Those are fighting words. The Latin Americans already have citizenship in another country. Most Trump voters do not.
As for this sudden sympathy for families being broken up by courts, geez, I think the democrats should shut up before people start pointing out that they do it to American people all the time. Including totally innocent people who haven’t even been accused of a crime.

Here is the deal: those kids are hostages. What the Republican party is saying is that they will keep harming children unless their version of immigration reform passes. When they say they can't stop the separations, they mean they won't, unless we all give into their demands.
They are gambling that they cannot lose the support of their voters by literally threatening and hurting babies for political ends. And you know what?
They are right. Their voters probably won't turn on them for this. Remember that when you hear a Rebublican voter say they vote for Trump "despite" his brutality and bigotry. They are perfectly willing to let him do any harm he wishes to people who are different from them if they think they will benefit from it.
Oh. And I thought all those people at my local Walmart are just shoppers. I didn't know they were the families of perfectly innocent people who haven't even been accused of a crime.
Did she take your kids and get a restraining order against you, Bill?
" The Latin Americans already have citizenship in another country. Most Trump voters do not."
So some trump voters have citizenship in another country? Wow! Trump was right! There was a large number of aliens who voted in 2016.
Who'd have guessed?
Elvis's manager Col. Tom Parker was an illegal immigrant from Holland. Did he have the right to live in America?
All those illegal immigrants given amnesty, who now work legally in the US: they have to show their tax returns; this proves their legal citizenship status. Those who refuse to pay their income taxes are put in prison: I refer you to Kent Hovind.
Someone refuses to show us his tax returns.
I'm sure you'd agree that anyone who can't prove their US citizenship by doing so should be put in a cage: until it's time for them to be thrown out of America, amirite...?!
Did this jackass just state that Stormtrumpers are not citizens of the US? If that's the case, then that's where all of Fat Nixon's "illegal voters" are.
Is Bill feeling the pressure now? Perhaps he, like many of his fellow republican filth, is getting nervous about how they look. I can only hope that this is what it takes to mobilize enough voters to vote this human garbage out of office come November. Fuck Donald for instituting this mess, & fuck every single person who supports him.
Parents are deported without their kids, who continue to be held in detention centers. And not minutes ago I read that alarms have been raised over the fact that no footage or information exists on where the girls are held. Trying to downplay that because CPS take children from neglectful and abusive parents and courts revoke the visiting rights of sleazeballs like you when there's danger of them trying to use their kids as an avenue of revenge against their ex or plan on indoctrinating them into a race war just makes it all the more evident that you're not fit to be in the same damned room as kids.
For all the talk about "zero tolerance" that isn't what this is about. Trump's own remarks betray that he's using those kids quite frankly as hostages to leverage concessions out of his political opponents banking on them being swayed by human decency. "Zero tolerance" is prosecution to the full extent of the law. It would be better demonstrated by sending these families back and blacklisting them for entry by legal means even as tourists. But this goes beyond what is legal as in addition to being unjustifiable, impractical, and pointlessly cruel asylum seekers at legal points of entry are ALSO being subjected to this treatment despite not having done anything illegal. They did follow the damned rules and they're still being punished and dishonestly portrayed.
It's not about illegal immigrants, it's not about those empty overtures of law and order at all. It's about conflating being an immigrant with being a criminal by default. Immigrating IS the crime. And similarly pushes to automatically identify anyone of a visible ethnic minority as an immigrant regardless of citizenship and generations of residence have redoubled their efforts to skew public perceptions.
"The Latin Americans already have citizenship in another country."
As your own dipshit of a monarch said, in a shithole country. In a place that more often than not is hopelessly corrupt and/or does not recognise their basic human rights, not to even talk about a social security net. I`ve a citizneship too, in a country I escaped last year because it was being run by fascistic theocrats, so far, at least the government of Canada acknowledges that I have a viable grievance there. Why do you fuckheads would want to condemn me and all those latina folks to a miserable existence in a place not fit for a dog, much less for a person? Out of sight, out of mind, eh? Excuse me, not me personally, obviously cause to you I`m white with blonde hair and blue eyes, all that actually matters to your racist brains.
Xenophobic, tribalist dipshits.
Except when they don't. Stateless people exist.
Wanna bet that some of the missing children are going to turn up in mass graves?
This whole argument stinks of a bizarre form of the "not as bad" logical fallacy, except they're trying to use bad things to excuse worse things instead of the other way around.
Seems that Donald Fart has a Zero Tolerance policy towards his own Zero Tolerance policy.
Sudden sympathy will be taken as a sign of weakness by those whose support will dwindle as a result, methinks.
You think the Repubicans should shut up before people start pointing out they are doing it to you .
How many did it - voted Democrat - late last year in Alabama? And before ?:

How many will do the same later this year...?!
@ Anon-e-moose
He didn't cave, he created a narrative that this was a law made by Democrats (it's not a law and Democrats didn't make the policy. Obama however came under fire for doing something similar during his terms but they at least made a pretense of medical reasons and didn't target legal asylum seekers or, you know, keep the kids after sending the parents back across the border) and "overturned it" with an executive order when a phone call would have been more than enough. He created a problem and then "solved" it with a spectacle that implies more effort on his part than he actually had to put in and resistance that didn't actually exist. He tried to fake the image of taking action against someone else's idea instead of recanting one of his own. Anyone paying attention wouldn't be fooled but if anyone was paying attention Trump wouldn't have gotten elected in the first place.
I don't respect Trump's intelligence in the slightest but honestly this was clever damage control. He scraped the mud off himself and threw it at his opponents who now know the depths he'll sink to in order to create what he thinks is an advantage at the negotiating table... as long as the person he's negotiating with isn't a murderous dictator.
@Passerby
I wonder how many in the US will see it that way? Or hopefully: not .
And judging by the comment from YouTube I posted before, I suspect it'll be more: and not just those who saw right through his BS way before what happened a few days ago.
Some had the foresight to realise what this... thing actually was. Hopefully through them having the change of attitude that One Big One did, the damage will be done, electorally: in November of this year.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
