Trump decries migrant children: 'They're not innocent'

I am anti-illegal immigration, but I do believe that Trump's hardline stance really goes too far. There needs to be some nuance to his worldview, instead of the hammer. Evangelicals who do immigration should persuade Trump to be less harsh about these penalties.

Obviously those who see this as wrong don't understand the gang problems along the border. The biggest gangs are ones like M13 or the Mexican Mafia. Most young kids who are latino end up joining the gang because they tend to live in poor conditions and its gives them a "thrill". No obviously claiming a child is not innocent makes no sense, however I do see the point about odds are they will join these gangs. Watch shows like Lockdown and what not. Its scary how massive the gangs are near the border and how many kids join.

I believe Trump was talking about MS-13 gang members.

I read somewhere that the age of 17 is when people are most violent. So, indeed, Trump is right. These minors may look innocent, but the're not.
Lock em up!

Only white children are innocent.

Am I wrong? That's why we don't weep when those non-whites are killed. They deserve it. Most aren't even Christian. I bet you didn't think if that.

No, I never thought of not caring that someone died, because they were not Christian. I think that you have a whole lot of hatred in your heart if you think that way.

It can't be that bad. It seems to me we just saw that, and we were pretty okay with it.
