9 myths about Trumps zero tolerance policy - Michelle Martin Blog https://www.michellemartinauthor.com/1/post/2018/06/9-myths-about-trumps-zero-tolerance-policy.html

for Jay and Mrebo

A random blog post by a social worker? The first point she makes is already factually incorrect (the policy is not new, the “zero tolerance” enforcement is). I scanned the rest and can’t be bothered to refute each point. Find better sources.

like twitter?

Did you watch the video? It’s by a comedian. It was a joke. Both Jordan Peterson and the protester come off looking rash and foolish.

Laugh more, you’ll live longer.

Acting as though the left is some crazy extreme side of the spectrum because of a select few extremists is a very common trend among people that are sympathetic to the right but can’t bring themselves to admit that they lean right.

What do you think is accomplished by labeling all conservative views as “alt-right”? It’s the same approach.

This reminds me of someone for some reason.

I lean right on some issues and left on others. Your inability to weigh nuance is unfortunate, but it’s what I’ve come to expect from modern liberals.

It seems shortsighted to dwell so much on whether families are kept together

Tell that to the toddler crying for its mommy.

My Spanish probably isn’t up to the job but it’s no easier to explain to a toddler why she was carried through the desert or why she can’t stay.

um… when did you last explain anything to a toddler?

nothing, nothing compares to the anguish a toddler feels when their mom is not with them. and i am just talking about a 1 hour trip to the grocery store. if a toddler had to leave home, sure that is sad, but if they are with their mom/dad? not anguish.

Whenever a person commits an offense resulting in separation from children that is very hard for the children. Typically the parents should have to answer for that.

did you know that the majority of these separations being complained about, are from those attempting to seek asylum? yeah, lets punish them for fleeing a shitty situation. get educated. to say what jay says, do some research it isn’t my job to do it for you.

Asylum isn’t a magic word that let’s people stay. Generally the people are coming here because their own countries are lousy. Doesn’t mean they have a right to enter.

Jay Harold Christ mrebo… of course it isn’t magic.

but locking up parents, and shipping off toddlers, when the parents came to SEEK ASSYLUM is fucking nuts, and this is why people are making noise about this (Not because they hate Trump, Jay). this is why people are starting to say that the USA might be committing human rights violations.

I’ve yet to hear what the solution is.

You won’t.
