I have to wonder if these people ever THINK - if they have any clue about LOGIC - or how stupid they look and sound when their arguments make the print circuit for all to see.
Tons of media reports on how horrible these children are treated all IGNORE THE ROOT of the PROBLEM (https://newslanes.com/2019/08/
All the ANTI-GUNNERS look to find ways to ignore the person responsible for pulling the trigger - preferring to go after the MANUFACTURER of guns.
Let's use their way of thinking to examine how these *children* are treated at the border.
They blame the Border Patrol for the fate of these children. The Border Patrol did NOT bring these children all those miles from their home country subjecting them to the stress and loss of their homes. The MANUFACTURER of these CHILDREN (the parents) are the ones who placed these children in the circumstances they are now in - NOT THE BORDER PATROL.
Let's go to ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAW (that includes the PARENTS, the SMUGGLERS, The corrupt political parties, the employers who hire the ILLEGALS, and the organizations that do all they can to encourage and to aid the ILLEGALS to come here, this includes the churches who provide sanctuary and the many government jurisdictions who claim they are SANCTUARY locations.
Let's STOP blaming those who are trying to enforce the law - let's SUPPORT them and go after the ROOT problem.
