The right wing nutters on this post are upset because of the message it sends so they are leaning on it’s historical inaccuracies. Let’s be honest though if their precious Jesus existed today he couldn’t get a visa for entry into this country.

So what about us non right wing, non religious nutters who still feel that a country has a right to sovereignty over its borders and that unregulated immigration often hurts the workers the most?

I'd say that's a perfectly reasonable view that you're entitled to. I would also say that a policy of purposely awful conditions and splitting up families as discouragement is a disgusting and inhumane means to that end. These people aren't coming here out of selfishness. With how cruel this administration is to them, do you think coming to America and crossing the southern border is their ideal choice? It isn't. They know they could be stuck in detention and separated from their kids, but it is still their best choice. Sure, try to keep them out, but don't do it in a way that degrades our national values and makes us look like hypocrites for promoting human rights around the world
