Mind rewriting that?


I'll calm down when you stop bullshitting like a toddler.

Obama did horrible shit. I know. The good news is he can't keep doing horrible shit because he's not in power anymore. Trump is. Everything that happens to immigrants from now until 2020 is Trump's responsibility, not Obama's. Bringing up Obama's wrongdoings to deflect from the fact that your immigration law enforcement under Trump is fucking barbaric is pure petulance. It's an implicit concession that what's happening is terrible, but instead of owning up to it you try to make it look acceptable by comparison, and you failed at that.


>"Which people?"
>Immediately generalizes

You're gonna have to be more explicit.

Harelia wrote:The only one acting like a toddler here is you with your crazed amount of kicking and screaming in your little echo chamber.


What "echo chamber"? I'm talking to you and we are blatantly disagreeing with one another. Do you understand what words mean?

Also, "kicking and screaming"? If tone policing is the best counter-argument you have, then I must assume I won the debate and you are just too arrogant to admit it.

Harelia wrote:I know I've got an issue with swearing but you take the whole cake. You can get your point across with writing 'fuck' every other word, you know. Otherwise why should I even take you seriously?

Again, tone policing is not a counter-argument. It's little more than a tantrum. If you can understand what I'm saying, what do you care if I'm swearing a lot while doing it?

You are generalizing the security guards of these facilities as sexual abusers or those who turn a blind eye, and say they are all untrained thugs. That is generalization.

This is the fundamental problem of open borders. 220 million of Latin Americans live on less that $10 a day: https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/ ... -0028.html

When you have so many people, and open borders, of course some of them are going to be economic migrants. This is why we need border security, and to be rough near the border. I'm not saying build a wall, or separate families, that's brutal, but if you have tens of thousands of people, give them food, medicine, and turn them back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGChGlE

It's not a generalization to acknowledge that abuse is rampant in immigration law enforcement, that training is minimal and inadequate, and that accountability is practically inexistent. This is not a statement regarding the characters of all concentration camp guards (although I sure would love to delve into that too), but on the deep rot in the institutions they serve.

I mean... what qualifies as close? Being in a different doesn't seem that close. I hear Mexico and Guatemala are lovely this time of year.

You think being in another country means being far away? I could drive to another country in two hours.

Just four agents to every person, how ever will they cope?

And full marks for the scare quotes. What are you even trying to imply? That they aren't migrants? They're moving from one country to another. That makes them migrants, no matter their reasons.

I doubt all 46,000 of them will be there. There are other areas to the border, you know. It's kind of big.

I doubt they'll need that many.
You know, I'm not sure. I hear putting kids in concentration camps is a popular policy these days.

I'd like to say that almost no one is advocating for open borders. Processing those who decide to come to our border, in the process determining who stays and who goes, is a good idea.
