It doesn't matter whose choice it was we should NEVER blame the victims but have compassion for them and sympathy. Children shouldn't suffer for the actions of their elders.

Dangers of the trip - what about the dangers of staying where they were? They had no future there. How can you be so cold hearted? Do you feel the same about the Europeans who put their children in danger crossing the ocean with all it's perils?

Not a peep then because they didn't stay in them for long,... days not weeks and months. Trump admitted he was abusing the children to discourage the parents from trying to here (for a better life.) You have a way of blaming everyone but the people responsible for the suffering and cruelty. Where is your compassion and sympathy?

It could have been more humanely handled by NOT separating the children from their parents or elders.

You follow a very limited area where what's going on is concerned. You do realize nothing else will matter when there is little drinkable water, space to live is limited by an overheated earth suffering constant wild storms, food in constant short supply, people getting more cancer and other diseases from the increase in toxic pollution that is now being allowed once again. Remember Love Canal in NY? Remember Rachael Carson's "The Silent spring?" You don't don't have to be a anti-hunting tree hugger to be concerned about the environment. It's what we're leaving our descendants who we should not be selfish and not care about.

As I recall no one really knew what happened there, and it was federal land. It was not the rancher's land. Giving the states control is going to help the environment how? Remember clear cutting that left mountains bare, removing all wildlife and causing deadly mudslides in some of the eastern states? The pollution caused by coal mines in the past. You can't leave greedy capitalists to have that kind of power to make a profit today and to hell with tomorrow. Do you have any concern or compassion for the wildlife being driven to extinction by man's hunger for wealth and power?

Maybe we should blame the victims, the wildlife and the common need for clean water and air for cutting into some huge Corp's profits. Profits YOU will never share as more and more wealth goes to the top and more people become homeless.

If Reps cared about those children and the relaxing of toxic waste laws, the heating planet and the less fortunate they would speak up - are they? No, they are as silent as the German people were when the Nazi started to kill the Gypsies and Jews. So entranced with their Führer they would have supported him had he shot someone right in front of them on their own street.

Remind you of Trump's 5th Ave claim?
