Luckily, Ann Coulter has deduced that these crybabies are simply child actors.
What. the. fuck. is wrong with these people? They're literally holding children hostage in an attempt to secure funding to put up a border wall. And an increasing number of them concoct delusions of conspiracy in which they themselves are always the victim, no doubt taking cues from the president's tweets. This country is teetering on the edge of irreparable.
I could only listen to a few minutes of audio. How can a parent, whether Democrat or Republican, support this?
Racism.
So the common defense is that it's the parents' fault because they broke the law (trying to provide a better life for their children which you'd think would impart some empathy). They have no options but to cross the border illegally because the Trump administration has closed the only port of entry. In order to apply for asylum, you have to do so in the US. So by default asylum-seeking immigrants have to cross the border illegally. A crime that is a misdemeanor. And this is our current response to a misdemeanor. How can you support this? Because you're a fucking racist and think these people are less than human.

Yeah. Most of the time when the US does something that appears evil there's at least a rationale (even if an erroneous one) as to why it's for the ultimate good, and so morally ambiguous at worst. There is none here. It is pure, unadulterated evil. I'm sad that America has reached a point where you don't need to be a Soviet propagandist to call it evil.
