Originally posted by @tom-wolsey Yep, there you have it folks. The mob screams bloody murder in a full rage... then Trump takes action since Congress wouldn't... and you condemn him for it. What you're actually mad about is, with the stroke of a pen, he removed this talking point from your arsenal.
Democrats were saying last week that he could solve this problem "with a stroke of his pen" and yet he refused to do so, until it was obvious, even to him, that to do nothing endangered him politically.
Originally posted by @tom-wolsey No. Although at least one of the crying children on video was, in fact, a hoax. The child was legitimately crying, but the context of it was completely made up. The child was at a protest behind a fake cage that was used as a prop in the protest.
Give us your source for this outrageous accusation.

I hate to use CNN as a source for anything but I'm afraid you wouldn't trust some other source.
"It is not the first time that alarming photos of caged children have been wrongly attributed to Trump administration policies. A photograph showing two immigrant children sleeping in a fenced enclosure, which sparked outrage when it surfaced last month, turned out to have been taken in an Arizona detention facility in 2014." - CNN

Just because a law exists, doesn't mean it has to be enforced, particularly when enforcing such law endangers people. It is up to the president to develop proper policy.

[b]Trump refuses to impose new Russia sanctions despite law passed by US Congress
[/b]Link says new law allows for not puts into place sanctions.
The new law allows Trump to enact sanctions.
If the first paragraph is correct you are a moron.
Originally posted by @tom-wolsey Nope. Sorry. It's a fact. The "guardians" shall we say, often cannot be proven to be the parents of the children.
Anyway, the talking point is done, the executive order was signed because Congress wouldn't act, and now you can move on to the next talking point. You should continue to concentrate your faux outrage on matters that involve children ...[text shortened]... ver crimes committed 12 years ago doesn't seem to have worked. Oh well. You'll find something.
Wow, it cannot be proven beyond a doubt? So you mean to say that they don't do DNA tests on people who cross the border illegally, and they don't have ironclad documentation from their stable and reliable government back in Honduras? Amazing.
In your mind I bet it's perfectly justified to set up concentration camps for children if it turns out that in 1% of cases those kids aren't actually children of the people who claim to be their parents, but they're cousins or children of deceased friends or some such.
Originally posted by @tom-wolsey As horrible as the Trump administration is, I would expect the intellectuals here to have better manners.
