Merry Christmas from Donald Trump

As usual MSM stirred the pot on this whole separation of kids thing to push a negative narrative on Trump. There was so much misinformation that the public feed on this.

Misinformation from the administration, that's correct.

Think about this.
Manafort is in jail for witness tampering .
Weinstein is free on bail having been accused of rape and sexual assaults.
Which one is a bigger threat to society ?

Manafort, by far. This is a national security issue.

You are so far gone Snowflake you don't even know what's true or false anymore. MSM's got you exactly where they want you.

Both are eventually going to jail for a long time.
Managort tampered with a witness during his case, so that got him sent to the clink.
If Weinstein tries witness tampering during his trial, he will get the same.

Your analogy is very contrived, but I guess that's what they pay you for.

Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson voiced deep frustration at the Department of Homeland Security's handling of separated families at the southern border, saying the lack of progress in steps to reunite children with their parents "boggles my mind."

"We're not making progress in terms of reunification," Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, told CNN on Monday, labeling the government's "lack of information" as "unsatisfactory."

"If they got a process, they're not revealing the process to me," Johnson said. "These are human beings. ... I'm just not getting the answers I would have thought they should have on the tips of their fingers. It boggles my mind. I just would assume that the connection in all these things are tracked -- and that the reunification would have been a relatively simple matter."


Asked if he had confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Johnson said: "I just want my questions answered." He signaled a willingness to hold a hearing with administration officials to get answers to his questions.

That was a good interview, thanks. I hope you watched the whole thing (covering NATO, tariffs and Putin). I actually like Lankford, I don't agree with all his positions, but he at least internally struggles to be honest.
And the interviewers were doing what a healthy press should be doing, exercising professional scepticism.

He was being honest when he said reuniting the families was complicated. Perhaps taking the kids away from parents wasn't such a great idea.

Not a great idea, nor was not having a plan to keep track of all of them

If Trump fans were up in arms about the separations they'd be all over it and it would have already been done. But his adoring fans love seeing brown folk behind bars, so the administration will continue to drag its feet, even when a judge tells them they have to speed it up. Trump only likes judges who agree with him and laws that fit his agenda.

No, they pay me to provide facts.
Then the question is all yours to answer as you did.

80 women have accused Weinstein , and he walks free with an ankle bracelet. Another fact.

Yet it was Bill Clinton that ended up being responsible for the incarceration of more " browns " when he pushed for and received, Legislation on the matter. Please explain. Does it have anything to do with Clinton's " browns" being American citizens ? Would Democrats have protested if it addressed the incarceration of illegals ?

What type of Brown folks are you talking about?
American Blacks, American Hispanics are not sneaking into our country.
Africans, South Americans are. So how and why am I looked at as being a bad guy DT supporter because they are breaking the law. Is it not fair for me to get angry that those Africans are taking spots and Scholarship money at Harvard over Chinese Americans because I’m angry of Harvard for allowing it.

Seeking asylum isn't illegal.

Harvard stops adjusting for diversity and admits only on statistics, your white kid doesn't stand a chance. Half the school will be Asian.

No, no, Snowflake you're reading it all wrong. Trump, as do most Americans, don't want illegals coming into the country. The reason he's not rushing this is, first, there really isn't the large problem with separations per Senator's Lankford comments this morning. The illegals are entering using kids as cover. Secondly, Trump is never about optics so these optics are great in his mind because the outrage and negative coverage causes a natural deterrent for those thinking of entering illegally with kids.

How do you conclude taking kids away from their parents was a bad idea with the facts Senator Lankford, you said you like, presented? If you agree with those facts then you're ok with would be promoting the following:


1) Kids coming in with potential traffickers?
2) Kids being used as cover or as a ticket to enter the country.
3) Kids potentially being kidnapped and used to enter as a cover.
4) Kids being abandoned by their parents.

Yes I did see the whole interview. He agreed with Trump on all accounts except his style.

Legal and illegal immigrants are “crowding out” American teens looking for summer jobs, and the impact of higher teen unemployment could be a drag on them for years, according to a new analysis of the seasonal workforce.

The Center for Immigration Studies found that as the number of U.S. teens with summer jobs has dropped significantly, employment of immigrants has doubled.

“Immigrants -- legal and illegal -- are crowding out U.S.-born teenagers in the labor market,” according to the report from Steven A. Camarota, director of research at CIS, and demographer Karen Zeigler.

In his analysis, Camarota found that employers are seizing on older immigrants, often over 20 and with some working experience, instead of U.S. teens to fill summer jobs. And another driving factor, he said, may be that immigrants are willing to work for a lower wage.

While good for immigrants, he cited research that it can be devastating for U.S. teens. Shut out of a summer job, they often have difficulty in the workforce for years.

“Teens employed in high school earn more than teens who did not work in the first year after graduation, with wage differences tending to increase over time. Also, teens who were employed in high school are more likely to be employed and work more hours during the year, with a significant relationship between hours worked in high school and subsequent hours worked and wages earned,” said the report

key findings:

•The current low rate of teen employment at 41 percent compares to 48 percent in the labor force in the summer of 2007 before the Great Recession, 61 percent in 2000, and 64 percent in 1994.
•In the 10 states with the largest shares of immigrant workers, just 36 percent of U.S.-born teens were in the summer labor force.

The findings could play a role in the current immigration debate. While the media has focused on children trying to come across the U.S.-Mexico border, most making the legal and illegal passage are older, and it is those who are taking jobs younger American -- and even immigrant -- teens have had in the past.

Wrote Camarota, “The labor force participation of immigrant teenagers has also declined, though it was low even in the early 1990s. This, along with the similar decline for U.S.-born teens from all racial and income backgrounds, supports the idea that the arrival of so many adult immigrants, who often take jobs traditionally done by teenagers, crowds all teenagers out of the labor force, both U.S.-born and foreign-born.”
