So many people really do think exactly how the media tells them to think.
Republicans control both House and Senate. They can put forth an immigration bill without Dems."Spearheading this enforcement?" These are our laws. They should be enforced. Democrats are the ones advertising our country as a haven.
What a POS. Your administration is the one currently spear heading this enforcement. Don't blame it on Democrats.

He has a point. I don't support this remotely, but he has a point.
Democrats bitched about obstructionism for 8 years. Now they're the ones doing it. Don't be surprised when the Exec plays hardball with the limit set of tools at his disposal.
You can make compromises, or get run over. Both are political strategies. The Democrats aren't innocent, here. They wanted this, too.
There has been one offer to Dreamers that was shot down by the left. A good one too. Lets see what they do with these offers coming up next.Republicans control both House and Senate. They can put forth an immigration bill without Dems.
Enforcing the laws doesn't mean separating families that seek Asylum, which isn't breaking the law
And we are legally separating them, temporarily.
Fact: They can seek asylum in Mexico.
Fact: They chose not to.
Pictures have been released of what is happening right now, so you can drop that talking point:You do realize those pics/videos were from the Obama administration?
Nothing about this is true. Trump himself held an immigration meeting and said whatever bill the senate agreed on he would support but once they did he opposed it. Then later on when the senate voted on 4 bills they backed the most conservative one. One that would not pass. One that got the least amount of votes and campaigned against the others.He has a point. I don't support this remotely, but he has a point.

I'd agree with you completely except in this case Trump has been reading a false narrative, look at the post above yours for proof. Now it's a matter that Schumer and Pelosi are defending MS 13 and protecting criminals. Trump is quoting a Democrat legislation that was put in place to stop kids that aren't accompanied by their parents or legal guardians from being exploited.He has a point.

There was a case over the weekend where there was one kid that was about 11 or 12 that got separated from his cousins, he ended up joining a group of two adult women (early to mid 20's) and their three kids. That 11 or 12 year old should be taken to a specific facility but the other three kids should not, they should be at the same facility as their mothers.
One of the strangest thing about the people that are defending this action act as though crossing the border is a felony, it's a misdemeanour. In what other situation do you see children taken from their parents for a misdemeanour?

What? How is nationalism dangerous?
What is barbaric about not wanting a culture that hates you in your country?
If the Democrats aren't willing to make a more significant overture towards a meaningful compromise on DACA, the Wall, or other priorities of the elected President's agenda, the leader of the GOP, which also enjoys widespread federal control, then the President can (and can be expected to) take matters into his own hands. I didn't cry tears for the Republicans who bemoaned Obama's unilateral circumvention of Congress even when I didn't think it appropriate (such as in root matters of the Bundy protests); play stupid games, win stupid prizes.Something Trump did unilaterally is the fault of the democrats. And apparently escalating to progressively worse things in the name of "compromise" (see: coercion) is just politics.
You don't agree with it, but you excuse it totally. Man, you're really banging em out.
To my knowledge, and this goes back FORTY YEARS, no. He never has. He's had lawyers fix things all his life.Serious question: Has the President ever taken personal responsibility for any error, mistake, negative outcome or perception of his own or his administrations actions at any point?
If not it really feels like the party of 'personal responsibility' has lost its way.
In what other country can someone be apprehended crossing the border illegally, then get released into the interior of the country within three weeks to await a court date that won't arrive for three years?
Unaccompanied alien children and entire families have been pouring across the southern border in recent years. End 'catch and release' and I guarantee you those numbers fall by at least 25%. People respond to incentives.
Edit: Also @MuyThaiTom above makes a great point. If you're a kid being raised by a single mother who also happens to be a prostitute, you're going to be separated from your mother when she goes to jail for prostitution and disorderly conduct.
you voted for this and probably will again in 2020
At the same time this was happening "sanctuary cities" around the nation were resisting Trump's attempts to enforce laws that are ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.Nothing about this is true. Trump himself held an immigration meeting and said whatever bill the senate agreed on he would support but once they did he opposed it. Then later on when the senate voted on 4 bills they backed the most conservative one. One that would not pass. One that got the least amount of votes and campaigned against the others.
The borders are already wide open, and people have zero incentive to come to our country legally. So people are already coming in unvetted.
