    Hiding behind unjust laws to justify inhuman actions. Another example:

    But don't worry. There is more than just hiding. To continue rationalizing breaking up families and pushing people of 'their own type' to death, the left will be blamed.

    The talk of "breaking up families" has always been funny to me. Do we call it "breaking up families" when people are imprisoned for breaking the law? If not, why the hell would we call it that when people break the law by being in this country illegally and are deported?

    You are absolutely right man. We should start calling it breaking up families when people are put in jail for non-violent offenses based on a lack of research.

    If only people in the community had been saying it for decades.

    Well since breaking immigration laws is considered a civil offense that's like saying "why don't we break up families over speeding tickets".

    Both laws need to be enforced.

    The illegal activity is what is "breaking up families" I thought that would be clear. Being deported for being in the country illegally is no different than being imprisoned for illegal activity.

    One if a criminal offense and the other is not. They aren't the same thing.

    Both are illegal actions, the fact that one illegal action is criminal and the other is not is the reason why both don't end up in prison. Either way, when you are doing illegal things that lead to your family being "broken up" it's you that broke up your family, not anyone else.

    The rest of the world is not as nice of a place as many of you make it out to seem. It's no picnic out there.

    Yes because I'm the only person here that bumps threads because of Trump. Check out all those anti-Trump threads that are being bumped daily but you don't care about those threads, those threads fit your narrative so you keep your mouth shut.

    Not really, since the US and UK vet refugees using completely different processes. Pointing to random attacks oversee is kind of pointless.
