Biden and Company doing


Mar 9, 2021, 7:46 AM

an amazing job at locking up kids and stacking them on each other in FEMA camps. Just beautiful to see. He is so compassionate.

While we are at it and encouraging lawlessness, why don’t we get the Middle East into some more conflicts. We definitely need to start lobbing more bombs.

Biden is making Trump look better every single day.

100's of missiles were launched in the Middle East under Trump. Biden has a long way to go. One thing that is concerning, on the surface, are all of the unaccompanied minors at the border tough. It's seems like they feel they can send the kids here now and they will be coming by the thousands. There were 7000 that just showed up in February alone. That is going to be a mess. Part of the Dem "solution" is supposedly to give those corrupt countries financial assistance so that the kids won't feel the need to come to the US. That will never work. That would be a complete waste of money and wouldn't fix a thing.

back (I got this info from an AP article - but I don't have the link handy). So they are being sent alone. Some have "sponsors" in the US; others do not.

The US is paying travel expenses to get these kids to their sponsors. It costs $775 per DAY to house them.

Or at least a vote that shouldn't then be considered a purely Republican one.

A majority of Dems in the Senate and 40% of the house Dems in a vote that was obviously going to pass (allowing Dems in more liberal districts to appease their home base regardless of how they felt).

Just my opinion. Regardless, I'm not sure how that plays into this discussion?

155 against and I think 104 for. Most were against and it was by a relatively large margin. It was bi partisan support though, because Dems were needed, but the majority of Dems opposed. Basically every Repubs supported it. The Dem voters in this country were against overall too. Repub voters loved it. They were naive back then. They learned and that's part of the reason they were so happy that Trump didn't do anything similar or as naive. The country learned the hard way. Some of us knew right a way that you can't nation build in the Middle East and that it would end up a mess. Repubs talked of freedom on the march etc etc.

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/rally-round-the-flag-opinion-in-the-united-states-before-and-after-the-iraq-war/


"Not surprisingly, Republicans (75 percent in favor) backed war more strongly than did Democrats (only 40 percent)."

I just think it's a bit of a stretch to claim the moral high ground on a regrettable war because only 40% of Democrats supported it. That's a large chunk of Democrats.

If you personally want to claim "the right" on this point based on your position, that's totally understandable. But to disavow all ownership because of either a house vote on a easily passing resolution or because only 40% of the Democrats polled supported the war, seems to be a bit of a stretch.

Yes..the majority did not. I agree. 6 out of 10 opposed. Even out of some that supported, they were not enthusiastic. It was all of our lib shows too that opposed. That time period made Jon Stewart huge. The left wing media opposed the war generally. The right wing media supported it and were thrilled. The vast majority of Repubs by a mile supported the war. That war for the right was similar for the right as to the support for Trump. I remember back in those days I would go on cutigers and I would be attacked and called a traitor by Repubs for not supporting it. Repubs loved it. Libs, not so much. There were only a handful of us libs on there. We were all attacked, with the Repubs on there having unanimous support for the war. They were so excited, but yet clueless as to where it was all going.

Bipartisanly wrong. It was based on lies told by the Bush administration and public sentiment still fresh off 9/11.

Those Americans who rabidly called for the war and attacked those who spoke out against it were fringe right wing. That same side has preached a hypocritical and downright lying support of Trump's opposition to the war and keeping us out of conflict. They forget they were the most rabid in favor of it back in the day. As for current members of this board, xtiger is a good specimen of that. He'll pretend he didn't support Iraq, but those of us back here during that time remember the stances he took.

Mine was a simple question as well, and you're avoiding it.

In your scenario, are you referring to a kid showing up by himself? You didn't make that clear. You said he just showed up (this isn't really happening, but I'll entertain it).

First, yes we can send him back. Not sure where you got the idea we can't. If his family is back in his native nation, we can return him. Remember Elian Gonzalez? We got him back to his family in Cuba even as family in the U.S. tried to keep him.

If he has family in the U.S., we can house him in a humane facility (not cages) until we are able to locate them.

Why do you think the only alternative is to toss him in a chain-link pen?

It sounds more like you need to go back and clarify your scenario because we really don't have solo children crossing the border.

Catahoula...I agree with you on most things. That said, I don't mind the kids having walls made out of fencing. It's easier to keep an eye on them too. I don't think they should be separated from their parents though. Their accommodations should be weak though overall. 7,000 kids alone in February. How many adults? No way should give them a nice place to stay. Unless we are trying to encourage millions of people to show up waiting for a nice place to live for free for a bit.

I support the chain link fence. We can see them. It's safer for them, but yeah it would be good if they could stay with their parent/s. On the other hand, they don't want to lock a bunch of kids up with a crowded room of adults and strangers. It's a tough situation.

Mar 9, 2021, 9:41 AM

deserves more credit than he gets.

Everyone clutches their pearls about the detention centers at the border. Everyone mocks him about "having the Mexicans pay for the wall." But most of us want a sovereign nation and a secure border, and an open border during a pandemic can't possibly be justified. Not when people weren't allowed to visit their dying parents. It would be indefensible.

Trump did a lot to dissuade the flow of illegal immigrants to our southern border. Mock his wall claim all you want, but late in his term, Mexico and central American countries were actively dissuading the migrant caravans well before they got anywhere near our country...at the southern border of Mexico and even in Central America itself.

Hopefully for all of us, Biden won't have to worry about the pandemic as much for too long. And of course he won't be able to handle the political fallout from detaining all the immigrants that his rhetoric has encouraged to begin migrating. So I'm sure he'll fast track them through.

I'm afraid this is a disingenuous approach to the kids in cages issue. Trump wasn't making a tough but necessary choice. He made a cruel one that he and Jeff Sessions made very clear was punitive, and it was used against immigrants who went through the legal, proper channels to come to America. The simple goal was to punish and hurt people to the point of dissuading them from coming.

You assert that there's no other viable alternative to tearing kids from their mothers and tossing them in cages. You're also defending the practice when an immigrant attempts to enter the country legally.

They weren't tossed into the streets before. They weren't put in luxury suites. They were kept with families until they could be processed. They were only taken from people if the adult wasn't their parent or relative, and then they were placed with a relative in the States or sent home.

Let's remember: You're defending tearing children away from their moms. You're either too stupid to consider there are other viable alternatives, or you actually enjoy the cruelty. There's no in between there.

When you reply to a person's posts, you address them, not talk about them in third person. That's what sane, normal people here do.

I was actually responding to your first statements in this thread. One where you said

“ If you think it's okay to put children in cages under any circumstance, that speaks for itself and there's no point arguing with you about it or trying to convince you otherwise. You can't be helped as a person.”

You then moved goalposts to trump like you normally do because you are completely obsessed and started hurling insults.

So I will ask your dumbarse the same question... what would you do differently than what Biden is doing now which as you admit is putting kids in cages. What is the alternative to what is going on right now? The only options I see are build bigger and more luxurios facilities, or release them on the street.

Now I will wait for you to move goalposts again.

That wasn't moving the goalposts and you don't understand what that means. You very much need a class on logic and philosophy.

Nobody is calling for "luxurious" accommodations. You and people like you rush to that as an extreme in a lame attempt to defend that you actually enjoy immigrant kids being locked up.

I stated simply in another post. Put them in humane conditions until they can either be relocated with family or sent back. And ONLY do this in cases where the kid is alone or clearly not with a parent.

Stop taking children away from their parents. Period. End of discussion. There is no alternative argument to this.

Actually I was talking in response to what is going on in the Biden administration and you pivoted with separating kids ie moving goal posts.

And here’s my point you absolute idiot.....

Humane conditions now may not be humane conditions tomorrow. We can’t just build facilities out of nowhere when we have an influx of migrants. I know you think that’s realistic, but you’re an idiot. Do you think Biden predicted 100k migrants in 1 month?

UNICEF has some decent ideas.

If you're really interested you can look through the International Detention Coalition database that compiles alternatives to detention used in different countries around the world.

The Biden administration has also signaled its intention to launch a pilot private refugee sponsorship program. This Cato institute blog post goes into some of the ways this could be implemented.

This is not an unsolvable problem, and it is certainly not as simple as either building "bigger and more luxurious facilities" or "releasing them on the street". It's unlikely that there is some silver bullet solution, but unless we are willing to explore other options there will be no solution.

Obama just let everybody in (Catch and Release); Trump


Mar 9, 2021, 9:29 AM

tried to stop letting everyone in and created a humanitarian crisis (by trying to hold everyone).

Biden can't do what Obama did (I'm sure he wants to) because of the pandemic - so now he has a humanitarian crisis on his hands as well.

Maybe we should put a mine field all along to border, other than the major ports of entry.

Wouldn't work. The cartels would just send kids through

to blow up a path through the mine field.
