As I said elsewhere, let's assume, for a moment, the parents and kids ARE blood family members.

Here is a corollary to this saga.

If Mrs DoodleBob and I were scofflaws and were pondering illegally entering Lichtenstein and thought the likelihood of us being separated from the little DoodleBobs was high, we'd stay at home. We love our kids too much to take that chance for a AAA rated country.

To be fair, this threat of separation was small under the Obama regime. And, to be sure, a parent may face a Hobson's choice in staying in, say, North Korea vs risking separation. I get it.

But Mexico isn't NK - it's not a sh**hole, remember? And Trump has been around for about 18 months - everyone knows there's a new sherif in town.

So...the question to ask is: what does it say about the parents, that they're willing to risk separation from their flesh and blood, in breaking the law?

The protestors should take the unaccompanied young ones home with them.

So...70,000 kids from - wherever - just walk off from their parents’ homes, and head for our Southern border...wha????

Parents didn’t try to stop them?

Are they using the USA as a “post abortion” site, to dump kids they don’t want?

Why aren’t the weepy crowd of lefty-weenies stepping up to legally *adopt* these urchins?

Why is a kid over 16-years-old classified as a “child”?

Will no liberal take over sponsorship for any of these “poor, deserted, children”? Be responsible for their welfare, food, healthcare, education, security, etc., under penalty of law?

If you adopt a wild horse, don’t you have to prove to the government that you take care of the animal?

If none of you libs want to take these “poor, deserted, children”, then, turn them around, send them home, and STFU.

The problem is, no one wants to be responsible, but they think the Government owes the world a living.

Wrong!

These kids made it to an age where they were able to “make it” to our borders, so they’re either enabled, put up to it, or, are part one of a scheme to use to reunite the adults with the kids, on OUR side of the border.

It’s a Trojan horse scenario. Nip it in the bud.

We would then have to shoot thousands of liberal moonbats when they went rabid dog with outrage.

You say that as if it's a bad thing? (/sarc)

Apparently the invader families don’t have a single problem with separating from their kids.

So why are Americans whining about it?

You know what helps separate the kids from their family? The welfare states which literally pays women to have kids as long as the father is not in their life. Welfare state usually leads to jail for a lot of the young males, prison yet another system that separates people from their family. Come, libtards let’s get into this what pixy tears apart familes, because you lose.

I’m not playing into this faux outrage and faux crisis of children being separated from their families nonsense.

“What will happen to them”

A minority will be self sufficient. A handful will be successful and be on the Nightly News every other night. Over 50% will be a net drain on taxpayers.

Seems to be an obviously coordinated and manufactured ‘outrage’ by the Democratic Party and mainstream media.

Gee ya’ think? Lol
They think this is a winning issue, but it’s not.
Some of the biggest reasons Americans can’t stand illegals flooding the borders because they bring their kids with them and it allows them to get on social programs and flood the public schools wreaking havoc and causing a saturation level that’s already bad in some areas. The left always goes for the children angle. Remember all the Syrian refugee camp reports, the media would go grab a little kid and the mom to evoke sympathy. Still most Americans were not for that either, no matter how many sad kids they showed on CNN.

Also where exactly do leftards think we’re going to put all these people anyway? These so-called environmentalists who want to protect all the trees and stop progress and business development. Yet they have no consideration of the environment when it comes to illegals flooding the country...very strange.

So these men and women in Sheetholia have all the fun, keep having kids they either don't want or can't feed, and dump their unwanted offspring on American taxpayers.

And our dumbass politicians and liberals are more concerned about aiding and abetting this slow-motion invasion than maintaining law, order and the integrity of the nation.

If liberals are really so concerned they shpuld pool their money and build care centers back in the countries where these kids originate so the kids don't have to make the long, dangerous trek to the US border.

The insane media and libs don’t care when babies are aborted and torn out of the womb and tiny body parts are sold; the insane media and libs didn’t care when for 8 years Obama did this, but now they do; the insane media and libs don’t care about an illegal alien shooting a father and/or mother and leaving children behind for others to take care of...

Oh no, the insane media and libs only care when it fits their agenda and wants to make the Conservatives and/or President Trump and the Americans that voted for him and support him...the insane media and libs don’t care about America or Americans only what suits them and which way the wind is blowing...

It should be interpreted as an act of war that Mexico allows this.
