Obama separated families at the U.S. border, like Trump is doing 2018. Jeh Johnson admitted this — Google it. The only difference is Obama separated fewer families due to Obama’s “catch and release” policy, which resulted in a 97 percent no show rate for those in the country illegally at their required U.S. Immigration Court hearings. Recent photos of kids in detention facilities — which drew righteous indignation from Democrats in 2018 — were actually photos taken in 2014 at Obama’s detention facilities.
Why didn’t Democrats call Obama a “Hitler” in 2014? Where were Democrats’ protests in 2014? Democrats’ hypocrisy is clear to moderate and independent voters, foreshadowing another Republican red wave in 2018.
Democrats’ new demand to “abolish ICE” highlights their “Open U.S. Border” policy. How do you break out of jail, or break into a county? You disarm the guards and police. Why do Democrats hate America and U.S. citizens so much?
What a preposterous lie. Johnson said exactly the opposite of what Brown claims:
"“From seeing these migrants up close and personal at border patrol facilities, when you see mothers literally clinging to their babies after they have carried them literally all the way from Central America, I could not pull a child from her mother,” Johnson told me ...” “And I couldn’t ask someone in the border patrol or ICE to do that. Nor could I even float it as a deterrent measure. It’s just something I couldn’t do and my colleagues couldn’t do in the administration.”
What separation there was during the Obama terms was separating kids from human traffickers. Unlike the barbarous separating of children from their actual parents, then losing track of them like the proto-Nazi actions of the Trump monsters.
Of course, the racist supporters of Trump applaud this terrorism, because it's ok if the victims are brown. Then they lie to themselves some more, saying that this happens all the time when you commit a crime. But it isn't a crime to present yourself at the border seeking amnesty. That is the procedure in law. And 85% of the separated families were amnesty seekers.
That's why Federal judges have halted the practice of separations and required that families be reunited. What Trump's thugs were doing was illegal.
And the final lie, that Democrats are demanding open borders, is simply that: a lie. Democrats want borders patrolled and controlled in a legal, humane way. Obama increased enforcement along the border dramatically: apprehensions and deportations were up significantly from the Bush years. The six Democrats in Congress-and that's how many there are at this point-calling for abolition of ICE are also saying to replace it with a better organization. They are not, as the Party of Traitors claim, calling for outright abolition.
OK Dan, you are clear on what you don't want. So then what is your solution to the problems that plague our southern border. Try to answer in an articulate way without calling anyone names. Can you do that?
30 years ago there were 11 million illegals. 30 years later STILL 11 million? Excellant communication don't you think? Lupe...papa died send over Javier. Really? If there were no jobs available they would not come. Start with American employeers who turn a blind eye. Enforce those rules and regulations but we can't because 45+ years of no new taxes has weakened our infrastructure and there aren't enough worker bees to check every , farm, factory, gardening business, car wash, restaurant, hotel, facilities job to find illegals. You get the life you pay for congratulations! Enforce those laws and that apple is gonna cost $3.00. Your choice. No tax cheap labor don't blame employeers. Tax? Enforce labor laws and pay the price Employeers.
And President Reagan gave amnesty to nearly 3 million illegal immigrants. What does one have to do with the other? Can you imagine the Republican heads that would explode if Trump tried that now?
About three years ago I stopped reading the SM daily journal as, it seemed to me, extremely liberal. I posted some comments and they were taken down. I assumed my comments were deemed to conservative. I recently returned to the SM Journal to check it out. I am glad to see there are some conservative opinions and comments. I will again be reading this journal on a daily basis.
I like the new abolish ICE mantra coming from some Democrats, it is a sure fire way for the Republicans to keep the House and Senate. The Democrat who introduced the bill to abolish ICE in the House is now claiming that he will vote against it. I think we know where the American people stand on that idea.
We know where Putin stands> On Thursday, the Russian Defence Ministry aired Hollywood-style footage of many of the new weapons Putin unveiled in March being tested or in action.
It showed a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet taking off from an airfield carrying the new Kinjal hypersonic missile and then launching it while airborne.
