    ...Al, what makes me laugh is the skewed unemployment stats that Trump tries to use only takes into account the people who are actually trying to get a job...they don't count the MILLIONS of sorry POS that are perfectly able to work but are to sorry to work because our giveaway government has allowed them to stay on government cheese for free and still continue to do so. Hell, if they gave me a free cell phone, food stamps, EBT cards, etc., I wouldn't want to work either.

    What a lying, delusional, self-promoting, clueless POS of a POTUS...only thing worse are his shrinking base of angry sheep...can't believe they are still on board with his mindless BS....not to mention the spineless members of the slowly dissolving GOP, who make me ashamed to admit that I was once aligned with the Republican Party.

    Oh, and now Melania Trump is making a "surprise trip" to the Texas children's holding facility...c'mon Donald, if you really wanted to make a political grandstand play in order to draw attention away from the shit storm you created by yourself, wouldn't it look a whole lot better if you went yourself?


    ...again, what a POS.

    ^^^The thing I don't get about these people illegally trying to enter our country is if they are trying to do so, instead of "detaining" them, why don't we just force them back across the border from where they came?
    ...it should be Mexico's problem, not ours.

    I love when Trumptards are presented with facts...it's hilarious to watch that vein on their neck bulge out just before they have a grand mal seizure.

    ...and using their very own fake news in an ill-advised attempt to disprove what they perceive as fake news?...funny stuff.

    ...SOP for Trumptards...when confronted with facts and ultimately unable to dispute them, their only answer is their default answer, which is to interject Hillary fucking Clinton or previous administration/s...classic denial.

    ...sieg heil !

    Yeah lets completely ignore past administrations immigration policies that didn't contain the word "dream".

    I'll put it as bluntly as I can, any US Citizen injured or killed by an illegal alien are the DREAMERs.
    Anyone illegally trying to immigrate (read Sneak) into this country are CRIMINALS. Whether or not they chose to drag their children into a CRIMINAL ACT is on them.

    You want to come to the US.....this is a nation that follows the RULE OF LAW. Violating that should immediately disqualify you from ever getting to set foot on free soil.

    What's even worse is that this has become a political football. Shame on anyone that engages in partisan bs over this. WE should ALL agree on the RULE OF LAW. Its black and white, not gray, not grey and definitely not graey. The only way to solve these issues is to stop parsing words....illegal is illegal. period. no special circumstances, no buts or ifs. The downfall of the American society can be summed up in its inability to take an unqualified stand on anything.

    First offense is a misdemeanor. Separating children from their mothers is not American and you know that. America's built on Family Values. Illegal sure, Un-American definitely....

    There is no justification for Trump's actions and you know that ...

    UN warns Trump's decision to detain children 'may amount to torture'

    Shame on anyone defending partisan stances on any issue, these days. It's obvious within this post, most of us have not blindly supported either side or Party, Politician and/or Office in this posts tenure.

    Your right: "The downfall of American society can be summed up in its inability to take an unqualified stand on anything". When we have POTUS who was/is Unqualified for the position to begin with, then what else can be expected to follow-????

    If Hillary and Obuma were GOP, Trump would of ran as a Dem; as you know he was a Dem prior. Tho' his loyalties to any/either party have been only for his own personal financial gain- period. Trump's art of the deal isn't about pleasing people, or a community; let alone a nation; it's all about profiting at others expense...

    Reagan was both a Dem and GOP in his lifetime. Reagan was the last POTUS capable of unifying the majority of people in this nation. Even RR made some mistakes, whereas Trump is a mistake- period. . Trumps admin has and continues to use tactics, dumb decisions, lies, deception and EO's to divide a nation, "it's us or them mentality". Blind unchecked partisanship, can and has given birth to a fascist mentality and/or imperial nationalist view.

    The problem with Politicans and Parties these days, is- both Parties lack Politicans capable of bridging partisan grand canyons. There are fewer politicos than ever capable of Unifying a Nation. Both parties too often represent one extreme or another, no more middle of the road politics and representatives capable of "pleasing people" on both sides of the fence, (enter Abe's quote on pleasing peeps)...

    Blaming prior Admins is an ages old abused tactic, and in this case, Trump/Sessions have created a bigger problem. What's next an Executive Order War Decree: to declare killing of unarmed women and children is fair game, after all how else will insurgents learn unless you hurt them where it counts most...

    Trump's an embarrassment to our nation, and will be the death of the GOP.... But you knew that ???

    and no increased immigration is not the answer to lowering crime, or reparing the economy-

    ...^^^the hypocrisy of the above statement is mind-blowing.

    ...seriously, WTF does past administrations have to do with what's going on NOW?...and what's so hilarious is that Trunptards want to lay ALL of the blame on the Dems, when the GOP is just as much to blame.
