Date 26.06.2018
US Vice President Mike Pence met with Brazilian President Michel Temer on Tuesday to discuss bilateral relations and the region's Venezuelan migrant crisis.
During a joint press conference in Brasilia, Pence spoke directly to Central American migrants seeking to reach the US: "To the people of Central America, I have a message for you," Pence said. "Don't risk your lives or the lives of your children by trying to come to the United States on a road run by drug smugglers and human traffickers. If you can't come legally, don't come at all."
"Hold on to your children, build your lives in your homeland," Pence said.
Pence told reporters that his message to Central Americans came "straight from his heart."

Pence was named after his grandfather, Richard Michael Cawley, who emigrated from County Sligo, Ireland, to the United States through Ellis Island, following an aunt and his brother James, and became a bus driver in Chicago, Illinois.[12][13][14][15] His maternal grandmother's parents were from Doonbeg, County Clare.[16][17]

(14,494 posts)He's essentially saying if you don't have the money to buy airline tickets into one of our international airports with asylum papers in hand, don't bother and just stay there and die. Further, just in case you're refused entry, better have money for a return ticket.
This attitude comes straight from the Repug's love of economic inequality and authoritarianism.

(22,166 posts)Politicians like rump and pence, are ruining the profession forever w/ their continuous lies and deception to the American public. The only way they can achieve anything is to lie to themselves w/ fake facts and then fix it w/ a fake solution, and then claim it's fixed. All a bunch of baloney.
There are of course many people who truly dedicate their lives for the betterment of others, but pence and rump, NO. They wish to exclude fellow Americans from their discussions because they are simply democrats (look at rump and all of his so called cabinet meetings to pat himself on the back). So much for being president of the United States. In fact, I don't recognize rump or pence as president or vp, since they don't acknowledge us, democrats, and never will.
I wouldn't be surprised if they figured out a way to deport all democrats, e.g., must have 3 generations of americans in family history, else they get deported!
