The WLB Soon To Be Unhappy....

[Wyrd of Gawd]

You can always tell when people are full of crap about the immigration issue. They trot out the BS about the American Indians while overlooking the fact that the Spanish and Portuguese destroyed everything south of the border. And now they (mostly Spanish) want to invade the US and destroy it as well.

As I've said before, I would deport all illegal aliens within an hour of their apprehension. That includes ALL, regardless of where they came from.

You can always tell when people are racist and are full of hatred for their fellow man. They do nothing to contribute to the actual topic or bother to address valid points made by other people and they always have an agenda (that white privilege bs) to get out. They mostly misconstrue the facts as presented and try to shift the goalposts to suit their needs.

Labrador: Change 'Catch and release' policy; don't encourage migrants to bring children

"What makes these tragedies so unnecessary is there’s already a process in place for those who are legitimately seeking asylum. They can show up at any embassy or consulate abroad or any U.S. port of entry to make their asylum claims. Tellingly, these migrants refuse to make their claims at designated points and continue to pour into our country illegally. This strongly suggests that most migrants are coming to the U.S. for economic reasons, not because they have valid claims of persecution."

Yep, some Congress Critters aren't very credible on all issues = Raul Labrador is Idaho's 1st District congressman.

I'm confused then as to why you used him as a source in your post.

Many of the people who had their children seized were legitimate asylum seekers presenting themselves at approved point of entry. It was completely illegal to treat them as illegal immigrants, btw.

We should change the law.  There's no reason for anyone from the Western Hemisphere to seek asylum in the US.

So..for clarity..first you post an op ed stating that these are avoidable tragedies and the parents are at fault.  When someone notes..in point of fact, this is not the case..you then assert that such tragedies should be made utterly inescapable by changing the law?
