it's not true at all. what a surprise: cruz lied about something!

i disagree with both assessments. it's not because we don't beat children anymore. it's because we let anyone have a gun any old time.

@genessa I didn't really want to beat the children and I fully agree with your gun remarks. I used to be a gun advocate and practiced with one all the time. Not any more. Today I learned that a friend who never had guns has bought a handgun. We are too afraid today. I've known that man a good portion of my life and he never had a gun. These days the idiot thinks Trump could solve any border problem simply by shooting the ones that cross dead on the spot. What an idiot. I pissed him off when I told him so too.

@DenoPenno i bet! and i also bet he doesn't know that crossing the border without permission is a misdemeanor. shooting people... not so much! it has always amazed me that rape Ifor example) often has a statute of limitations of five or 10 years (depending on the state) but ice comes after people who, having committed this misdemeanor, then spent the next 30 or so years as model residents, raising families and contributing to the economy and to society.

@genessa This is exactly why I cannot look at Trump's America as my America. The man is unhinged.

@JustKip yes but trump isn't going after them. a lot of them come from europe or asia. he is going after latinos and latinas specifically, and he doesn't even care if they crossed the border at all. he is going after people who came to the border and presented themselves properly, requesting asylum. he is treating them as criminals.

@JustKip they'd be late because they'd be stopping at my house first!

g

that he most certainly is!
