Trump Tweets

"The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!"

Lowest crime rate for 30 years and Merkel is the most currently the most popular politician with high approval rating.
 
Trump adds

"We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!"
 
Republican Massachusetts Governor, Charlie Baker, has just suspended the state's National Guard deployment to the border over Trump's inhumane family separation policy.

Again, why do they need Democrat votes? I thought they had "all the power"? Oh, right. They need an excuse for their own dysfunction.

Because that's not the votes he's looking for. What he wants are votes to fund the wall, not to stop the separation of families.

Feinstein has created a bill to stop the separation of families. Last I heard, all but a couple of democrats supported it. No republicans.

That's more than 40 democratic votes to end the separation of families. So what's the holdup?

All Senate Dems now support the bill.
 
I've asked before but didn't see an answer, so I'll ask again: What is the specific Democrat law that Trump keeps citing that is causing children to be taken away and locked up? I need the bill, the sponsors, when it was passed, the vote by party, what President signed it, and the relevant text.

Anybody? Beuler?

Looks like whomever was in power in 1952, '86, '90, '91, and '96

Haven't you learned yet that Trump tweeting something mean it most likely has no basis whatsoever in fact? It is at the level that him saying anything would make me question it. If he tweeted water was wet I would start to question that idea.
 
Good lord.

The desperate sobbing of 10 Central American children, separated from their parents one day last week by immigration authorities at the border, makes for excruciating listening. Many of them sound like they’re crying so hard, they can barely breathe. They scream “Mami” and “Papá” over and over again, as if those are the only words they know.

The baritone voice of a Border Patrol agent booms above the crying. “Well, we have an orchestra here,” he jokes. “What’s missing is a conductor.”

Then a distraught but determined 6-year-old Salvadoran girl pleads repeatedly for someone to call her aunt. Just one call, she begs anyone who will listen. She says she’s memorized the phone number, and at one point, rattles it off to a consular representative. “My mommy says that I’ll go with my aunt,” she whimpers, “and that she’ll come to pick me up there as quickly as possible.”

An audio recording obtained by ProPublica adds real-life sounds of suffering to a contentious policy debate that has so far been short on input from those with the most at stake: immigrant children. More than 2,300 of them have been separated from their parents since April, when the Trump administration launched its “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which calls for prosecuting all people who attempt to illegally enter the country and taking away the children they brought with them. More than 100 of those children are under the age of 4. The children are initially held in warehouses, tents or big box stores that have been converted into Border Patrol detention facilities.
