THE quintessential dwarf
Surprised that picture today hasn't been discussed yet. That seems like something that could move the needle in this issue
No. Illegal immigration isn’t really an issue. The facts don’t bare it out and immigration is a basic way to address an aging population. It’s only an issue in that we need to fix our immigration system and streamline the processes by which we can get hard working people into this country.
Also no. That picture won’t move the needle. Anybody who doesn’t care about immigrants isn’t going to suddenly care because they see a dead farther and daughter.
This may have been answered already but had the family separation policy (which yes is different than Obama’s) even worked? It was supposed to be a deterrent. Are the asylum or crossing attempts lower that year’s past? Or is this more double down on bad policy by trump and his “pro family” sycophants?

President Obama was never popular among ice’s rank and file, but the detailed list of enforcement priorities he instituted, in 2014, which many in the agency initially resented as micromanagement, now seemed more sensible—and even preferable to the current state of affairs. The ice officer said, “One person told me, ‘I never thought I’d say this, but I miss the Obama rules. We removed more people with the rules we had in place than with all this. It was much easier when we had the priorities. It was cleaner.’ ” Since the creation of ice, in 2003, enforcement was premised on the idea that officers would primarily go after criminals for deportation; Trump, who views ice as a political tool to showcase his toughness, has abandoned that framework entirely. “I don’t even know what we’re doing now,” the officer said. “A lot of us see the photos of the kids at the border, and we’re wondering, ‘What the hell is going on?’ ” The influx of Central American migrants, the officer noted, has been an issue for more than a decade now, spanning three Presidential administrations. “No one built up the infrastructure to handle this, and now people are suffering at the border for it. They keep saying they were caught flat footed. That’s a bald-faced fucking lie.”
What are the programs/care that were funded that were desperately needed? I'm pretty much against any funding to CBP and ICE at this point. What was funded outside of those agencies?
