That is quite irrelevant.

There is a simple issue at the moment over the USA's treatment of kids. One either thinks its fine and dandy to mistreat kids "because they deserved it" or you don't. Anything else is just excuses.

I think it is very relevant actually, seeing as the tape recordings were used as a shock factor tactic against trump and his office.My point is, If this was just a taped recording of crying kids in a nursery or kids being dropped of at their first day at school if you wern't told what it was you might be horrified to hear the screams and anguish in the childs cries...If you were however told what the recording was of, then i think most people would just say,, aww bless..or something...


but because this is trump..........:shrug:

then take the tape recoding's away .....do you really need to hear them???




recordigs or not there is no doubt the Trump Admin is ripping these wee ones from the arms of their parent's..


Still very shocked that people are deffending this...Cleary we as humans have learnt nothing from our past.....But hey at least we can run with the slogan...Seperate but equall:shrug:

Who in their right minds would think the kids deserved it. The parents however do have some responsibility. Entering the country without documentation is illegal and that is well known. Any consequences of doing so have to be thought about and responsibility taken for such decisions.

Whatever the situation people have to follow the rules. If they are under threat they need to apply for asylum. People do have sympathy but people have been crossing the border illegally for years with no regard for doing so via the proper means, many of whom are criminals. No-one is entitled to enter another country illegally for economic reasons.

Ripped from parents who have just put their kids well being in danger by blatantly breaking the law of the land. .or from the arms if smugglers....


They knew the risks but still tried to illigally enter a country knowing full well what would happen if caught.....were they caring as much then about the wee ones.

Hmmm.I know there is Irish FM's

ask them about coffin ship's

Whats the relevence to this wall?

Does that tell you what they are fleeing?

Parents will do whatever it takes to seek a better life for their children

This is an excellent example of rationalisation.

If you took a recording of the average nursery and all the children were distressed and their carers were laughing at them and comparing their wails to an orchestra that they'd want to conduct then that would be abuse.

Not only are you rationalising this abuse of human rights but you're trying to normalise child abuse.

Poverty and violence.


Why should the usa be the worlds dumping ground for people effected by things that have absolutely no bearing on the usa?



I think the us has enough problems of their own to deal with without having to worry about the reported 200, 000 illigals trying to sneek in monthly....

And you are trying to turn a situation that may on balance be better for the children than stuck in a facility with a lot of unknown adults into an anti-Trump private war. You don't know all the facts and just assume them to fit your agenda.

You throw around 'human rights' and 'child abuse' emotive language in an attempt to inflame and undermine regardless of the effects on the children. Without more 'evidence' than a few audio tapes which may not be true representation of what was occurring - you could be doing more harm that good and undermining the value of human rights and child abuse.

There needs to be a proper enquiry before such an assumption can be reached not what some hysterical leftie reporters/groups and Trump haters are saying along with some unproven audio tapes.

But it's not the worlds dumping ground is it???


I picked up my children and fleed south Africa because it was clear to me and my husband it was no longer safe to be white there...I have never set foot in America..


People flee their home countries all the time...It's what human's do....to use phrases referring them to rodents and infest...c'mon we have been down this road before in history

Misrepresentation and fear mongering.

You make it sound like kids were kept around any old adults or something. Families were housed together until this change. you can pretend that mentally abusing children from seperating them from their parents is for their own good but the facts simply aren't there.

Your 'emotive language' line has never worked before in this thread and it won't work here. If this story was reversed and you heard the same audio from US children, you would be screaming that it's abuse and you'd be right to do so. It's immigrant children though, so who cares amirite?

The fact that you are trying to downplay actual evidence says it all. You are someone who uses your feelings as your facts and if the actual facts don't allign with that then you'll do your utmost to discredit it.

As I said pages ago, you are either for this treatment of children or you are against it. Tell me which it is.

How does nobody remember Rwanda and the use of the word cockroaces ?

Have we? When, when in history have immigrants illigal or otherwise been desribed as rats?

If you look at history.... immigrants have immigrated on mass and displaced the indigenous people.....

Have you got an example of this happening once in history?

America with the indians, australia with the aboriginies....


The east end if london..............maybe.

People are born where they're born by pure luck and I know if I was born in a country where life was terrible for myself and especially my children I'd do my best to get them to a safer place too....everyone would, it's a bit sad that some people seem incapable of seeing these people as human beings like them who are just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families

Immigration was the issue and not conquerors?

Yes, immigration was the issue.:shrug:

Is america that safe though, all those guns...:shrug:

If you think this, then you might want to actually learn about history.

but not at the expense of those already in said country or to be exploited by those in said country

Remind me not to ask you.
