President Trump Speaks Out On Our Nation’s Immigration Laws

It’s the big topic of the day: Illegal immigration.

Laura Bush dropped an op-ed in the Washington Post, blasting the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance policy.”

“I live in a border state,” she wrote. “I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.”

She even compared the entire thing to Japanese internment camps, which is ridiculous.

Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert outside of El Paso. These images are eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War II, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history. We also know that this treatment inflicts trauma; interned Japanese have been two times as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease or die prematurely than those who were not interned.

UGH LAURA.

Americans pride ourselves on being a moral nation, on being the nation that sends humanitarian relief to places devastated by natural disasters or famine or war. We pride ourselves on believing that people should be seen for the content of their character, not the color of their skin. We pride ourselves on acceptance. If we are truly that country, then it is our obligation to reunite these detained children with their parents — and to stop separating parents and children in the first place.

You can read the rest here.

I’ll just say this: The Trump administration didn’t create this mess. Laura knows that.

President Trump is over the misinformation campaign and tweeted about this entire illegal immigration thing late last night and early this morning.

The Democrats should get together with their Republican counterparts and work something out on Border Security & Safety. Don’t wait until after the election because you are going to lose!

Why don’t the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world’s worst immigration laws? Where is the outcry for the killings and crime being caused by gangs and thugs, including MS-13, coming into our country illegally?

You won’t hear any peeps from Nancy Pelosi.

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!

We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 18, 2018

We most certainly do not.

I know it’s tough, but I really am grateful that Trump is standing his ground. Don’t buy the hype. We’re not locking kids in cages and throwing them cans of moldy tuna. Get the facts. Learn how the process works, and push for lawmakers to fund the wall.

If there’s a wall, it will be a LOT harder for illegal immigrants to use children as pawns.

Update: More!

Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country. Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S.

CHANGE THE LAWS!

It is the Democrats fault for being weak and ineffective with Boarder Security and Crime. Tell them to start thinking about the people devastated by Crime coming from illegal immigration. Change the laws!
