    I wonder how many of the people in this thread complaining about foreign children also scream about how we need more kids ala Musk

      But they came here legally and were pending an asylum case.

        OP doesn't care - notice how they didn't even try to somehow sanewash using immigration status. They also decided to use a throwaway because deep down they know that too.

      Is this to say that law enforcement detaining children on their way home from school is a good thing?

      > Foriegners (sic) cannot simply come to America and enroll their children for free schooling in the US. Not only is it economically unsustainable but it is theft of resources from everyone who has built and contributed to the system previously

      My school district is shutting down schools because there aren't enough children anymore [0]. We're one of the best public school districts nationally. "Foreigners" clearly aren't eating up resources.

      Doesn't matter anyhow - those of us who can afford to live in rich school districts win either way.

      The culture war you are fighting is for plebs - those of us with money and network win either way.

      From the article: "Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point. The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them and he believes the father and son have remained together in detention."

      Sounds like they followed the rules and laws. Homeland Security calls everyone they detain illegal aliens but doesn't have to prove that either.

    Combine dumb, unqualified people with a rigid command structure and this is what you get.

    Trumpists have already called ICE murdering a white US citizen mom as self defense. There's nothing they wouldn't justify until it personally impacts them (and even then it would be a 50-50), so the fact that some comments justify ICE snatching five year olds from street doesn't mean much.

      I dont think ICE is going after the kid, The father probably left his kid behind when ICE was trying to detain him, and now we got this headline.

        They took the kid, that already is horrible. This shouldn't have happened.

        TFA says that ice approaches the kid and made him knock on his own door for them, so no, this doesn’t comport with the reporting here at all.

      "Trumpists have already called ICE murdering a white US citizen mom as self defense."

      Did we watch the same video? She was harassing ICE agents all day and from the ICE agent's perspective, he had no way of knowing if she was going to kill him or not while almost running him over.

      Hardly what I would call 'murder'.

      "So the fact that some comments justify ICE snatching five year olds from street doesn't mean much."

      You clearly have no understanding of the situation. Ice was arresting the father and he left the 5-year old boy behind. They actually protected/watched him.

      This is why the country is slowly inching toward a civil war.

        The country is heading towards a civil war because we've got a bunch of understandably angry people who rather than organizing to do anything constructive, choose instead to follow a hollow con artist telling them that capricious state-sanctioned violence against their fellow humans is good and righteous.

        Stop reading your government propaganda, touch grass (or snow), and get your head screwed on straight by reading the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
