A FEW WEEKS in a detention center??? SAFE AND FED??? Nirvana for sure....

If you have some reliable evidence to the contrary, other than AOC or someone who spoke to someone who spoke to someone, then bring it forward. I mean it. I know there have been some issues, but I haven't seen anything to contradict that the people in the detention centers, on the whole, are not safe and fed. Perhaps it is months rather than weeks, but they are still being fed and housed by the taxpayers of this country. Yesterday the rehab center I help at had Spaghetti-O's for lunch. Things are not wonderful everywhere.

and now it's FEDERAL prison....

It was from the beginning. My original statement: "Given the choice between being at one of those detention centers versus being in a federal prison, I'll take the detention center every day and twice on Sunday."

Politics. I'll say it again. If Obama was still pres, I think you guys would be just fine with the whole deal.

Obama as president again??? From your lips to God's ears!

I thought Trump has us swimming in wealth! Spaghetti-Os for lunch??? The insult! Even at our worst lunch at the rehab where I spent nine weeks total, we didn't have that.

I'm not sure what your point is. I've been going to this place for over ten years. The food is perfectly acceptable to me and is sometimes fantastic due to the many Christian groups that come out and cook for the forty or more guys. Still waiting on our first atheist support group to come help. Nonetheless, they eat what is set in front of them or do without. Makes it hard for me to feel sorry for anyone who is getting three meals a day free at the expense of the American taxpayer.

And yes, the economy is much better than it was with Obama. Thanks for pointing that out!

I had to pay for my healthcare rehab food. Would you choose Spaghetti-Os?

Guess you didn't notice this was in a sarcasm font, JL: "I thought Trump had us swimming in wealth!"

I'd sure choose them over going hungry. I ate with them so that was my lunch, too.

Maybe so, but it sure is true. Best unemployment figures in practically forever, and no signs of slowing down yet.

The dufus said he took the money we got from the tariffs and gave them to the farmers....WHA? Anybody else see the stupidity in that statement? Or believe the obvious LIE!

All those farmers etc. who got screwed because of the tariffs have to look for work somewhere.

I was raised that way. Set food in front of you and eat it. Be glad to have it.

Yup, this PK grew up slurping Spaghetti-Os. The plain ones were the cheapest. Great for toothless old people in healthcare facilities.

a traveller who enters another country illegally is a criminal

Under US law, a judge is the only one with standing to pass sentence. LOL, repubs rail against socialist, communists and holler about the unamericans, unpatriotics, whose illegal whose not, what's illegal, and what's not, like they are entitled to ignore the law. Whatever happened to proving your case in a court of law rather than dictate the outcome you want?

Maybe their case has holes in it, so the hollering is about all they can do hoping the noise will be loud enough to hide the holes. At least that's what the dufus thinks, and repubs follow the liar at their own peril, because if he is who they count on to deliver them from their worst fears, they are in for one huge nightmare. Unfortunately, if re elected, he will bring us all into the nightmare repubs are headed for.

If he is not, he probably goes to jail like the rest of his minions have.

Nope. Asylum seekers are "travelers." When they set foot in our country, that's not illegal.

wrong

Individuals may apply for asylum at a port of entry without illegally entering the country.Once they cross the border without being granted asylum they are illegals

They have to set foot in our country in order to get to that port of entry.

Individuals can apply for asylum anywhere in or out of our country. Can't believe YOU haven't looked up the law Tom.
