my bad
Yup.
I like Shapiro's take on it. Equating Mexican immigrants to the Japanese citizens in ww2 is a false narrative.
Oh absolutely.
Mexicans aren't US citizens and are breaking the law by entering illegally.
I made a repeated point that this was equal treatment under the law, as well.
The Biblical stuff would be pointless but fun. Half the Bible's stories are about situations that the "right thing" conflicts with the letter of the law. It has a big "Context is key" aspect to it.
It can be complained about and asked for, but keeping families separated is a law actually, as a part of that Flores case
Has nothing to do with Trump
As an atheist, I wasn't interested in arguing bible with another atheist.
It never goes well.
lol
Exactly.
They cannot put the children in jail
The children are not accused of a crime, they are minors.
Therefore, the government must treat them as wards of the state
(If a single parent is found inside a house they've broken into, their child isn't left unattended while the parent is arrested.)
Basis of my equal treatment under the law argument
Might want to mention how proper documentation allows for reuniting the family when things are cleared up
I've already bombed all of his arguments into retreat.
O no
Was that facebook?

When people on my friends list in Facebook start saying the right are nazis, etc.
I take it as an ultimatum.
I either convince them there's another perspective
or they remove me from their friends list.
Either one is an acceptable outcome.
4 pointed argument dismantling any excuse for a weak border policy, too.
There is no option but to defend our borders.
And there aren't any better ways of handling the inflow from Mexico, either, because Catch and Release can't coexist with Sanctuary Cities.
Typically, an argument goes over better if you can throne a bone to emotion if you can. It isn't necessary, but winning the argument isn't the point. Convincing the other person there's a reasonable way to think in the opposite way is.
That's why I bring the Human Trafficking aspect into it
the part that I find disgusting.
Our state has to deal with 18 wheeler trailers on a monthly basis, with no ventilation, no climate control systems, just packed down with 50+ illegals.
Every once in a while, one will get abandoned.
