This, right here.

I have no problem with any of our reps trying to get to the truth, but any and all of them should realize the partisan atmosphere prevalent these days, and take appropriate measures.

I find it funny how some wish to concentrate on trying to deny accusations that AOC has made yet refuse to recognize that it's also the IG and employees who work in these detention centers that back up some of her sentiments.

It seems they would rather rebuke the points of someone they have worked hard to tear down and mock as they find it an easier target to take on.

President Trump, speaking at the White House on Thursday, announced that he would "immediately" issue an executive order to get an accurate count of non-citizens and citizens in the United States -- a measure Trump said would be "far more accurate" than relying on a citizenship question in the 2020 census.

The move would make use of "vast" federal databases and free up information sharing among all federal agencies concerning who they know is living in the country, Trump said.

"Today I'm here to say we are not backing down in our effort to determine the citizenship status of the United States population," the president told reporters in the Rose Garden, after slamming "far-left Democrats" seeking to "conceal the number of illegal aliens in our midst."

"We will leave no stone unturned," Trump asserted. He called legal opposition to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census "meritless," but said the ongoing judicial morass in several federal district courts made it logistically impossible to resolve the matter before the 2020 census forms needed to be printed.

Prep for post election ethnic cleansing... POC, LGBTQ, Elderly and sick are all going to be targets until we rid ourselves of this insane alt-right movement and it's fascist old fool leader. Trog wars...


I think I remember you saying the same thing when Trump got elected the first time. Swish thought all POC's would be placed in reeducation camps too.

But alas, LGBTQ's have the same rights as every other citizen and POC's are suffering from the lowest unemployment rates in history. Elderly are enjoying their fat 401K's and the sick are able to try experimental treatments as a last resort in trying to stay alive.


But he brought tanks on trucks into DC... I found it quite sophomoric, but good grief it was going to be Tiananmen Square right here in the USA... RUN, HIDE THE CHILDREN...

I'm not spending anything on illegals. So your claim is Democrats were also forced to pay for a show republicans loved. Got it.

AOC(Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the biggest fraud in politics though. I can't believe how many people don't see this.

Lets see here:

AOC voted against:
-$800 million dollars in humanitarian assistance, medical support, and new temporary housing.
-$782 million to hire an additional 2,750 border agents, law enforcement officers, and staff.
-$563 million to support our immigration court system, including hiring 75 new immigration judge teams to reduce the immigration court backlog of 800,000 cases.

That's from her official voting record, the woman is a con and a fraud. If the people of her district have any sense at all she won't get back in office.

Pelosi has had to put her in her place numerous times because her and the rest of "The Squad" are a bunch of twits.

If AOC cared about those people as much as she says she does, she would have compromised and voted to give money needed to house and feed those people, and hire more immigration judicial teams to expendite these peoples claims.

She is a fraud and a con, folks really need to stop thinking she is something different because she isn't...she is nothing but a poser who was a good enough con to dupe her district with a good marketing campaign...

WOOOOOO there Bubba..

Nobody said that the border crisis wasn't real. It is.

But Trumpians like you and Fox News blew it up well over what it was with Dumb statements like:

They are bringing Drugs
They are bringing disease
They are bringing Guns
Etc etc.

That's the lie that Trump and his sycophants were telling the world.

Just like now, Trump is denying that several of the detention centers aren't as bad as the Times and others reported.. Yet, we have video and independent proof.

You just keep making stuff up....

Typical conversation with 40 cent.

40 cent; "We have our own people to worry about! We can't waste money trying to be humane to immigrants!"

Clem; "Okay then, let's find ways and create programs to help our own people then."

40 cent; "You're one of those damned Socialists!"

Well the claim was that some of you were going to start a separate thread for that. So....

I guess you can use this as an excuse not to try it if you so desire.

So are you saying that both sides are lying? That some percentage of immigrants are not bringing drugs, guns, crime, etc?

Or are you saying that the need to meet the humanitarian needs of the other immigrants is enough of an off-set to allow those with drugs and guns to pass through in the shuffle?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying the vast majority of them are not bringing drugs, guns and crime here. Now I guess we could mince words and call them exaggerations based on the phrasing, but at the very least they try to paint a false picture. And no, I don't care what party the person who is saying it belongs to.

Actually I'm not saying either. I'm saying that if someone applies for asylum they should not be incarcerated or separated from their families. In order to apply for asylum you must speak to a government agent. I'm quite sure if you are carrying any amount of drugs or guns it would be picked up at that point.

I'm not for allowing those who refuse to apply for asylum to enter our country. I'm also not for locking up and separating families that are following a 100% legal process afforded by law.

I also support arresting and deporting those that have exhausted the legal process and have received deportation orders.

Being a moderate can be hard.

Ideally we would all love to have a perfect system that flawlessly weeds out the bad ones and allows the good ones through at a reasonable rate.. at least I think that's what we would all like..

But since a perfect system does not now, and never will, exist... we have to err to one side of the other.... do we make it harder for the good ones to get through but give ourselves a better chance to weed out the bad ones.. or do we make it easier on the good ones, knowing that will allow more of the bad ones to slip through...

I'm looking for a yes or no answer.

I think Pit is saying to let anyone in that says they are going to apply for asylum, as long as they pass an initial interview. He doesn't think they need to be locked up, but that leaves the question of how do we monitor these people while the asylum process plays out.

What I'm basing my opinion on is not how a system can be perfect, but the laws that currently exist. As it stands, applying for asylum is a legal process. It isn't a crime nor is it against immigration law. So locking people up doesn't appear as any solution nor any type of proper response to following the law.

Now don't get me wrong, I do know that people will fall through the cracks. There will be people that do not show up for their hearings. But about 90% of those applying for asylum show up for their hearings. I just have a hard time punishing the 90% for the acts of the 10%.

There was 4.8 billion dollars approved to help this problem. A great help would be to hire more immigration judges with a portion of that money to help make the process quicker.

As it stands now, we are locking up families for months at a time for doing what our own laws tell them they are supposed to do upon arriving here.

I know my opinion isn't the perfect solution. Yet at this time, until a better solution is reached, I think it's by far the most logical way to move forward.

But the The 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), passed by not-Donald Trump, requires that people applying for asylum at ports of entry be detained for the duration of the process, which can take 6 months or longer...

In spite of the law, previous administrations have elected to release some (or many) of them.. the Trump administration has elected to release as few as possible.

If you are released, you are to pay a bail (which most can't afford) and you have to wear an ankle monitor and check in regularly with your case officer and show up to all of your appointed court hearings...

This isn't just for asylum seekers but... As of July 2018, there were 733,000 pending immigration cases and the average wait for an immigration hearing was over 720 days.. and growing because of lack of funding for immigration judges to meet the growing demand over the last decade....

As i said, 4.8 billion dollars were passed to fund such issues. There's no excuse not to hire more immigration judges to speed up the process. According to your own figures, it seems as if you are suggesting that there should be 733,000 in ICE custody according to the law.

We both know that this is an illogical process to follow. By your own admission, Trump has chosen to complicate and aggravate the situation based on his own decisions to detain more people when he didn't have to. That's why I've said more than once that this crisis was manufactured by Trump.

"American Citizens": Trump's new tactic to divide. If you think Trump is an idiot loser, you are not an American Citizen... Of course 40 loves that sentiment.
