Anyone who was complicit in this horror deserves prison and worse
Trump was worried about people from Mexico bringing violence to our country, remember Jan 6 2021. We should have looked a little closer to home.
I'm convinced. The president did not deserve 4 more years, he should not have been allowed the post in the first place!
If Jenri doesnt get hir parents back hes gonna go full Mexican joker on us.
Jesus fucking christ I hate the absurd number racist people in the US, fuck the government they're only in power because of the racists supporting them. I have family members that came illegally to the US, with kids. Imagining this happening to them fucking enrages me. I cant even enjoy the show
“that’s right, ive got you business daddy, ive got you so good. what are you gonna do about it? i’m right here!” I still reference this line today 😂😂😂
And Dumptruck just pardoned that piece of shit!
JPworldss subtitles might have a problem. It said music when the kid was crying. It might have failed at goggles Moto just a bit. (Don't be evil)
Those detention places are terrible, I know because my mother and I were in a place like that. I started doing a video series to tell my story. Here is a link to the video. I am trying to tell our stories so they are not forgotten. jpworlds.info/up/bideo/eWK8gMmZbpmrqJM&pbjreload=101
@Lord Buckethead thank you! I’m just hoping to tell what happens in there from my perspective.
I hope you overcome this experience, I am very sorry that happened to you
Young strong men coming to our country....women don't want that.... Also Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steel sold like no books. Women are really into Stephen King and Tom Clancy. Women don't want to read the books of Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steel, and neither do men, but women really don't want to. Their sales are low! Note: The description John Oliver gave right away made me think of old fashioned paperback romance novels in the drug store around the corner from where I grew up. I even thought he might go with that angle, but I was surprised he didn't. It's racist yes, but it also excuses the fact novels written about this have sold hundreds of millions of copies mostly to women. That's not sexist. That's a fact. And these aren't horror or thrillers novels. They are romance novels so women aren't scared or hateful of this? Also, I know many women enjoy Stephen King and Tom Clancy but I just wanted to use that to make my point.
Hi. It's 2 years later. The caravan never came.
Ur country sucks
This makes me sad 😢😢😢
I can't believe 70 million people voted for this shit.
How the fuck is crossing a line on a map a crime?
I considered voting trump, but chose biden instead for entirely separate reasons. This however is reaffirms I made the right choice
And two years later there's almost 1000 kids that the government has no idea where their parents are.
@BenJamin Croft If you're tired of getting your bullshit called out, you're welcome to stop.
@Stephen2462 Still gnawing away at this? smh & rme...
@BenJamin Croft Says the pathetic lying shill. XD
@Stephen2462 AKA, you've got nothing. I've presented my factual evidence. For you to say, *"You've got nothing for me to conflict with,"* is a glorious absence of sophistication on your part. I've won, you've lost. End of discussion.
@BenJamin Croft You've nothing for me to conflict with, just your usual stupid copypastas full of misinformation and conspiracy bullshit.
I tried to share this with my parents and was called a bleeding heart. I didn't speak to them for two years, then shared this with them again and asked them how they felt. PS. It was a nice surprise to learn my dad stopped drinking.
@BenJamin Croft So what? That doesn't change the fact the Trump administration is full of disgusting assholes. And you'e just a pathetic shill trying to deflect blame from them.
@Stephen2462 You can't save everyone. To even think that way is preposterous on so many levels.
@BenJamin Croft Says the loser trying to defend said "bottomless suffering."
If you can't handle a little suffering then you bring on bottomless suffering.
The trump administration immigration policy is just terrible, evil and racist and the way how I see their policy of forcefully stealing children from their parents and denying people asylum is almost as bad as the nazies
@BenJamin Croft That's what I've been doing this entire time. XD
@Stephen2462 ok Santa Clause. Whatever it is you need to say to make you feel better. 👌
@BenJamin Croft It really says something about you that whenever it seems like you're starting to exhibit self-awareness, it just turns out to be a new copypasta.
@Stephen2462 Feeling better yet Santa Clause?
@BenJamin Croft Yes, yes, you REALLY want me to go away so you can go back to foisting copypasted propaganda at people without interference. Too bad.
Saw Harris in the background. VP elect woohoo! We are getting somewhere.
What's your solution? The only choices I see being offered here are between xenophobic idiots who are trying to solve the problem badly and elitist intellectuals who poke fun at their efforts but don't propose any actual alternative solution of their own.
@BenJamin Croft STFU
@BenJamin Croft Yes, yes, you REALLY don't want to acknowledge that's you're just a pathetic shill. Too bad.
@Stephen2462 The only thing you've proven are logical fallacies, ad hominems, bureaucratic dodges and acting in bad faith. Which all amount to you having no argument.
@BenJamin Croft All you've proven is that you're a pathetic Trumpie shill and a liar, as you've just demonstrated.
@Stephen2462 I've always agreed with you that our immigration system is in serious need of an overhaul and that we share the same common interests in doing it. All except for the wall is were we can't find any common ground. Even though I've proven time and time again that a wall does in fact work and it's not that expensive to build and maintain.
My parents probably came in the us illegally and they haven't done any crimes or anything illegal soooo
This policy towards Immigrants is Horrendous and reminds me of what the Nazi's did during WW 2 ! I'll bet anything that if it were those politician's kids that were taken away; they'd be screaming murder in a second ! This makes America 1 of the Worst countries in the world and Definitely Not the greatest !! But that's what you get when you put a Xenophobic Fascist in charge !
@BenJamin Croft Throwing people in camps and subjecting them to systematic abuse and neglect. Just because things arn't death camp bad yet doesn't mean they are (were?) headed in that direction.
LOL! Comparing the U.S's immigration system to how the Nazi's treated people is a glorious absence of sophistication. smh... What are we doing to immigrants that the Nazi's did?
Honestly trumps statement at the start sounded like the beginning of really bad porn
I’d feel safer with those immigrants from different countries than I would with Donald trump
That video was heartbreaking man, fuck Trump.
It's pretty telling when Republicans who claim to advocate for the importance of the family unit are supporting this policy and the dufus who is behind it.
@BenJamin Croft Precisely my point.
@Stephen2462 It's ok Santa Clause, it's ok. You can stick around for as long as you want. 👌
@BenJamin Croft What do you mean, what's wrong? I'm not the one that's desperate for me to leave. XD
@Stephen2462 What's wrong Santa? I don't have to prove anything because your the one who's making the claim. Innocent until proven guilty. Remember Santa?
@BenJamin Croft In short, you're back to repeating yourself over and over in hopes I'll go away.
This is completely unacceptable. I don't think I've ever seen John genuinely this angry about anything before, and it'd be wrong if he wasn't! This needs to stop. Vote for Joe Biden-Harris this November, or else this horrific separation between children and their parents will keep happening. Like this video shows, some kids have massive trauma because of it, thinking that their parents don't love them, and some don't even remember them anymore! This needs to stop. Share this video and spread the word. Thank you for your time
@Stephen2462 It's ok to be that way Santa Clause. It's ok. Just keep letting it out until you feel better. Then you can put this hole ugly experience behind you.
@BenJamin Croft Aaaand you're stuck on repeat. Laaaaaaame
@Stephen2462 Feel better yet Santa Clause? LOL!
@BenJamin Croft So it looks likes you're just projecting your own frustration now. Or something.
@Stephen2462 Still not feeling better? It's ok Santa, it's ok. Let it all out. LOL!
It’s November 2020 and around 600 Children cannot be matches to their parents.
Interesting how this subject has mostly completely disappeared. We should absolutely handle issues like this, but the media needs to stop letting Trump build his bonfires out of them. Hopefully in a few months, we can kick him to the curb and throw his open suitcases into the streets, and shove his wall and immigration policies up his backside. How did immigration become such an issue, anyway? Because Trump brought it up as a subject along with his border wall?
@BenJamin Croft Nope, just calling out your copypasted bullshit like always.
@Stephen2462 Another insult and dodge. AKA not an argument.
@BenJamin Croft And now you're going in circles again. What a loser. XD
@Stephen2462 Not an argument.
@BenJamin Croft Thank you for further demonstrating your willingness to lie.
Funny how I’m every republican ad convincing the public they’re not safe it’s a fair blonde white woman and a scruffy or darker toned man in a hoodie. Clearly they know their audience.
What cracked me up when this unfurled was Republicans constantly saying “It’s an invasion... These Immigrants are invading.” Yes only they can see a bunch of dirt poor people walking in tattered shoes and flip flops with their children in tow and say it’s an invasion.
@BenJamin Croft You expect me to make your argument for you now? What a joke. XD Nope, I was doing things irl. I know it's hard for you to grasp as a pathetic Trumpie shill, but this is just entertainment for me; I have responsibilities and desires beyond calling out bullshit n the internet.
@Stephen2462 Taking longer than usual to reply back I notice. No snappy come back ad hominem? You must be googling everything you can right now about how we legally deal with noncitizens vs citizens right now. smh & rme... Hence, ad ignorantiam or argument from ignorance.
@Stephen2462 Then why don't you explain some of the differences and complexities in how we legally handle noncitizens vs citizens?
@BenJamin Croft Ah, I see. You have no argument, so you're desperately trying to deflect from it with silly baseless insults. loooooool
@Stephen2462 They do. Just not in the way you're arbitrarily thinking. See. You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Hence why you repeatedly fall back on ad ignorantiam or argument from ignorance. It's ok. A lot people rely on logical fallacies when they lie by arbitrarily claiming they know what they're talking about. smh...
My friends sat Obama stared the cages...lm check that out
@BenJamin Croft Yes, yes, you REALLY want to misdirect the blame for the Trump administration's fuck ups. Too bad shill
Careful listening to Stephen2462. He likes to gloss over the facts. Here are the actual facts... The Obama Administration _unilaterally_ separated over 90,000 children via his clandestine intimidation tactic against illegal aliens with children. If you illegally cross the border with children, the children will be locked up along with you. That was Obama's immigration policy. Naturally we saw a high influx of just children illegally crossing the border by themselves after that. What a curious, interesting and troubling phenomenon. This is also the time when Obama implemented his catch and release and DACA programs too. Which all of a sudden quickly removed them from these hastily constructed cages. Curiouser and curiouser. Anyway, as anticipated the ACLU and other civil rights parties sued the administration and won. The courts then decided and ruled that you can not lock up children with adults. Wait what? You can't lock children up with adults? No wonder why the ACLU won. Didn't hear any leftwing, SJW, liberal, Democrats losing their minds over this back then. Did you? To this day we still don't know the official number of how many children were separated under Obama. The Democrats are keeping that little tidbit under wraps. I wonder why? Fast forward to Trump. Trump then doubles down on this court order, left over from the Democrats, with his zero tolerance policy. Now all of a sudden leftwing, SJW, liberals and Democrats lose their minds over it. Oh the hypocrisy. And due to this hypocritical public backlash Trump signed an executive order to stop it. Now here comes the ACLU, yet again, suing the Trump Administration. This time to reunite the separated "families" that were effected by his zero tolerance policy. During it's effect the Trump administration separated an estimated 4,368 children. So far less than half of them (2,184) were deemed eligible by the courts to be reunited. As for the rest, so far, the courts couldn't determine their familial relationship, couldn't determin if the child/children may be at risk with the parent or legal guardian, the parent or legal guardian is referred for criminal prosecution, there was reason to suspect the purported parent or legal guardian of human trafficking or smuggling or trafficked by unrelated adults posing as a “family” in an effort to avoid detention, the alleged parent or legal guardian poses a safety risk to the child (e.g. suspected child abuse), the alleged parent or legal guardian has already been deported, the alleged parent or legal guardian waived unification, ect, ect,. So let's do a recap here. At least 90,000 children were indirectly separated from their actual parents by a unilateral Obama Administration intimidation policy. While the Trump Administration's zero tolerance policy separated 2,184 children from their actual parents. At least 90,000 vs 2,184.
It's technically true, but there's critical context your friend either didn't know or deliberately left out. There was a period during the obama administration in which there was a sudden influx of unaccompanied minors, and the Obama administration had to use hastily constructed temporary facilities to hold them until they could figure out what to do with them; kids were only held there for three days or so. The Trump administration, in contrast, made these facilities permanent and expanded them to accommodate the Trump administration's family separation policy. So yes, Obama did build the cages, but they had a very different purpose, and can't really be compared to the sick shit the Trump administration has done.
I am absolutely dying 1:39 what the actual hell
A year later and trumps messed up policy of seperating children still has children seperated from their parents.
I crossed the border, so that means I'm a criminal ?
I had to stop watching this episode of LWT talking about children and the border to watch a new episode of LWT talking about children and the border.
Who build those cages?
@BenJamin Croft Yes, yes, you've already established that you're just a pathetic shill trying to deflect blame away from the Trump administration.
Careful listening to Stephen2462. He likes to gloss over the facts. Here are the actual facts... The reason _why_ we saw an unusually high influx of children illegally crossing our border is because the Obama Administration _unilaterally_ separated over 90,000 children via his clandestine intimidation tactic against illegal aliens with children. If you illegally cross the border with children, the children will be locked up along with you. That was Obama's immigration policy. Naturally we saw a high influx of just children illegally crossing the border by themselves after that. What a curious, interesting and troubling phenomenon.

The Obama administration, but only as a temporary facility to deal with sudden influx of unaccompanied minors. The Trump administration, in contrast, made these facilities permanent and expanded them to accommodate their family separation policy.
ABORTIONISTS FIGHTS about RIPPING KIDS from their Parents in the Border. WHAT A JOKE... This is why Liberals are the Most HYPOCRITICAL HUMAN beings on this planet EARTH.
What a bullshit argument ANTI CHOICERS FIGHT to force women with unwanted pregnancies. WHAT A Joke... This is why right wingers are the most HYPOCRITICAL HUMAN beings on this planet. Its clear that the right wing cultist don't care about 'life' its just a way to shame women.
Lolwhat
There is a special place waiting for the people responsible for this
Who are the spineless creatures who vote for Trump and do not stand upto him. He should be jailed indefinitely as soon as his term gets over. These spineless morons should be jailed for life . They are the actual traitors of the country who are demeaning the american people and maligning the reputation of America
"Ralphie's lost to the balls now." - John Oliver (2018)
The Melting Pot Country? nah. Let's rename it to the Dumpster Fire
America was never intended to be a "melting pot".
"Family separation is perhaps the most emblematic moment of his presidency" And then corona comes
The Trump Administration: The cruelty is the point.
kaykayes
Those kids all most likely have PTSD. How American are we really? What a great Liberty we are.
Do you believe in maintaining and protecting the security and integrity of our borders and the safety and welfare of children?
I going to remember this when the Republicans that catch covid die. They did this, and chose to do it.
Obama and Biden built the cages and separated families, too.
@BenJamin Croft Aaand you're back to repeating the same bullshit like a loser.
@Stephen2462 Not an argument.
@BenJamin Croft Ah, you're multi posting. Thank you for providing even more proof that you are just a shameless liar.
@Stephen2462 That's because we posted at the same time. smh & rme... You still don't have an argument though.
@BenJamin Croft Wow, that copypasta doesn't even address my question. Were you mot paying attention when you picked which copypasta to use, or did your AI prove insufficient? Either way, it's pathetic.
There is no birth right immigration permitted in the UK. Both your parents have to be born in the UK, if you want to be born a citizen (subject of her majesty) yet we have millions of Brits protesting Trump and calling Americans racist 😂😂😂
That's because his administration keeps pulling crap like this. I don't see how Britain's immigration policy is supposed to be relevant to Trump's bigotry.
That video at the end... A little part of my soul died.
Rewatching all of Trump’s thousands of horrible things he did and changed, basically everything he touched😤 stop touching things!!! His toddler thoughts, stupidly, attitude against many leaders, the words he used to talk about them! I’m totally surprised nobody simply had enough and simply get rid of usa, impressive how everyone else maintained calm and above him! Trump embarrassing everyone trying to dominate countries breaking deals helps enemy to team up 🙄 always misses the point but being inspired by and complements dictators how great they had the power now he wants to copy some! too many people overwhelmed with every lie on lie and his delirious behavior, but many Americans never even knew the truth since they only watch news from the one station recommended and controlled by the president!!!! Everyone has to rewatch and remember what he is!
That's not trauma, that's brainwashing. I'm sure everyone hates illegal immigration, except for Capitalists who are not people because they fail to display even the most basic of human characteristics: Empathy. They use and abuse illegal migrants for profit and Trump is one of them.
Make donald drumpf again
So many race traitors
The complete silence of the audience after he shows that video is so depressing
Yeah. I can't believe they fell for it.
Family separation asylum
Asylum seekers
Family Separation they couldn’t even be a baby
And the situation got worse! With Covid-19 hitting these centers, and the reports of the forced hysterectomies.
What the fuck happened to that child to say THAT? When I heard crying, I thought the child was afraid to be separated from their mother again and was going to be very, very 'clingy' for a lack of a better term. That, was a million times worse. Fuck you, Trump.
There is a "rumor" circulating online about this video documentary, "How Family Separation Traumatizes Children" by The Atlantic. Which was obviously made more prominent by having short clips from it being aired on this show. The "rumor" is suggesting that these short segments of the film, that was aired are insinuating that little boy, Jenri, who was crying and saying things like, "You don't love me!", "You're not my mom!", and "I want to go back to jail!" because he was "traumatized" from being separated from his mother for a month, by immigrations and customs, after being detained along with his mother, Anita, for illegally crossing the border, is *not true.* When in actuality, the creators conveniently and deliberately edited out the part that led up to that incident of Jenri lying on the bed, crying and saying those things. The creators edited out the part that shows Jenri's mother trying to calm him down for bedtime, because he is excited about flying on a plane to South Carolina to be with his father tomorrow morning. Jenri refuses to listen, ignores her and continues to act up and even pitches a hissy fit over it. Anita then disciplines him by spanking him. That's why Jenri was crying and saying those things. Because he was disciplined by his mother for not listening to her. *Not* because he was "traumatized" for being separated from his mother for a month. Furthermore, the documentary also leaves out the fact that Jenri suffers from Rickets and that he actually misses being at the detention facility because he got to eat three meals a day with friends that he made while being there. One can easily deduce, that after watching this documentary, that it was clearly edited in such a way in order to insinuate that Jenri was suffering from some kind of PTSD from being separated from his mother. If this is true, then this isn't journalism. The only way to confirm this is to get a hold of the unedited footage. And what a story this would make too. Especially when immigration is a such a hot topic right now. Can't confirm or deny this. The only way is to get in touch with The Atlantic, a very democratic leftwing leaning news organization, who sponsored the documentary, to release the unedited footage. It's been almost 2 years now and still no response back and nobody seems care either. smh...
Obama started it. Trump stopped it. Thank you Trump! See here: jpworlds.info/up/bideo/jGjGo9l3Z2uWvGQ
That child, so young, so broken, by our horrendous treatment of him and his family broke my last straw. This country is sick, so bereft of empathy and care. I will do everything in my power to change it, to make it the shining city on a hill we are supposed to be.
Well Spence since you love illegal foreigners so much, you're more than welcome to pay for a citizenship application if you want to. Not with the peoples tax dollars. Is it really the US responsibility to pay for the worlds poor?
Can you prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that these children do in fact belong to these so called "parents" and that their actions and claims for asylum fall within the parameters of what the laws stipulate?
Yikes
way to make me ugly cry and laugh hysterically at the same time...
The last time America was a great country, was about around 1957. Since then all downhill. Today America is behind Syria, Iran, Jordan and Ghana.
Too those outside of this country, going like OH MY GOD? WHY? I can answer simply. Yes part of it is racism. But the largest problem is apathy. American are apathetic to politics. But we've become so indoctrinated, that this apathy carries over to treating other people. Many of these issues John brings up, it's why things have gotten so bad here.
Do you believe in maintaining and protecting the security and integrity of our borders and the safety and welfare of children?
*womp womp* that guy deserved to have his legs broken on live tv. What a piece of shit. This show is amazing at both how informative it is, and heartbreaking at how horrible so many aspects of our government are handled.
This is a comedy show. Hosted by a comedian who is generalizing information read from a teleprompter in order for it to fit into his comedic act. I like this show too and it makes me laugh but it seriously needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
The United Satans of America
Ok...What they're doing is nothing short but mental child abuse. I don't care how you rationalize it. That right there is not just bullshit. 😡 THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT!!🤬
Yeah! Those so called "parents" who illegally cross our borders with children, through hostile and dangerous terrain filled with killers, thieves and rapists, and mentally scaring them just so they can use them as scapegoats to exploit a loop in the system, is bullshit!
Literally "every law enforcement agency separates kids from their parents" got me fuming. NO. THEY FUCKING DON'T. The parents go to jail and the KIDS STAY FUCKING SOMEWHERE ELSE! You don't lock the kids of drunk drivers in fucking cages cause THEY ARE FUCKING CHILDREN. Assholes.
Apso, the vast majority of asylum seekers aren't even criminals.
If there's no other parent around Child protective services comes around.
If you see a guy named BenJamin Croft in these comments: just know he's a racist bitch. Fuck you, BenJamin Croft.
I just provide the facts, ask questions and speak the truth. How you portray that as someone being racist staggers the imagination. smh...
This dude is XXXXING awesome CRUSH dot. gov.
TRUMP REALLY IS A NUT JOB. WE ALL NEED THE HEART OF CHE' WELCOME TO AMERICA...
T
Omg, trump literally tried to get a moat built with snakes in it around the border wall last year
Remember when those caravans came across the US border and terrorized just like Trump said they would? Remember that? Remember when a fat orange racist with a cult following of uneducated inbreds said that?
@average citizen Stop drinking the orange Kool-Aid. Trump is a racist and a f**king idiot.
He's not racist since there are minorities in his cabinet. He has 0 tolerance for illegal foreigners as any true American would. Since you love them so much, why don't you pay for them?
What ended up happening with the migrants...? Lmao
Lmao in a sad way :(
When he says things like chaaaiiin migration in that awful way, it's bcs his pants are actually on fire from lying so hard. He tries desperatly to mask the pain from his small old, dried-up, wrinkled, raisin balls being boiled..
A lot of liberals discovering for the first time here that what America does is completely and utterly evil. Just wait til you hear what we’ve been doing in the Middle East for decades.
Do you believe in maintaining and protecting the security and integrity of our borders and the safety and welfare of children?
Anyone that values family would not re-elect Trump. He is a cold heartless dictator.
I value the LEGAL families of America, not illegal foreigners.
Can you prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that these children do in fact belong to these so called "parents" and that their actions and claims for asylum fall within the parameters of what the laws stipulate?
Nobody noticed the reference to Metal Gear Soild V where Liquid Snake wore the same jacket as Melania with the same type of message?
Just don’t vote for the ƒucking monster again. 4 years from now we could all be dead.
17:25 It's honestly sad that it makes me so happy to see someone so visibly angry about this topic because I don't see it enough
IF NOBODY WANTS TO SEE FAMILIES SEPARATED THEN DONT FUCKING DO IT
0:45 bitch i don't want YOU in this fucking country
I don't always agree with John Oliver, but when I do I drink Dos Equis.. Stay thirsty my friends..
The funny thing is Trump will still win election , and people will still blame it on Russia instead saying he's elected by the people of America .
I hope you're right, but there are millions of sheep and cattle mobs who blindly follow the globalist herds of catering to illegal foreigners.
@Saadmaan Saakib In short, you're just making empty claims. Okay then.
@Stephen2462 Democrats could've won 2016 if they chose Bernie Sanders , but no , you gotta go with Hilary and now creepy Biden . Democrats lost to Trump and will lose to Trump because of their stupidity .
Putting your completely unsubstantiated claim about Trump winning the election, considering how desperate Republicans have been to not get in the way of election interference, it would be a natural thing to assume if Trump managed to win the election despite his sheer incompetence and unpopularity.
People from the US: you don't live in the "best country in the world". Americans sound like indoctrinated people from any autocratic dictatorship from around the globe. From China to North Korea, from Hungary to, increasingly, Brazil - in every place where a broken system is defended as the best political or economic system "in the world", that only indicates a worrysome level of lack of self-awareness from the public that buy into that propaganda. There is no "best country in the world". And if there is, I'm sure that it wouldn't be a racist plutocracy, historically envolved in coups and desestabilizations of other countries like the US. It's sad to listen to an immigrant like John Oliver say these word seeminly oblivious to the attroceties commited by the country he choose to live.
I know the road people like you go down. Native Americans were here first and that we stole their land and slavery and racism, ect, ect. Yes. I know this, understand it, and I don't condone it either. Do the the means justify the ends? Of course not. But I'm not gonna deny the fact that that is exactly how other countries have fought for and acquired land and how they also mistreated other people since the beginning of man kind. No country didn't get to where they are now by playing it nice. I have no problem recognizing my country's flaws. Past or present. Every country has its flaws. But if America has to be the only country in the world that has to feel sorry and apologize and reconcile for it's flaws, I call bs on that! Why does the US have to be the only country to feel sorry and apologize for it's past even though every country is guilty of the same things too? I'm not saying what we did was ok it just seems that people who go down this road aren't really looking for an apology and aren't really genuine about their morality either. They just want to hate America and destroy what we've worked so hard to achieve. We're certainly not flawless but then again who is? But when it comes to greatness in regards to freedom, innovation, history, scenery, entertainment, ect. ect. we lead the world. We lead the world in greatness in so many ways it staggers the imagination. I'm not saying that just because I'm an American or as a "Ha ha! We're better than you!" bs. No. Other countries have their greatnessess too. But the USA is the leader in greatness. Why demonize these great morals, ethics, principles, hard work, and sacrifices that achieved these greatnessess based solely on past mistakes? I believe in second chances. I believe in redemption. But mostly, I believe in Americans.
Noone on the people on this planet have the right to forget what this weak, disgusting president and this administration has done. I'm a mexican-american immigrant, I'm still enraged. It seems he couldn't give a fuck and I'm going kill myself if he's reelected
Just as long as you're a legal citizen. Do you think it's right for anyone to walk across the border at will?
I think i have finally watched all of these yt clips... It took alot of time & dedication, but i was up to the challenge!!! I feel so accomplished now... I should print out a fancy certificate of achievement for myself complete with fake embossed state of texas seal!!!
“Family separation is perhaps the most emblematic moment of his career”. COVID: “hold my beer” #depressingfunny
17:47 “Family separation is perhaps the most emblematic moment of his presidency so far” Yeah, John knew something much worse was coming.
Be careful guys. there is @BenJamin Croft on every comment here
@Stephen2462 Yet another bureaucratic dodge and ad hominem insult. Still no facts and evidence. smh...
@BenJamin Croft Thank you for further demonstrating what a dishonest PoS you are.
@Stephen2462 The only who is squirming is you. Everyone sees this now because you refuse to answer my question.
@BenJamin Croft That YOU aren't, yes. Your squirming isn't going to make you any less of a loser and shill.
@Stephen2462 Projecting the fact that you have no substantial evidence to support anything that you've been saying?
Well... you totally went FULL bias on this one. We'll go with the short version cuz that will get enough screeching. 1: we were already seporating them. It was so we could treat them better than we could treat their parents. 2: we've got to hold them... we don't know who they are. They applied, that doesn't mean they are approved. 3: the conditions are shitty cuz they overwhelmed the system with numbers.
@average citizen Not only is that just a pathetic whataboutism, it's downright silly considering that Trump is a globalist.
@Stephen2462 Nationalism is better than the sickening ideology of globalism
@Pestilencemage No he isn't lol Yes, and then the Trump administration started making it standard procedure to serve as a deterance. Two and three are both issues with the asylum process itself, which JO has discussed in other videos. Which the Trump administration's draconian policies have only exacerbated. Aaaaand now you're trying to blame the conditions the kids were subjected to on the parents. Bigotry and nationalism are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they often go hand in hand.
it's not racist. Nationality is not race. He's a nationalist.
annnnnd you heartbreaking over the kid... ya'll are pussies who don't have kids. That kid is playing her ass because it works to play her ass. You don't see that? Ffs, if that's trauma, then just having a job has traumatized my kids. Their mom going to buy groceries will get that reaction, bro. Children are mental terrorists. You better harden up or pray your kids are too stupid to pull out the big guns when trying to manipulate you. They will OWN you. That wasn't proper crying, it was "I want to be crying" crying. All parents should know the difference.
I'm an American who grew up in the Middle East, we were civilian, not military. The woman that comes on at 18:20 just makes my skin prickle. BTW, I'm blonde, blue-eyed, female, born just outside of DC. My dad was a Marine in the South Pacific in WWII. Suck it you grunt!
The USA is becoming disgusting. I'm ashamed of this country.
I hope when re election comes, Bidens like, remember the time Trump locked a bunch of kids up away from their parents.
@Stephen2462 Can you prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that these children do in fact belong to these so called "parents" and that their actions and claims for asylum fall within the parameters of what the laws stipulate? Where in this question am I implying that _all_ illegal aliens are human traffickers or something? Please explain.
@BenJamin Croft In your first post lol. When FirestoneX said he hoped that Biden would bring this up in the election, you replied with your copypasta requesting proof the victims' innocence.
@Stephen2462 Then you should have no problem pointing out where and when I said that.
@BenJamin Croft Blatantly trying to project your BS onto me like that isn't going to make your claims any less of a shitshow.
@Stephen2462 *You* implied that _all_ Trump administration victims of human trafficking or something. Not Trump and certainly not me.
I dont think I've seen john oliver so angry at the end
Hold on lets go back to the ice chief say they are criminals. Immigration matters aren't criminal! They are civil!
@BenJamin Croft I do indeed refuse to play along with your dumbass copypastas, yes. Your attempts to lie about me only further prove you're a pathetic shill. Factual evidence that you're a lying shill? You just provided some more lol.
@Stephen2462 Yet you refuse to answer my questions and provide factual evidence to support what you said. Because my questions and argument are not fair because challenges your securities and understanding of this situation. Therefore you're still just going circles via ad hominems and bureaucratic dodges. smh...
@BenJamin Croft Of course you don't want it to be about you or Trump. The last thing you want is people calling you or the Trump administration out for what you are; liars and losers.
@Stephen2462 Again, this isn't about me or even Trump anymore. This is about you and your lack of understanding and insecurities when talking to other people.
@BenJamin Croft Except I'm not the one lying, shilling, or acting like a pathetic loser in general. As much as I'm sure you want me to pretend otherwise, I don't give a damn what you want.
