IMHO, the proper solution there is to release them back into the country they came through... Mexico, as was being done during at least part of Trump's first admin... instead of releasing them into the USA. BTW, if you look at the numbers, despite Trump's campaign claims, Obama was also imprisoning / turning back decent numbers, too. > It doesn't have to be nefarious, it's an issue of priorities.

I didn't claim it was nefarious, but that it was not smart. I also don't think that turning loose a bunch of ICE agents in various cities is smart, either, but that is what happens after a few years of just turning people loose on this side of the border. If anything, that might have been the reason there... break something so then you can complain about how the other side does an equally silly 180 to try to correct it. Yeah, that sounds dumb but we are talking about US politicians, and I seriously wonder if we could ever assemble a bigger group of dummies that the current lot we have. * SLMR 2.1a * Governments absorb 100x their weight in excess liberties. --- Synchronet CAPCITY2 * Capitol City Online ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
