I applaud you then Sincerely =d> You are definitely in the minority, but you are pitching in and doing more than paying lip service to the issue.

In all honesty its her more than me. I'm to lazy and often apathetic. She isn't. We will see where it goes. She does volunteer (aside from her regular work) with both communities. I do help her out with some of that. Some of it is with Hispanic community centers but also with a womens shelter that serves a mostly Hispanic community. The shelter has pretty tight security concerns and is less inclined to allow her to include me. I've done a few things. I am certain not everyone involved is here legally but I've seen and heard some things that strikes at my humanity more than my nationality.

To be clear, it has not happened and could fall through for several reasons making me in the end full of sh*t. I'm not claiming to have done something I have not yet. We are very seriously looking at it to the point of her exploring her contacts and looking at new houses for this purpose. It has nothing to do with the latest news though. We were looking at this beforehand.

As you already know, I have a hard time with your "if you empathize with these criminal's kids, take em in" argument.

If you could afford the commitment, and the crime was one you thought was unjustly prosecuted for some reason, would you take in the kids?

Just saw Trump signed the action to cease family separation at the border. There's still a zero tolerance in place (which is good). Hopefully official legislation don't stall now indefinitely because of it.

Also, hopefully they don't keep the children in general population and the families have their own quarters.

It's a crime to crash our borders....criminals are being detained(some with children)….Adult detention centers are no place to place children...

I just don't understand where you think the children should be placed where they will get all their safety and health needs met

I hear all the talk about the children, but no one has said "I'll step in and take 2-3 of these poor children into my home, and feed and clothe them until their parents come for them(if they ever do)"

if 1000 people would financially support 2 of these children indefinitely they wouldn't be being held in a detention center and the issue would be moot

I get it. Perhaps that's why everyone has lost their minds with this guy. He's not a "Kick the Can" guy. He wants things fixed.

Que the 3rd grade vernacular now...

Knee jerk emotional responses without analysis has been deemed bad by the current administration.
All those blindly backing the hideous idea of unnecessarily separating kids from families because they were told it would be good leverage for other Trump unnecessary goals...your support is no longer needed.

The POTUS thanks you for admiring testosterone sound bites, but he has looked at reality and realized it is human abuse. He is, after all, flesh and blood.


WOW! I support Trump's unprecedented grasp of reality. Join The Donald and the rest of us with a conscience. Surely, together we can find a way to prosecute illegal immigration effectively without looking like the azzholes of the world.

And there's no need to assume libs want them to be allowed in...so let's knock that off the argument.

How many will abandon the new Trump?
How many will continue to bob their heads without thoughts in their noggins?
I'm applauding...so far.

I don't watch CNN, Fox, or any of the opinion news, to be perfectly honest...though tail says it's why people who think like me have been told what to think.

I read two newspapers, and watch a local news broadcast in the evening. Even get some info here from the rare links I open.

Yet somehow sound bites and stuff intended to create/shape opinion finds me no matter how careful I am to not step in it.

Yesterday I saw a 10 second thing from Fox with some blond woman (who is probably well known here) who said with a straight face while posing in front of a pic of kids laying on silver thermos blankets on the floor of a warehouse..."some liken it to summer camp, or private school".

My first thought was she had been told to do what was needed to soften the visual atrocity clearly presented. With no sound, your last thoughts would have been summer camp etc.

Any chance many cons are not coming to their own conclusions through enlightened independent brilliance? and aren't some of them not also elected officials?
