Here is what the libs don't like.
When their party members (or prospective party members) violate the law (when their children are with them), the adults go to jail.
The children have always been taken to state facilities, where the court will determine what to do with them.
In this case, the dem-socialists are objecting because it's affecting their voter base. Where were their objections during the eight years of obama?
crickets...

One thing I learned is that many of the REAL families who sneak across, are very poor. They can't afford to stay somewhere in Mexico for 4 months, waiting for their hearing.
A Dominican Republic lady who was recently approved at the San Diego entry point, said that she rented some space in Tijuana, with others who were applying for US entry. It took 4 months for her to gain entry approval.

It isn't just Mexicans who are crossing the border.
The libs are so pea-brained. They should realize that building a long/high/deep WALL will end this "crisis" they're whining about.

But people are suffering across the world and its your duty to comfort them.
Even though the border being open is how the cartels screwed their homes up so bad out there.
Then we stop the cartels from being able to get rich selling drugs here in America. Seems like it would be easier if we worked with other countries to crush the cartels.

With some of the American Factories down there making parts for our cars and such and even building cars, we are actually making it better for many Mexican people. They aren't getting rich, but they can actually support their families.
I think that we should streamline immigration but vett the people well before letting them come in. Maybe having a flop house with rooms in Mexico close to the boarder would be a good idea, just supply them with the ability to fend for themselves, don't give them room service.
The answer is not to let anyone come into this country just because they come to the border and cross into the USA, No country allows that, that is stupid.

Trump created the crisis and Trump can stop it.
Ninety percent of the mostly-teen illegal immigrants flooding over the Mexico-U.S. border won't show up for their immigration court hearing, meaning at least 135,000 of the youths will simply vanish into the country this year alone, according to a key House committee chairman.

I'm not "lib" (though I may be left of center). You know that Trump's "wall" has been steadily modified, right? First it was across the whole border. Remember? (no that won't work, that's not what he really meant, that was just a figure of speech). A big beautiful wall (now it's "see through"). And let's not forget that Mexico is going to pay for it. Remember? (that whole notion sort of...faded).
A wall won't work for anything as other than a bandaid. A very expensive and pointless bandaid.
Berlin had a wall. With machine guns. And people crossed.

Are this nutters for keeping muderees, drug dealers and other criminals together as a family as well? I am curious how this is supposed to work. Maybe we need to start building prisons with family suites.
What is their solution? Send people back without due process? I am okay with that if they waive their rights. Point them back to whence they came.
Of course not.
So, we just let everybody cross?
If that's want I wanted, sure.
I'm sure you have a great idea to let everybody in.
Start by doing something about the law, which obviously doesn't work.
If not, how would you do it?
Heh. You think there aren't any illegal residents here?
If you you were living in a border town instead of Hawaii.

Previous administrations created the crisis.
What crisis? Illegal immigration from the southern border is down. The only crisis that these people are protesting is the new, so called, "no tolerance" policy that Trump imposed.
Seeking asylum is not illegal, period. Families seeking asylum in the past were processed, given a court date and released. If their case was rejected, then they were processed for deportation together, as a family. Don't forget, Obama deported so many individuals, and families, that he was called the "Deporter in Chief".
Charging asylum seekers with a crime, before knowing if a crime was actually committed, thereby separating families, is this administration's scheme to deter asylum seekers. You know, the ones who sit on the side of the road waiting for border control so they can turn themselves in.
What's worse, this administration never put a procedure in place to track these kids to their parents, so they could be re-united. They didn't think that far ahead! That's the unconscionable actions that these people are protesting.
True asylum seekers process the border legally. They ask for asylum, they don't enter illegally.
The Democrats are outraged because they see illegals as votes. Nothing more.

I am aware of it, there are many passing through Mexico from Guatamala and other lower countries too.
