If we were locking up guns in cages and separating them from their owners, Republicans would riot in the streets. But because we’re doing it to brown children, They Don’t Care!!
Trump is now saying that he will end the separation policy by Executive Order. But, but, but what about “The Democrat law that he couldn’t do anything about?”
Trump’s Tent Cities cost $775 per night for each detained child.
Melania Trump said “A great visit with the King and Queen of Spain at the White House today. Queen Letitia and I enjoyed tea and time together focusing on the way we can positively impact children.” Impact children…how about letting them out of the cages that your husband put them in?
There is no reason the Mayor of Gary has to go to Texas and she better pay for that out of her own pocket, but my tax dollars will not be used for her to go to these so called demonstrations! She’s not needed there; she has a city falling apart right outside her window.
At Trump’s rally in Duluth, Minnesota, fans in line were asked about the situation at the Mexico border. The consensus was that the “detainment photos and videos are fake and photoshopped.” The brainwashing has taken full effect and there is no turning back for these people.
Amazing how slippery the slope is underneath the feet of Trump’s foot soldiers. There apparently is no bottom to which they will march in lockstep to his hateful agenda.
If the far left thinks it’s a good idea to protest someone at a restaurant like they did Kirstjen Nielson who is a cabinet member for a president, they’re way out of line. Out on the street, have at it. When you start invading a person’s private space, you’re putting people in danger.
Governor Holcomb has pledged to do something to fix the ailing DCS system. After FIVE different reviews found many of the same problems, Holcomb stopped short of calling for additional money. Rather, they will tinker with how the term “neglect” is defined in state law. So in other words, they wasted more money on a review that they will do nothing to change.
It’s really ironic to read comments in Quickly about illegal immigrant children being mistreated at the border, when there are only two other states in the country where kids are treated worse than in Indiana, when it comes to abuse and neglect. My old pappy rest his soul had a saying: “Clean up your own house before you start picking on mine.” Where’s the outrage for these kids in Quickly, or the kids left without parents with 2 million Americans in prison? Oh wait, somebody is trying to win the mid-terms. My bad!
Our state government has more or less washed their hands of fixing the DCS problem. Instead of funding all of the continuous reviews, they will once again play with the words, to change the state laws. The children will still continue to fall through the cracks because we have lawmakers who are totally inept.
I can see what is wrong in America by reading the paper everyday. I constantly read about these local store robberies where the bad guy uses the threat of a gun and goes home with only $40, $50 or $200. These are amounts he could earn in 1-3 days with a real job. These kids are being raised by their parents to earn a living through crime and then resist arrest in order to get a shot at the big money, especially if you can get it on video. Even the NFL player protests encourage this lifestyle.
People have to start understanding that just because you don’t like a particular news story, doesn’t mean it is false. Try to be open-minded and look at both sides of a story, reserving judgement until you can figure things out for yourself.
