This isn't the fault of any single president nor any single government policy. But it screams out that there is a need to help people in countries have a better life so they won't believe its worth their lives to come here...
Here is the story that the tweet refers to... :http://100photos.time.com/photos/nilufer-demir-alan-kurdi
OK, I wasn't clear why some were suggesting trump was to blame for the deaths of the man and his two year daughter. It turns out there is a connection... turns out there is a trump policy called "metering"...

Here are the facts that white nationalists like @Senator and @dachuda86 don't want you to know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States Let's just call Trump's fight against illegals what it is: racism.
House Democrats, backed into political corner, cave on border funding deal House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday abandoned efforts to pass a $4.5 billion border funding bill laced with progressive provisions after facing opposition from the Senate and her own moderate wing. The decision came after Pelosi, D-Calif., was assured during a phone call with Vice President Mike Pence that the administration would add extra funding to aid migrant children held at border shelters. The House will instead vote on a bipartisan $4.6 billion Senate bill that passed 84-8 on Wednesday. The Senate bill also includes money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and extra funding for the military to send troops to the border. Progressives are staunchly opposed to ICE and military funding because they oppose efforts to either stem the massive influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border, or efforts to deport those who have remained here illegally.
trump, his admin, and his supporters are attempting to blame the parents... but their own homeland security and border experts are placing the blame on trump's metering policy...

I thought this was appropriate here. From Will Hurd. https://www.rawstory.com/2019/06/te...ic-things-like-how-not-to-be-a-racist-asshle/
Such a hard worker... only had two things on his schedule, and he canceled the immigration meeting with (republican) congressmen so the only thing trump did today was watch fox & friends, tweet and eat lunch...
Thanks for clearing this up. Much better. If they didn't understand the legal requirement for Asylum then they deserved to die. Let's not worry about that anymore. Case closed.
o'reilley bloviates a story that at best misleads if not lies... but hey, its his "no-spin" effort to support trump's nationalist immigration laws...
Trump sure curb stomped the libs on this one! Instead of passing something, all we got are cruel and sadistic detention centers that makes gitmo interrogators blush at the treatment of non-citizens. America is Great! God is Great!
Wow, the range of views from thread posters is incredible. There are rational paths to legal immigration and some views that are over the top (both pro and con. However, I think all of us agree that a resolution is critical. I apologize for abandoning the thread for so long but I had some major health issues with wihich to deal, including losing my left leg. It took a little time but now I can, once again, walk normally and even climb stairs thanks to my prosthetic (nicknamed Spike because saying prosthetic repeatedly is too tough on the tongue). Maybe it is time to start a new thread where all interested posters enter their immigration solutions and prohibitions. Thumbs now believes 1) a physical or electronic wall is necessary (a change in my thinking); 2) free health care and education should be denied to illegal immigrations; and 3) fines of $1,000 per illegal worker per week on emplo.yers who hire them outside the e-verify laws; 4) fines of $1,000 per illigal immigration housed in their apartment or other leased dwelling. I can't believe how harsh and ugly that sounds, especially for those of you who know I am Hispanic. However, I am a U.S. citiizen first. Because we as a nation have done virtually nothingj, we are importing trouble on a daily basis. Agreements? Refutations? Thoughts? I love humor but this is too sad a topic for jokes. I want to see an end to opioid deaths; the misery caused by human trafficing (the polite way of saving slavery.
