I just saw on the news VP Harris will finally visit the border. She will go to El Paso and see for herself the situation. But she will be safe about 700mi from the hot bed of illegal crossings. I wonder why she doesn't want to see close up the detention camps and kids in cages like she said on the election trail. This will be interesting to see how the media will cover it. Soft ball or hard ball news coverage.
Hmmm...Odd thing is this news came after Trump said he will visit the border later this month.

VP Harris walked into a shit show on all fronts, and has been working very hard to fix some of the mess. She hasn't even been in office 6 months, so she gets a pass in my book.
Who gives a flying F what trump does? He caged those kids and separated families to make this mess worse! He's just a baby because the media doesn't care about him, so he's trying to get back into the spotlight. Egomaniac, moronic 2 yr old.

I thought Trump was going to see that beautiful wall that Mexico paid for! Oh, and yes, the President and VP sit around all day trying to see what Trump is doing so they can plan their day..... Hey, I got an idea, Trump could rally his troops like he did for Jan 6th to go to the border. They can fight like hell!!!!

Odd, or no surprise whatsoever. You know the schedule of the VP and the President is generally public if you know where to look right? And not all Trumpers have left the WH, so might be part of a spy network for Trump. right? .... I'll say more, but who is campaigning to get his job back?

The earliest visit to the southern border by Mike Pence, that I could verify, was April 2018. He gained the office of VP in Jan. 2017. So what was your alleged point again?

the point is that she is a black woman and he is about the whitest dude I have ever seen. therefore, every one of her shortcomings will get billboard attention, and none of his will.
duh.

Same place I was when Obama actually built the 'cages'.
BTW ...... those 'cages' are actually a good idea. It keeps little kids safe from being molested during the night by older 'kids'.
Rant away ....... you have my permission

Rant away ....... you have my permission Did you criticize Trump about it? How about separating young children from their parents( many who are still separated)? My wife asked how they were identifying these children, as many were too young to know there full name. She recognized the problem immediately. It appears the trump administration didn’t. If you didn’t criticize trump and his administration then, spare me the criticism now.

I am not surprised the conservatives are coming out constantly against her, although if rip's posts are any indication, not very well. I thought there would be more press about the second gentleman, but maybe because he's white they are ignoring him?

Trump hates paper trails and documentation. Makes it easier for him to be prosecuted.

Obama built a facility for unaccompanied minors. Trump had them ripped away from their families.
If the minors were 'unaccompanied', that means they had no family with them to be ripped away from.
Which is it?

Which is it? English is hard, I know. You know Trump separated families as a way to punish them and deter others. They did it with no plan as to how to re-unite families. In addition to families showing up, children(unaccompanied minors) came to the border, alone and without their parents. These are who Obama built these facilities for. If Trump didn’t do the inhumane act of separating young children from their families, no one would have an issue. Unless you agree with separating 3 yo from their families

but that is NOT the issue. as pmd pointed out, this is about, to put it dramatically, ripping kids from the arms of their parents, consigning them to some creepy baby trafficking cult, and leaving no paper trail. that particular hideousness was 100% Trump/co. please stop blaming Obama.
was that stark enough for you? because if not, I can be even more dramatic.

English is hard, I know.
Use a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word 'unaccompanied'.
I'll wait
