      This guy has gone on TV to defend Trump for taking 1 year olds away from their parents.https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/1012716347657211905 …

      I'm worried. My 1 yr old grandson is at my house. He does nothing for himself, pays for nothing, cries when he doesn't get his way, throws tantrums, and wears diapers that I have to change. I'm afraid this kid is a Democrat! Hope he outgrows it.

      Just curious - in your worldview, do the parents bear any responsibility for putting the children in danger while crossing the border into a situation where if caught they'll get separated, or is it all on Trump? Asking as a parent of a small kid myself.

      In your view as a parent of small children, do you think exposing your child to physical violence of drug gangs or the emotional violence, imposed in violation of international lie, of Sessions' ICE gangs is the better choice?

          I think parents who remove their children from immediate grave physical danger should be applauded.

          Thank you for your honest answer, but I respectfully disagree.The world has been a dangerous place for years (I grew up in a shithole country myself, where I used to get beat up for who I was regularly) and if a family wanted to flee into the unknown, esp illegally, one parent /1

          would go first, and once established,send for the kids. My family has been fleeing Russia and anti-Semitism in drips and drabs starting in 1908.I would never subject my 7yr old boy to such a perilous journey and prospect of being taken away by iCE if caught crossing the border./2

          1. We are also all familiar with families sending their children ahead for safety, knowing that they themselves might not ever make it. 2. America is a country of immigrants. Some white people here think they have some claim to be 1st. Not factual.

          Being an immigrant, I certainly believe in immigration, but legal immigration. Let me ask you - do you believe that only those who are vetted and admitted by the government should come in, or do you believe in open borders and that anyone who wants to can enter?

          My father was an immigrant, and probably more than 98% of the population here came from immigrants. That's first. I believe in asylum process. That is NOT the same as open borders & the rest of your sentence, does it?

          Replying to @runPattirun @raitzin @emptywheel

          A good portion of the anti-not-white immigrants people do not appreciate the lives those people make here. They overstate crime stats, voting illegalities, and much other. Many cry about immigrants taking jobs, but they would NOT DO THOSE JOBS. They are NOT doing the jobs.
