of soap and toothpaste aren't likely ones. The point about being overwhelmed is part of why the Border Patrol is refusing material donations, in my opinion - how the heck could the police that, too?

                              It's one of the reasons for seperating the kids.

                              If they're being trafficked you want to seperate them from those who may be their traffickers whilst you sort out the stories.

                              Yes the majority probably aren't but with stats of between 10,000 - 20,000 kids trafficked from Mexico to the US annually, it's something you want to get right before you put the kids in the same holding as the adults.
