Right? Especially one that is in no way in her native language?

What if Betsy DeVos' missing yacht was loaded with the immigrant children whose parents have already been deported, on their way to who knows what horrifying destination? It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

"She told me that she thought I was never going to be with her again"

The day that the United States stopped trying to condemn Joseph Kony and just started channelling him. You could also bring him in on a valid visa and get him to run one of those 'facilities' seeing as the those Nazi camp administrators must be well into their 90s now.

Oh look. You is so clever! Now why don't you fuck off and die you pathetic piece of shit.

If you want to post this drivel, have the actual courage to do it as yourself. Or is that a concept that doesn't fit with your 'alt-right' sensibilities?

TL/DR? This is the troll using a fake account for a Wonkette regular.

First of all, Trump has proven that undocumented immigrants CAN be detained. For any or no reason. So the whole meme is based on a lie. And to my knowledge, these immigrants do not transmit rabies or distemper.

Just one thing to point out:

Under a 2008 law signed by President George W. Bush, migrant children who are from countries other than Canada and Mexico must be granted an immigration hearing and meet with an advocate. Because of the backlog, this process can take months or years. The law, which had bipartisan support, was intended to stop sex trafficking and protect immigrant minors from being quickly deported. Instead, it has left thousands of children languishing in "short-term hold rooms," essentially crammed jail cells until child-appropriate shelters are found. Once such housing is available, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, under the department of Health and Human Services, assumes responsibility for the children.

HHS places minors either in foster care, with family or a sponsor. The majority of unaccompanied minors end up in California, New York, Texas, and the Washington DC area that includes Maryland and Virginia — states that have large Central American populations and thus large MS-13 populations. ... MS-13 preys on the vulnerability of the unaccompanied minors.

Obama's admin literally handed children to a sex trafficking ring. Indictments ensued.

It’s the sanitation of history that really dehumanizes immigrants. Same sh*t, different POTUS. How the heck did you think we were going to manage housing hundreds of thousands of illegal children entering our country each month, year after year?

Makes this story a little unlikely, yes?

I don't know know why I keep thinking of "The Second Coming", by William Butler Yeats since Trump was appointed by our Republican electors. The line that continues to resonate with me is "The ceremony of innocence is drowned;" closely followed by "The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ are full of passionate intensity". We live not in interesting times, but in heartbreaking times for anyone with any empathy or human decency.

Right-wing group protests against (center-)left government, goes armed to the teeth. Government doesn't want to be responsible for escalating into a shootout and killing a bunch of civilians, so pretty much waits it out.

Left-wing group protests against right-wing authoritarian government, and let's say they've snapped and are packing weapons as well. Authoritarian government doesn't care, sends in Predator drones and massacres protesters, then they and their followers praise themselves for not risking law enforcement's lives against those "animals".

We still need to be protesting in droves, though.
