"Whenever a Republican wants to move forward — you know, pass some legislation or even enforce the law as already written, they always, always, ALWAYS have to run through a mainstream media propaganda gauntlet dedicated to the status quo, loyal only to the Democrat cause and by extension opposed to anything resembling progress.
- Obamacare is an objective disaster; nonetheless, the media fights tooth and nail to save it.
- Our tax code is a backwards, prosperity-stifling haven for corporatist special interests; nonetheless, the media will do everything in its power to ensure not a single word is altered.
Then there is illegal immigration, which, like abortion, the MSM treats as its own personal sacrament.
...If your only understanding of this complicated issue comes from the MSM, of course you are outraged over the fact that Trump is about order an army of jackbooted ICE agents to kick in daycare center doors, snatch up all the “brown children,” and then hurl the angelic toddlers (with actual rings of gold hovering over their heads) into cattle cars headed south.
Hopefully the list below will offer some clarity and context.
The first point, I think, is the most important.
1. This Is Only the Fault of the Parents
My wife was born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and came to America as a small child.
But she was brought here by her parents legally and remained here legally until she obtained her citizenship, something she prizes above most everything else.
This is how immigration is supposed to work.
If you ask my wife about DACA, she blames the parents of these children who, unlike her own parents, broke the law and put their children in this situation.
If your parents don’t pay the rent, is it the landlord’s fault when you are evicted, or is it the fault of your parents?
If your parents sneak you into Disneyland without paying, is it Disney’s fault when you are booted out, or is it the fault of your parents?
If your parents sneak you into a country illegally, is it the country’s fault when you get deported, or is it the fault of your parents?
Blaming America or Trump or anyone other than the parents for any of this, is a ruse, a con, a rhetorical trick...

It seems like you are more concerned about your feelings about illigal or legal immigrants more than ...
Acknowledging that they too are human that are trying to survive in this world.
Sure we can't have all of them here.
But the ones that are here. Let's find a way for them to get a path to citizenship as long as they don't commit violent crimes.
Yah .. your unimpathetic vote can force them to be jailed or sent back to the misery they left their homes.
How ever ... You are not walking in their shoes. Or dealing with their issues. If you did. You would never in your life wish ill of other people like that.
It is your privelege talking.
I bet , if you were in a shitty situation in your life. I'm sure you would become an illigal immigrant in a second. You would cross borders to have the persuit of a better life .
Sometimes it's a matter of life and death. But what do you know about that.
You are a privileged guy who didn't have to leave your home or families ... You are just fine with what you got. So now , you rather not let anyone else to get the same opportunity as your illigal alien ancestors got.
It's your privelege that's making you write this article.
