Can someone from Arizona here debunk

[samplegirl]

the children in cages and their missing parents..

This was a post from someone informing me that I don’t know much because I’m not from Arizona on kids that parents cat be found.

He writes:
With all due respect, please do your homework!! These so called parents you are speaking of are not even related to these children. These children were decoys, the real parents were either paid or the children were abducted in Mexico. Once these adults who are posing as parents are caught they will not go back for their SO CALLED children because they are not related....so the kids wait while our tax dollars are spent aiding them back to their real families in Mexico!! Bit of advice, never talk immigration with people raised in the southwest...we are way more educated on this subject!! This is not political this is a simple fact!!

1. nothing to debunk. This claim is wild bs from right-wing talking points and provides NO EVIDENCE

[lagomorph777]

2. Check these reports: DHS admits they can't (or won't bother to) find the parents.

Even Trump's campaign director tacitly admits that they have torn the kids from parents (as he lies about them not wanting the kids back):

11. Thank you

That was quite nice of you. I’m not going to spend my day arguing with a moron. I hate when people think because they live in that state that it makes anything they say they say the absolute truth!

3. When You Hear 'Do Your Research' Ma'am, Know You Are Addressed By a Loon

The claim of superior knowledge here is actually an acknowledgment of bigoted ignorance, and a claim only bigots know what really goes on.

Tell it to perform anatomically difficult sexual acts, and move on.

5. Well I already knew that

when he starting telling me to do my homework.
I’m not that informed on immigration or Arizona.
So I figured what better people to ask that fellow D.U.ers

7. Fair Enough, Ma'am

I am in a particularly waspish mood this morning. I meant no disparagement of you, and apologize if that was how my comment struck you.

18. Excellent point

It is a typical response when someone doesn't want to clarify or document their assertions.

4. It's pointless to argue with someone like that

6. I'm in Arizona. Unfortunately, his education is seriously lacking.

8. Someone who believes that can't be convinced

any more than a flat earther can

9. Taxpayers are paying $750 a day for each immigrant held, man woman or child.

Someone is making a lot of money from this, plus the contracts to build
the camps, plus the idiotic wall that must be removed.
President Biden, after you are sworn in, 'Tear Down this wall'.

[samplegirl]

12. Where do you suppose that money

is going???

[panader0]

15. Well, $750 a night could get a very fine hotel room,

and a gourmet dinner. Instead of a tin foil blanket on the floor and the cheapest food they could
provide. Someone, the contractors or a middleman is making bank.

19. Or trump campaign

funds.

14. The good thing about the wall is there's hardly anything to tear down.

trump has completed only a few miles of actual, new wall. Most of the work done has been on refurbishing existing walls at border crossing points.

10. When they start that crap, double down

and tell them a wild story about you seeing on the internet that Tя☭mp has sold all of those kids to his pedo friends for big bucks and he is afraid they'll find out if he releases his taxes. If they say that's not true, just say all he has to do is release his taxes.

16. Your good

these people really aren’t worth arguing with.B But he’s no authoritarian just because he lives there.

13. My suggestion is delete this post and block

Whoever replied to you.

[samplegirl]

17. He didnt post on mine

but on a friends. Just trying to help him out!

20. Honestly a waste of time.
