Mika was an early enabler of Donald Trump. Does she remember that?

They are not a soccer team....yet!
There could still be a feel good uplifting movie about all of this!
They took them from their parents. They caged them. They gave them foil blankets. They gave them expired Lunchables.
But hey, they played soccer.

Maybe trump someway somehow changes his mind (although when has he done that amirite???) and makes them US citizens.
They play on the prison soccer team. They excel. Its the American dream!!!
And they lead the usmnt to the world cup finals on home soil in 2026 eventually finishing second to canada
Cinderella story!!!

From the keyboard of Barack Obama...
Today is World Refugee Day.
If you've been fortunate enough to have been born in America, imagine for a moment if circumstance had placed you somewhere else. Imagine if you'd been born in a country where you grew up fearing for your life, and eventually the lives of your children. A place where you finally found yourself so desperate to flee persecution, violence, and suffering that you'd be willing to travel thousands of miles under cover of darkness, enduring dangerous conditions, propelled forward by that very human impulse to create for our kids a better life.
That's the reality for so many of the families whose plights we see and heart-rending cries we hear. And to watch those families broken apart in real time puts to us a very simple question: are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents’ arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together? Do we look away, or do we choose to see something of ourselves and our children?
Our ability to imagine ourselves in the shoes of others, to say “there but for the grace of God go I,” is part of what makes us human. And to find a way to welcome the refugee and the immigrant – to be big enough and wise enough to uphold our laws and honor our values at the same time – is part of what makes us American. After all, almost all of us were strangers once, too. Whether our families crossed the Atlantic, the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we’re only here because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, how our last names sound, or the way we worship. To be an American is to have a shared commitment to an ideal – that all of us are created equal, and all of us deserve the chance to become something better.
That’s the legacy our parents and grandparents and generations before created for us, and it’s something we have to protect for the generations to come. But we have to do more than say “this isn’t who we are.” We have to prove it – through our policies, our laws, our actions, and our votes.

Don't think I was spreading any bullshit and agreed that Trump started this whole mess.

Believing that if there was a solution to this predicated solely on "the wall" it was worth giving them that in return for not tearing families apart is hardly "spreading bullshit".
Nobody here thought anything involving this policy was anything other than abhorrent. Don't put words into peoples' mouths.
And keep in mind that thousands of kids are now likely permanently scarred from this, that families are still going to be tossed into cages awaiting deportation, that CBP are still acting on "Zero Tolerance" orders and Trump still wants his wall and will be doing everything he can other than separating children from their parents to make the lives of illegal border crossers a living hell until he gets absolutely everything he wants on immigration. If giving him the wall in exchange for assurances that all of that shit stops, it's still worth it.

Part of me agrees with you, part of me doesn't.
By itself if you ask me if its worth the wall funding to reunite the kids with their families I would say sure. But whats next after that?
Do you think there are boundaries that Trump wouldn't cross? Whats going to be the concession next time? Withholding Medicaid Prescriptions until Social Security is revamped?
Trump and his people did this in they alone shoulder the blame.
