ability of people to come here from Central or South America the lose the people willing to work the farms (vegetable/fruit or meat/poultry). You need to find a new work source. Children might be programmed so to speak to be a new version of essentially slave labor.

1. To be as cruel as possible to people who are not white (per Stephen Miller).
2. To hold them "hostage" to get the Dems to pay for his fucking wall.

8. Great way to get the parents to cross over again illegally.

I would crawl over red-hot broken glass to get my kids back.

As any parent would.

So, you don't want them to come back?

Give them back their children, you stupid fucks!

so he has no natural parental urges and empathy. The only thing he would crawl for is a bucket of fried chicken or a well done steak with ketchup.

5. I think the parents have to go to trial now. They are not being sent right back, but put in jail

This video explains the process in more detail. However, in response to what Rachel just said about the parents being sent back without the children. It sounds like they are so disorganized they don't know where the kids are. It's a total cluster fuck because like everything Trump does, it was never thought through. They don't give a fuck!

They think that democrats will be so cowed into submission by this that they will agree to the $30 million for a wall.
Fuck them. I hope the Cheeto just crumbles into orange dust and gets swept up and dumped in a sewer.
Just heard the tape of the children crying on Rachel. These fucks deserve any foul pestilence that can be brought down on them. Twice!

The religious right will swoop in and play pious. They'll offer to take these kids in to accomplish two things; 1) political propaganda 2) bolster their numbers (captives for cheap labor/whatever).

They are a lot of people on foster care program getting pay for having the kids in their house collecting big checks, abuse them, once the kid is 18 is useless move to the next one, this time with trump will be plenty kids for predators.

18. Why can't families with children be detained together pending determination?

If they’re housing kids five to a room, why couldn’t a family just use that room?

And Trump calls us “haters and losers”?
