Honestly I don't know why I bothered saying anything.We've taken in 6,000 in those circumstances through Dublin, Drogheda, Rosslare and lots of smaller ports across Munster. They're all in housing from Mosney in Meath down to Lisdoonvarna in Clare and there's even 2 families down the road from me in Waterville. They were brought in safely from the seas by the Irish navy and fair dues to the navy lads for the work they're after doing.
You'd be an illegal migrant now as you've no reason to claim asylum. You've no persecution and every chance in life. You live in a country where you complain about disposable income. These poor cunts are fleeing from a country where they've no safety, no security, no guarantee their children will live through another day. If a town a wealthy and prosperous as Kinsale were to give out about giving sanctuary to a couple of hundred people that have been through hell I'd suggest that the town as a whole need a kick in the fucking teeth.

Fact.Under Obama, families were detained - that's true, but mothers/children were only separated on rare occasions - a handful a year, not 1995 in six weeks - and it wasn't policy to do so. A Texas law professor is quoted quite widely as saying that often , under Obama, the parent was released to reunite with the kid, regardless of processing.
The move to prosecute and jail everyone means by law they are forced to separate the children, so it is the move to prosecute everyone - zero tolerance, which forces separation - that has caused the current change and the headlines.
Fact.
Oh, and faux outrage. As if any normal human being would care about children being torn from their mothers and locked in a cage.I'm sure someone be along to talk about Hilary and the email soon. Oh, don't forget the child actors
I think Trump is an awful president and the media that support him are very dangerous. And I think a huge chunk of people who unquestionably support him are the worst of American culture. And the people who unquestionably support him from abroad are just looking for any excuse to spout right wing crap.
But ...I agree with you that it's highly hypocritical to not address our own sins. And that it's becoming almost fashionable to berate Trump. And that some of what he does (or the guys at the lowest levels do) is not bad minded. Some could look at lot more palatable if the guy at the top wasn't Trump and the people supporting it weren't Fox.
When it comes to immigration it's a horrible dilemma. You can't allow illegal immigration IMO. You have to be tough but you also have to not to be cruel. But it's a fine line. You need a mix of cold logical thinkers and some genuinely fairminded people to ensure the policy, processes and enforcement is effective and humane. It's a crazy emotional cocktail.
I couldn't be on those borders. My heart would be broke by what you'd logically have to see or do.
The answer I guess is in stopping the mass immigration before it occurs but that needs political cooperation and with someone like Trump is that likely?
