I like this better. We're really close proximity-wise man. It's gonna happen. Beers and burgers.

This border thing is nice to rile up Trump hate but whoever else you vote for is going to do plenty that out nasties this. This has become a disportionate cause célèbre.

I agree it’s horrible but we’ve been destroying families for no good reason forever.

I’ve worked with dozens, maybe even hundreds of children, whose mothers and fathers were locked up for non-violent drug offenses and tickytack parole/probation violations. I’ve watched students google mugshots so they could share with their classmates pictures of their parents. And the border kids are eating square meals and playing soccer. I’m not saying it’s not wrong but alternative candidates (the Clintons) led the charge that decimated millions of mostly black families. And many of these kids are left malnourished.

It's not necessarily a step forward but it's better than separating them.

Yeah, I don't disagree. It's just funny that he took a step backwards from his rhetoric over the past couple days. He's pretty embarrassing in himself.

Lol it would have taken the previous administration like 3 months to do anything if this type of **** happened. According to Homeland Security personnel who served under Obama's watch, they don't even have the data of how many kids were separated from their parents over an 8 year period. That's fairly interesting considering how meticulous they were compared to this administration in regards to bookkeeping. But it wasn't worth keeping track of apparantly...or maybe they just scrubbed it out because the truth was inconvenient.

In other Trump news, taste the rainbow.

Business Insider - Trump reportedly threw Starbursts on a table before Germany's Angela Merkel at the G7 summit and said, 'Don't say I never give you anything'
