    Even if it is, that's some high level of pettiness for a First Lady to take part in. Totally unprofessional, and horrible timing to do so while going to see those kids and families at the border.

    It's probably a comment from Melania to Donald: whatever feeling I once had for you is gone, gone, gone.

    It's good to keep a sense of humor these days. We should. It helps balance out the serious crap we are needing to focus on.

    Like the abuse of children being detained.



    And much more happening these days.

    And the most recent anti-immigration display from Trump.
    His signature on each photo of the deceased person ...

    He even joked about one of the deceased kids looking like Tom Selleck, only better looking. So tone deaf. He also opened the event by saying some of the ICE/law enforcement officers were "good looking"? Wh-why?

    There is no dignity in our president. But Trump clearly considers that a feature to continue to exploit, not a problem.

    This is interesting. A reimagined for our times propaganda video ...

    Also, George Takei has been (more than a few times) reminding us of his family's internment during WWII.

    "People are suffering because of the Democrats," Trump said. "So we've created and they've created and they've let it happen. A massive child smuggling industry is exactly what it's become."
    Covering his ass for the lost kids...

    I will TRY, but you have to ask, when you SEE fascism taking hold of YOUR country, when you SEE children's lives and family's live being damaged and/or destroyed for political or economic gain, are swear words REALLY all that important? If a **** matters more than human life, then maybe I'm on the wrong site....

    Let's not be too over dramatic @chrisisall, this is a James Bond forum first and foremost.
    Whilst multiple topics are and can be discussed, the reason for the site is because of our love and enjoyment of James Bond.
    No one would argue with you regarding the importance of any human or animal life.
    But we simply ask that the use of profanity not be used. Regardless of how strong your feelings. Please.

    Fair enough. I was in panic mode last night. I think it's TIME to be in panic mode. Actually PAST time to be in panic mode. My country is collapsing before our eyes...

    I wonder : will Cuban refugees and exiles be next ? After all, they're in the US illegally. So, will Trump target them ? That would open a new can of worms, and maybe cost him the support of a good portion of the GOP.

    Oh, and don't think being white will protect you either. Here's what happened to a young french tourist who entered the US by accident :

    How is @Gerard being ridiculous? It's a perfectly appropriate question.

    Asylum seekers and illegal immigrants aren t exactly the same.

    People of color are being targeted throughout the U.S. and that has risen during Trump's time in office; he encourages fear, racism, and isolationism. I do not think that can be disputed at this point. So, no, it is not a ridiculous thought, actually, to be concerned about all people in the U.S. at the moment who are not looking to fit the white "Wonder bread" type.

    Immigrants currently being held - some are entering legally and still detained. These are muddy waters at the moment. Also, many are only committing a misdemeanor and actions taken against them are way out of proportion.

    This is an ongoing, evolving situation that needs to have continued full cry public awareness to halt the abuse and to make genuine, concerted efforts to reunite the children with their parent or family member.

    More than a few lawsuits happening. We can just hope things progress in a positive way. This situation is still very bad.

    Please keep up with the news. Asylum seekers are indeed being treated exactly the same as illegal immigrants.

    Gerard was referring specifically to the possibility of Trump deporting Cubans.

    Cubans are largely Republican voters.

    Again: Ridiculous.

    Well, you are entitled to say your opinion, yes. My opinion - having grown up in Florida, with Cuban-American friends and neighbors, is that many have been Republican, yes. That does NOT mean they are okay with current immigration policy. It also does not mean that they are never harassed or do not face racism in their own daily lives. Plenty of U.S. citizens who are of non-white appearance are discriminated upon daily. It is an ongoing problem American is confronted with.

    The intolerance towards immigrants and people of color by the Trump administration is infecting and infesting (yes, I'm using his own word deliberately) our country.

    I do not think it a ridiculous statement, but I don't want to argue about this back and forth. We have our own opinions, and we can and will differ on some things.

    The majority of SNAP recipients are also Republican voters, yet Don is cutting the program.
    What was your point again-? ;)

    Miami Herald article (and video) - newborns to age 5 being detained/sheltered/held in licensed facility in Miami area. At least these are accounted for. They need to be reunited with their parent asap.

    Coming from someone who hates Trump and his administration, this still is not okay.
