Giddy-looking Jeff Sessions calls deporting children the compassionate thing to do


In an act of cowardice, where he refused to take any questions, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the Trump administration’s termination of DACA, the program that allows immigrants who came to the United States as children to remain in their homes.

Sessions has long been a staunch supporter of anti-immigrant policies, and he could hardly hide his delight in announcing this dreadful policy reversal — a reversal that could affect 800,000 immigrants and cost the United States $460 billion.

This, according to Sessions, is the “compassionate thing to do.”

During his remarks, Sessions also spewed a number of repeatedly debunked lies about the supposed drain on American resources caused by immigrant children and that their very presence in the United States somehow increases crime rates. Those claims are blatantly false and are nothing more than a perpetuation of ugly racist stereotypes that have no basis in fact. The vast majority of so-called DREAMers are employed or in school and are contributing to the economy and to the country.

Watching with a friend of mine, and we both noticed that.

The orange shitstain has gathered a group of deplorables to do his bidding.

We've all seen a lot of horrible crap since the shitstain took office, but this one really bothered me. And his glee was just sickening.

A normal conservative will tell you to go fuck yourself behind your back. A compassionate conservative will not only tell you to go fuck yourself, he'll do it right to your face, with a big shit-eating grin on his face.

motherfuckers. They are so filled with hatred for the weakest members of society and those who can't fight back. I hope there is a hell and I he burns in it for eternity.

It would be just as compassionate.

Heartless and soulless bastards.
