Not its not. Manafort’s grown children can always go visit him at the jail at whatever the jails prescribed visiting hours ago. These illegal underage children can’t just go strolling down the street to find mom and dad at the jail.
Neither Trump or anyone in his family or administration said they like separating kids from criminal parents. The just want the criminal parents to stop their crimes.
Its time Dems stop their resist crap and fix the problem with legislation Trump will sign, one that includes the wall, and changes in the law to end the abuses, end chain migration, end catch and release etc.
That’s cruel. Speaking through a phone and dirty glass for 10 minutes isn’t very nurturing.
I wonder how the whole children-separated-from-their-parents narrative is going to go in the midterms among non-loony voters.
Swimmingly for Republicans, I’m sure.
The GOP controls both houses of congress, they could put a bill on his desk tomorrow if they really wanted to. I wonder why they haven’t? Hmmmmmm.
Tampering with witnesses to your criminal dealings is stupid. Seeking assylum from horendous living conditions … ehh not so much.
I fully expect them to do an about face on this here pretty soon to try and save face. It should be amusing to watch.
You missed it. A Hispanic lady whose son was killed by an illegal asked why Dems wanted her separated permenantly from her children. She urged them to deal with Trump and fix the border so more American mothers aren’t separated from their children.
Her story resonates with the more than 60% of Americans who want immigration laws enforced.
The LEFT has cried for the poor immigrant once too often, they are in no mood for that crap anymore. MS13 burnt it out of them.
Seriously… the difference is that American kids with parents in jail have a fall back…other family members or at the very least foster care system. These kids are in a foreign land…they come here with their parents without much choice of their own…and these two administrations have separated these kids from their parents kept them locked up, and that’s OK…American kids don’t get locked up in chain link rooms in a ware house somewhere. DO THEY.
And your last sentence. FLIP FLOP…now you are saying we shouldn’t be doing this with immigrant children when not 15 post ago you said Trump was doing this to fix the problem…and that the kids were being treated far better than when OBAMA did it. Oh my you are fickle. Which is it. They shouldn’t be doing it at all…or it’s ok to do as long as there is an outcome that fixes the problem?
Wow, that reply was chock-a-block with loony.
They are adult. How do you feel about Former Illinois GOvernor Rod Blagojavich being sentenced to 14 years and being away from his daughters when they were still in grade school? Huh?
Conservatives perhaps. But Republicans? Perhaps not…
Sixty-six percent of voters — including 91 percent of Democrats and 68 percent of independents — told Quinnipiac they opposed the policy. Whites with college degrees were likelier than non-college whites to oppose the policy, and young people of all races were likelier to oppose it than old people. Women were likelier to oppose the policy than men, and black and Hispanic Americans were more likely to oppose it than whites (though a large majority of whites still oppose the policy).
But by a large, 20-point (55 percent to 35 percent) margin, Republicans supported the policy:
But Trump says that it is hugely and biggly popular…so we should believe him and not Quinnipiac and the American people…
5% above a majority even within a self identified party is not a good thing.
Besides, it is all the fault of the evil Democrats and Obama anyways!
No it is not. But I was still shocked to see it that high even. Looks like the Trump cult is the real-deal.
First poll has been published. I believe that as this goes on the oppose number will go up.
American voters oppose by 66 percent to 27 percent Team Trump’s policy of separating children and parents when families illegally cross the border into the US, a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday said.
It really is amazing that Republicans on the hill will not call this president out. This might be the issue that changes that. The WH press briefing has been pushed back. I heard that they are getting Kirstjen Nielsen there to speak. It will be interesting to see if she continues with the lies that she was speaking this morning.
The WH staff has to know that this whole charade is not going very well.
I agree. They should let him out immediately. Start a movement.
What part of the House & Senate are not under Democrat majority do you not get?
