It's all about MONEY, government contracts specifically, to hold and house the illegals.

Why don't we just send these illegals back instead of arrest and/or detention for extended periods of time?? What's the long term plan for these people if we don't immediately send them back??

Would you have made this same post if previous administrations ENFORCED a law that was already in place? Money would have still been made regardless of who is in charge at the time.

I am in agreement with you that illegals should be speedily sent back to their native land but please don't post something 6 months from now crying about the cost of sending deportees back and who is making that money.

Agree with Ted. A manufactured crisis. Russia collusion didn't work, obstruction of justice isn't working, Stormy Daniels didn't work, (BTW, whatever happened to Michael Avanatti?). David Hogg won't work. What's next? The media are playing right into Trump's hands and they don't know it.This latest "crisis on the border" won't work either once the facts come out. My brother, who is a Methodist minister was once as anti-Trump as anyone. He now sees him as a sympathetic victim of extreme political bias.

I agree there is extreme BIAS against Trump.   Of course, I understand he brings quite a bit of it on himself because he is just such a colossal A-hole and seems to relish that fact.....But yes, it is true, these liberal idiots are playing right into his wheelhouse with these tactics.

It's interesting how little the coverage was given by the major networks to the nasty and vile tweets sent out by Peter Fonda yesterday.

And I'm hopeful that even DaBurglar would agree that those who are comparing the seperation of children from their families to Nazi Death camps are way off base.

Yep, this will backfire on the media. Trump's new executive order will keep families together all right, but now the kids will be detained with their family members longer than 20 days.

He's just doing what he can to keep up with his sister Hanoi Jane.

Senator Diane Feinstein, D-Calif, for one.

Do I dare compare Peter Fonda's "Anti-Trump Impulses" to DaBurglars?
