But like I wrote... my last flight to Honduras was 14 years ago.

The same website shows "Adult Female Illiteracy" at 50%. Hmm.

I agree with you 100% on that. We have some common ground. I’m all for securing the border. Detaining and deporting if needed. The thing I object to is a 4 or 5 year old potentially never seeing their parents again. I didn’t know my address or phone number when I was 5 years old. I’m surprised by parents who support the policy of potentially forever separating a child from his or her parents. I don’t care who you are that’s wrong. It’s not “playing the lack of compassion card” it’s the reality of what was happening. Thankfully Trump made the correct call and put a stop to it.

So exactly how do you do that? I mean where do you house the children? Put them in holding pens with the adult men, some of whom are certainly repeat criminals who have been deported for violent crimes. The CBP just doesn't have a bunch of secure little apartments waiting for occupancy by illegals.

As for the what the Pope thinks of children, watch this video of the
priest slap the snot out of a toddler

But, if parents of kids in the US went to jail, they would be separated too. So I don't follow your logic.

CBP does all they can to find living relatives in the US to hand these kids off to while they wait.

A TYPICAL white male has NEVER faced discrimination and had EVERY door open to them? Out of curiosity, could you please tell me how you personally would define the words Prejudice and Racism.

Based on your personal statements above, I contend that you are exhibiting prejudice tendencies and are a racist.

The exact same argument can be made against the coastal population centers that espouse far left political views.

It should be bookended on the west coast with a Statue of Responsibility. Any Republic worth it’s salt should have a balance of these two.

American Airlines did a good thing today. If you are upset by this, it says more about YOU than anything else. Like your ancestors, again you are on the wrong side of history.
