I'm sure people seeking asylum because they are fleeing gang violence spend a lot of time watching CNN and looking up asylum laws on Wikipedia before walking across half a continent. Ideally they should, since we force 4-5 year olds to represent themselves in immigration court.
But yes, as is typical, the right wing response is to blame the people with the least power in this situation rather than Strong Orange Daddy and his administration. An administration that made a conscious decision to separate children from their families and then, in the most cowardly bitch way possible, is trying to blame everyone else for their own actions.
One Degree wrote:Totally illogical as expected. They only exist due to our policies, therefore they are not the issue. They are a prodict of an issue not settled. You don’t have an argument against our current insane policies, so you use an emotional issue to distract from the real issue. Same transparent crap Democrats always use and can only be successful if people are really stupid or dishonest.
They exist due to a conscious decision from Sessions and the rest of the Executive Branch to implement the law in a way that had not been done previously before. That is, purposely charging the parents of asylum seekers as criminals so that their children are separated from them.
Seeing children being rounded up into camps should provoke an emotional response. Especially from 1° whose response, as expected, is anger that anyone should dare ever question Trump for his own actions. Trump could end this right now if he chose to.
Your hero separates children from their families and puts them in camps. Have fun defending that.
