    Think there seems to be some confusion between "illegal immigration" and "asylum seekers", including in this situation. I'll keep my opinions to myself on why and how that conflation occurred, I see those two terms being often used interchangeably when they (most of the time) are not.

    Twitter and Facebook are mass-media. Their model uses real people (and bots, mostly of their own making) instead of paying reporters and journalists.

    They have the means and ability to censor anything posted by anyone, and routinely do just that with a left-leaning bias.

    If they allow it to be posted they assume liability for it just as the NYT assumes responsibility for their writer's stories.

    These fuckers have nicer tents than I do. I wish I had rich parents so I could be a professional protester too. Let's see how much trash they leave behind after they get bored camping.

    I'm just curious.... if every other country has immigration laws and police that enforce them..... why can't the US?

    I heard Canada does the same thing we were doing, but everyone loves Trudeau.

    I have read that these horrible horrible laws were originally put into place by Clinton, and have been running for a long time. People are only now finding out because it's all being attributed to Trump.

    I'd get called out for linking it but there are youtube videos of cab drivers taking "refugees" to illegal border crossings to Canada. In huge quantities.

    Free shit is awesome. Even really reduced shit. You see it on black Friday when 100s of people line up at best buy.

    I remember Bill and Hillary complaining about illegal immigration back in the day.

    What surprised me recently was how Obama really was the "deporter in chief"

    I thought it was bullshit because of how they counted but I was wrong.

    One way it could be all partisan bullshit is if there is no actual issue at the border - if illegal immigration isn't a problem of any sort.

    But if there is a problem, then it does matter how it is dealt with, which makes it not partisan bullshit - unless everyone actually agrees on how to deal with it but are just pretending to disagree.

    If there is no difference between Trump and Obama on immigration issues, then clearly Trump's entire campaign on the issue was partisan bullshit.

    I love how all these people pretend this is a new thing. Like Trump has somehow singlehandedly destroyed the country.

    "This is America now" lol.

    Where has this jackass been?

    I hadn't heard about the wall Canada wants to build on the US border. Nor have I heard about Canada taking the children away at those illegal border crossings and putting them in cages and shipping them across the country. I look forward to hearing the details.

    I honestly don't know where they go after they cross. The canadian authorities warn them but don't stop them. I do know they sped up the asylum process and now 70 percent or so get approved.

    “Omg they are tearing families apart”

    Meanwhile the states for years have been dropping bombs on countries through drone strikes killing innocent people and kids. Outrage makes sense...

    “Collateral damage”

    There's always something for the whataboutist to point to. Drone strikes are bad? What about WWII? WWII is bad? What about the black plague?

    Yet you get all outraged about a few college radicals.

    Yeah, it's odd what other people choose to care about...
