I am asking you how many extra illegal immigrants do you think we are dealing with?

Now, why can't American citizen Sally keep her baby with her in jail?

I did. The law states we cannot keep children in detention centers over 20 days.

This is a disappointing response to a very specific question about your words. Exactly how many extra are a few?

Send them back where? Why not suggesting that we help them through to Canada?

What happens when the lawsuits are filed against the executive order because children are being held in detention centers over 21 days? If it remains ...

Thank you! :smile:

@"Baden" Now Sir, with all due respect please answer my question.

Trump's use of language is not something I agree with. No one should be referred to that way.

Dude, the problem with housing children in an adult detention center is that there are laws against it. When American citizen Sally is arrested for a ...

Exactly how many "extra" is a "few"?

No dear friend. Not in a post 9.11 world.

I don't disagree Maw but that doesn't provide a solution to the illegal immigration hurdles for us to clear.

Such an adorable pup! Don't let @"Baden" pup sit for you! :smirk:

@"Maw" @"Jeremiah" Why is it that the posts that analyze the problem are the ones that are responded to and those posts that offer solutions are disre...

That solves nothing. We will have another generation of DACA kids.

Not much gets done until we hit a critical mass on anything. In 2014 the profile of the illegal immigrant was a young, male from Mexico, sneaking acro...

@"answermebot" Hmm... Welcome to The Philosophy Forum ….. I think

@"Agustino" Are the businesses around you down about 1/3 since this time last year?

I am glad to hear you are doing well~ :flower:

What port of entry is closest to you?

I was just referencing a compliment. It was tongue in cheek towards Hanover :wink:

Me too. Thank you.

@"Maw" The reply that is moving me has been posted on The Philosophy Forum Facebook page. Thank you for your contribution.

Your moving me Maw, what can I say? The link to your immediate family changes things in my heart as I have a lot of family links to other topics and t...

What about the 65k unaccompanied minors that were taken in in 2014? How are they being sustained?

Maw, if that was the makeup of all of those who are trying to seek asylum were what you suggest, it would be a lot easier. The problem is that mixed i...

Am I defending it or am I trying to explain what is happening on our border?

@"Maw" Maw, that is a chilling link.

Just another manic Monday.... wish it was a fun day...an I don't have to run day... :sweat:

Perhaps. Here is a first hand account vs the man charged to enforce the Zero Tolerance policy, trying to separate facts from fiction. There is a sugge...

You have stated the Zero Tolerance policy is wrong and it needs to stop, right?

You have stated it is wrong and it needs to stop. You have offered nothing in the way of a solution.

Are you reading my posts or are you just responding emotionally?

What is your solution?

I was trying to clarify with @"Benkei" as to what the law is, so I care and he responded so I think he cares. I don't think anyone here doesn't care a...
