Sure, they shouldn't be able to vote or apply for government issued ID or apply for government fund programs.
But they're people man, human rights and decency don't go out the door just because they're not citizens.
Just because they aren't citizens doesn't mean you get to deprive them of their basic human fucking rights and treat them like cattle. There are organizations that have legitimately found that the way these facilities treat these kids is tantamount to torture, in addition to literally depriving children of their parents. That's a straight up Grade A human rights violation. "They aren't citizens" is a slippery slope to concentration camps and the like simply because of tribalism bullshit that these aren't "our" people. We're not just Americans (I mean you aren't an American), we're humans, and humans shouldn't just treat each other like animals because we lived on one strip of land another group of people weren't lucky enough to be born on. "True Patriots" do not support this kind of crap.
What happened to you Boilrig? Before Brexit you were a reasonable and a-okay poster, but ever since then you've been spouting on far-right wing nonsense like you're towing a line. Is this what we did to you? Did the constant rejection of your opinions just lead you into echo chambers where they were accepted and you started believing the shit they spouted too? What changed...?
That young girl KNEW she would be taken away from her parents if they crossed the border, something that's a big no-no ESPECIALLY when she more than likely saw the signs on the fence
How about treating them as people?
Torturing legal asylum seekers is what's making a mockery of international procedure

I mean, there's a point to be made that you can't necessarily apply studies on one ethnic group to another, but I'm not really sure that's the point Dr. Mengele is making in that clip.
Wow Dr Seuss was a great political cartoonist
I'm against the separation of families, and would honestly prefered if the families were just shown the door back to Mexico without detention.
Maybe I'm towing a line, maybe I'm not, I'm not exactly sure right now as I don't consider my views to be what I would consider far-right wing, I too want to save these people, however I do not see how letting them cross into the US is going to help the overall issue, other than just encourage more crossings and downplay the rule of law in our already fragile societies.
Yes, the rule of law such as, accepting asylum seekers when they arrive at your borders.
Oh wait it's only the laws that "we" like that get enforced properly, right.
Wow, you say some exceedingly stupid shit so I have very low expectations from you but you managed to exceed my expectations with this turd of a post.
They're children. This treatment is unacceptable regardless of whether they are citizens or not. You're literally defending mistreatment of children simply because they're not citizens of the US.
The problem is you assume rules, laws, and legal procedures based on nothing, support them based on this ignorance, and rather than rationally change your mind or opinions when confronted with conflicting evidence, JUST like with brexit, you're doubling down on stupid opinions that can be readily shown to be stupid.
I don't know how your brain works, I don't know what's happened to you, but honestly, it'd be a lot better if you just started applying serious critical thought to your own crap.
The 'rule of law'? We agreed to accept Asylum-seekers. That was an international accords we signed to. A law.
You're saying that we should break that law to serve our own laws? If so, why should anyone expect us to honor any accords we sign ever if we're just going to throw them in the trash when they're inconvenient?
i bet he'll respond to this with "well then they should apply for asylum through the right channels rather than just showing up at the border expecting to get in" while ignoring that the wait list for asylum into america is 10+ years
Non-citizens still have legal and constitutional rights, not to mention basic human rights, and applying for asylum is a result of established legal process and internationally recognized procedure. You've just argued that they don't, they shouldn't, and that the basic facts of asylum should be ignored. Shame.
I wonder if people are going to Canada to get asylum from the U.S...
Non-citizens don't have inalienable human rights 🤔
did you miss the clip of kilmeade praising the racial purity of nordic countries and saying we should stop marrying "other species"? the guy rhetoric is racism under the guise of political rhetoric. this is how easily you fall for it
Imagine being such a fucking prick that you actually go the full 9 yards to justify a person calling another human being a sub-human. Not surprising with half the extremely ignorant Nationalism you sniff out your own ass constantly. It doesn't matter if they are citizens or not, throwing fucking children into caged camps for no reason is horrible and wrong.
this entire administration and congress has been an exercise in a government exclusively for only those that voted Trump, even though they represent everybody irregardless of political leanings. In fact, this president more than ever has been the one instituting partisan tests on every bit of the government he can, including even the lowest rungs of civil service
