Selective outrage
Now that the Democrats and the left have failed to rid Donald Trump of his presidency they have to manufacture another crisis to be outraged about to lather up the base: the border.
Of course there is no mention anywhere in the fake news media that the policy of separating children has been in place during the Obama years. No rage then! You may wonder why that policy even exists? Many of the children brought into this country illegally are not brought with their own parents but by “coyotes” or non-family members. The children are separated to protect them!
Also, the illegals are coached in what to say to authorities when they get to the border. Did you know when they claim asylum that they need to be detained longer to vet their claim? Did you also know that 80 percent of asylum seekers are sent back to Mexico because their claims are bogus?
President Trump didn’t start this policy when he became president but he can be the one to fix it by building the wall. Remember, the left needs open borders because they see that as a permanent voting bloc for generations.
