Playing the blame game on either side of our f**king tribal government and society is just to immature and DUMB for words, but words are all I have!
"Trump’s tweets on children dying in U.S. custody are a new low"
By Karen Tumulty December 29, 2018 at 4:39 PM
"With President Trump, there is no bottom. Every time you think you have seen it, he manages to sink even lower.
It is not news that the president is indifferent to human suffering. His limp response to the devastation of the 2017 hurricane in Puerto Rico — which he claimed to have been a “fantastic job” on the part of his administration — stands out in that regard. But on Saturday, we saw yet another level of depravity when Trump made his first comments regarding the deaths in recent days of two migrant Guatemalan children after they were apprehended by federal authorities. It revealed not only callousness but also opportunism, as he sought to turn this tragedy into a partisan advantage in his current standoff with Democrats over the government shutdown.
His statements came, not unexpectedly, over Twitter. First this:
Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally. They can’t. If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try! The two.....

And then, minutes later, this:
...children in question were very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol. The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days. Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end. They are working so hard & getting so little credit!

Not a word of sympathy here — much less remorse on the part of the government over the deaths of a 7-year-old girl and 8-year-old boy while in its custody. Nor does Trump address questions that are being raised about whether the administration’s new policy seeking to limit the ability of immigrants to seek asylum protection might be a factor in putting more at risk. Under recent changes, migrants must remain in Mexico as their asylum cases are processed, possibly increasing their willingness to do something reckless to come across the border."
PUKE! What a putrid mind Tweety has! PUTRID! HIS SKULL IS FULL OF CRAP!
Tweety is a sociopath!
"As Trump fulminates about the wall, he rarely brings up the idea of doing anything about the source of the problem: the desperation of people who are being driven from their native countries by poverty and violence. Until those forces are addressed, migrants will keep coming, even if it means taking greater risks to do so."
Of course, Congress is to blame too.
Stop over-dramatizing our southern border issue by using fake facts and misleading percentages to get YOUR way. Speak the truth. Example, Sanctuary Cities are the bane of ICE, BUT they are not a source of crime!
Border security is not the same as National Security!
National Security is not threatened by illegal immigrants. NATIONAL Security, defined as a threat to our country, and our democracy (for what our "democracy" is worth - it is being weakened DAILY by TRIBALISM) is threatened most by DOMESTIC terrorism, White Nationalists, uncontrolled militias, and Neo-Nazis.
The current immigration law and, commensurate policies, are the fault of EVERYONE IN CONGRESS, NOT ONE PARTY! I will repeat, Congress must do its job - BOTH DEMS AND REPUBS - AND we need to spend $5,000,000,000 on FACILITIES to enable humane processing of immigrants!
We also need to go to the root of the issue - Central America, and work with them to help them with whatever issues they have that drive their people to America. Spend $700B if necessary and cut our DoD budget! Money spent to make the peace is far better than money spent to go to war.
Stupid.
Tribalism hurts and is simply SELFISH.
US Constitution - 14th Amendment - see "Dictionary" of the Constitution
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/fourteenth-amendment
Supreme Court has ruled it applies to all persons, like Chinese, blacks, Latinos, Mexicans, who are NOT citizens, but likely immigrants, also people who have overstated their Visas long ago,
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
What does the 14th mean? Immigrants must have due process, EVEN IN NON-SANCTUARY CITIES. ICE arrests are often actually illegal!
"Fourteenth Amendment. Word Origin. noun. an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, defining national citizenship and forbidding the states to restrict the basic rights of citizens or other persons."
Blame others for his faults . . . avoiding accountability attributable to Congress AND himself, Trump tweets more crap: the Dems killed the two immigrant kids!

Blame game! VERY wrong! Tweety tweets insane crap! No ONE believes you! YOU ARE ALL TO BLAME!
By the way, Trump is in on the profit making from illegal immigrants, so is he the one that should tell us about using illegal immigrants?
