After the horrific things being done in our name at the border and the hateful and racist language being used to justify it, I have lost interest in debating anyone who still supports this monster.

Was it because I used the words "witch hunt"?

Maybe I can get an answer here. What do you think our immigration policies should be?

If you can, answer in in the positive mode - it should be this and this and this.

Also, I don't know of any hateful and/or racist things being said. Could you give some examples and/or links?

Ted Cruz has actually put forth legislation that would address the issues the Trump admin created by implementing a zero tolerance policy for all first time immigration offenders.

I think one aspect isn’t realistic given that I doubt even the increase in judges he proposes would deal with the backlog of cases AND all new cases.

IMO, zero tolerance policies are rarely better than policies where some discretion is left to enforcers. Not a big fan of zero tolerance policies, whether they be in drug enforcement or any other kind. Sometimes leaving it to the judgement of law enforcement or judges goes awry (Stanford rape case), but more often it imparts justice.

Lad, since JAAO is off sulking, maybe you can tell me what is being said that is racist. I have not followed this that closely, but I have heard nothing reported as racist, and I have had CNN on for some of the time.
