If you don't want your kids taken away, don't break the law.
First ladies shouldn't criticize anything the sitting President does.
It's Bill Clinton's law. This has been done since 1996. Why haven't you said anything before now?
Morons employed on TV have said, "It's like summer camp" and "Those kids could be young gang members" and "Those people are just pretending to be families" and "The kids are crisis actors."
It appalls me how fast the lies spread and how convinced these people are.

(1,188 posts)Thus the intention would be "Our Erstwhile Friends," meaning our former friends.
OUT is a typo (should be OUR)
ERSTWHILE means former

(389 posts)I thought it was some kind of DU code for something.
Who are these erstwhile people? Banned DUers? Repugs?
Would it even be helpful to know?
RoBear
(1,188 posts)is that the intent is countries we've turned out backs on--as at the G7 summit.
That works, but might not have been the original intent of the poster...

(48,955 posts)that this is all Obama AND Bill Clinton's policy/fault
and that dems need to kill themselves instead of pretending to care.
At least that is what I read in the comments of my one reliable fb connection that is "Pro Family" "Pro Adoption" (her children were adopted from Asia) and "Pro Trump".

That about covers it.

(772 posts)The MS13 is a serious gang issue here. Many parents have turned their children over to these monsters, many times under duress, and they are saying these children are theirs. Once they gain entry, the kids are abused, trafficked, etc.
