How many of those crying children in MS are "American Citizens"?

I'm guessing quite a few.

Guess our media stenographers have either failed to ask this question, or they just don't give a fuck.

Bringing this up because I just went off on my nephew for posting some stupid shit on Facebook from some group called; "I hate whiny liberals". Poking fun at these sobbing kids.

I've tried, I really have, to not let this political shit make me hate members of my own family, but if I don't draw the line at Donnie Shit for Brains... there is no line.

Fuck this orange piece of amphibian shit for what he's done to this country.... and fuck every Hate Radio station, news media, or PEOPLE to that have enabled him.

He's shown us the evil that was always there in friends, family, co-workers, Shipmates and neighbors.

They are not white and that is all that matters to them. As far as trump is concerned none of them should be U.S citizens anyway.

12. Bingo. If children were treated as fully human, that right would be recognized.

Rich guys can import and replace their trophy wives with a marriage and divorce and marriage again... no ten year waiting period... and if they run into trouble, find another.
But these American-born kids can’t import their parents so easily, and those parents are kind of irreplaceable, too.

I've seen no discussion in the media, but I feel certain some of them were.

They go after the weakest amongst us.

They aren't conducting raids in the Mcmansion neighborhoods.

They're going after the working class poor, and the sad thing is, the white racist middle class in places like Mississippi and Kentucky think they won't come after them.

Those racist fucksticks in Dumbfuckistan 'Murika ought to be kindred souls with these hardscrabble meat processing plant workers, but they can't because of their racism and bigotry.

How fucking much could we get done if they ever joined with these immigrant workers to demand living wages, benefits, pensions and working rights and protections?

Retrumplicans and their corporate masters will do anything to make sure that never happens.

8. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of them are US citizens.

At least some definitely are, and if the arrested parent is the sole caregiver, they are supposed to be released from ICE custody. But, of course, that's not always happening:

In the case of 12-year-old Angie, an ICE agent told her landlord that the girl’s mother would be released within hours since she was the only caretaker of the child, an American citizen.

The agent said the woman would be “released this afternoon,” per a video obtained by The Washington Post ― but according to the paper, Angie’s mom had not been released as of Wednesday night.

deal with. ICE needs to be abolished and a new organization formed with people who are not monsters.
