Trump, playing by Hitler's playbook will take it to the next step soon...lethal gas or perhaps shooting them will suffice.

I am ashamed of what our country has become because of the trumpers who take delight in sticking it to anyone that does not agree with them. I actually recommend tear gasing the wh at this point!

from Europe on ships were processed in the country and either admitted or turned away.

These immigrants seeking asylum at the border arrived by foot not by ship, but still IMO should be processed and admitted or turned back.

Sun Nov 25, 2018, 09:08 PM

treating these people like criminals - incarcerating them or attacking them with gas - overlooking the possibility of desperation - seeking asylum or refugee status ... like many of their ancestors were doing - looking for a chance at a better life.

A few hundred years ago, "white people" took this continent from the North American Indians. I saw a thread on reparations for blacks. What about the Indians?

This planet is not getting any bigger. We have to learn to get along, share good fortune and help each other. This stunt at the border or locking up 14,000 immigrant children flies in the face of all of that. Those photos of the children being gassed are embarrassing and are not representative of a lot of Americans.

I pray for the safety of the migrants. This is ridiculous and I'm afraid for those poor folks wanting nothing more than a better life.

I've been hearing rumblings among Republican voters about the "need" to do something like this since DEA agent Kike Camarena's murder in '85.

They really hate Mexico.
