Don't let them! It really is about reuniting families.

This is true family values.

and all the ideas of danger and uncontrollability that come with that.

Thank-you, Jonathan. It disgusts me how easily democrats adopt loaded ring wing phrases that turn a 'positive' into a 'negative' and make it into a defensive instead of supporting discussion.

I do like that Joy Reid calls out and doesn't allow any guest to talk about the 'Democrat' Party. She always corrects and ensures they use the words 'Democratic' Party. More media and our elected officlals need to do the same.

Isn't that how it all started?

Whatever we call it, it's probably on the negotiation table.

Is it worth trading that for DACA-Path-to-Citizenship?

Racists in some other countries often refer to it as "ant migration." Same intent.

My grandmother's uncle came here around 1910, got a job, got settled, and then brought more family from Latvia. That's the way it's always worked. Trump's grandfather came here from Germany, made money in the Yukon running fvcking brothels, and then went back to Germany and brought back his wife.

Having the first immigrant get settled, get employed, and then bring more family when there's a stable place for them to live and be supported is the responsible way to do it.

The Republicans have been enormously successful using terms like "death taxes" to refer to estate taxes that only affect people who are inheriting over $10 million, to blind their impressionable rubes as to what they actually are. There needs to be a lot more pushback against these tactics by the "mainstream" media.

came here as a family member. One or two come first and establish themselves or open a business, and then gradually send for other family members. It has been pretty much the same, if you go back to the early European settlers in this country. Family makes a society stronger.

The media needs to stop repeating these awful words and phrases that republicans generate. Republicans have few real talents (like governing), but they are masters at propaganda.

I thought of DT’s father-in-Law. The guy living in Trump tower and was a high official in the communist party.

Make him leave first or have one those USCIS surprise raids to deport him.

it's family reunification if it's white folks.

If it's brown families it's, well, you know.

That trump is the son of an immigrant and 2 out of 3 wives were immigrants?
That his daughter and grandchildren are Jewish, NOT christians?
Because that man needs more then one measly mulligan!

Kettenmigration

I see the word police are out again.

For generations immigrants have come here and worked and saved to bring other close family members over. This bigoted term make them sound like a flock of geese...

i knew his mom a little. joanne alter. she was a force of nature who did some great things here in chicago.
