Can someone explain the lack of outrage in 2014 when all of the unaccompanied minors were being held in "cages"?

Why an issue with it now? And no I am not referring to kids being separated from their parents, just the initial holding and processing

Immigration has always been a hot issue. There’s always been furious debate on both sides going back to Reagan and beyond.

Remember they guy who gave millions asylum and amnesty?? My parents took advantage of that amnesty and they loved him for it. We all did...

The influx of unaccompanied minors and resulting crisis of space was a temporary situation solved as quickly as possible. It was not the administration's policy under the false and untruthful guise of law. And it was not thinly veiled racism.

@Graylight yeah so they grab any kid and cross the desert. Use your head.

@MasterLee Ah, the latest spin on immoral action... The kids are just being used by the 'bad hombres.' Maybe watch some of the video being shot down at the border and it might change your mind.

And just what is this imaginary invasion designed to accomplish?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@Graylight it's not spin it's fact. The law says if you cross the border illegally, you get arrested and the kids are taken to a shelter. There are 25 border gates. If you try to go through a gate, you can choose to not cross and keep 'your' kid with you.

If you do the crime, you get arrested.

Say you are a minor and want to buy alcohol. If you take it to the counter and you are unable to show ID or if you prove you are not old enough, the clerk turns you away. If you know this and try to steal the alcohol instead, you get arrested and separated from your family regardless of age.

No spin, just facts.

Btw the FBI seems to be getting smaller now 😁

Just the left doing as commanded

Trump needs to declare pelosi, waters, and Cummings houses as detention centers and ship them there at their expense for abdicating their congressional responsibilities.

They weren't being directed to be outraged in 2014. If the"outraged" had half a brain they might notice how they are being useful idiots.

An attempt to divert attention from the hearings on Capital hill is all it is.

@sunsporter1649 ya know... I don't agree exactly, but b you're not wrong, IMO.

There has always been noise about immigration, honestly, but the noise is louder because instead of just coping with a difficult situation, it's now one of Trump's culture war centerpieces.

@katielass ya know, I stopped reading what you were saying after the third projection about intelligence.

I think you had a point there, but I couldn't get through it to really consider it.

@TexChik Not really just liberals, but... Umm.. what name do you call conservatives who don't buy into Bannonism?

I forget, but I'm sure you've got a label or two.
