It's been only one month and it's already a Nazi Nation.
This is not the U.S of America.
Agent Orange will destroy everything brave American heros have fought hard to make this country what it is.
Congrats alt right *#%holes.

Gripe about Sanctuary Cities all you like, but this issue has NOTING to do with them. Sanctuary City issues rest mostly on undocumented people who have been arrested and are in the system waiting deportation.
This issue has nothing do with that. This is about changing the definition of "Human Trafficking" in order to try and handle the problem of unaccompanied and/or undocumented children, by blaming the adults they're seeking and/or who are aiding them. This isn't about city officials who look the other way.
Please stick to the topic.

I don't see a problem with that, they are in fact human trafficking.
Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery, and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit human beings for some type of labor or commercial sex purpose.

It's definitely leaning that way.
I'll take the word of those who actually know from their own real experience.

Yes and dumping them here on their own away from their parents is not helping them either.

Not everyone who pays for the safe transport of minor undocumented children and their upkeep is guilty of Human Trafficking.
Don't get me wrong, they're guilty of aiding and abetting illegal immigration, just not of slavery and exploitation.

The hell its not. It gives them a chance.
I am a major supporter of LIVING CHILDREN. Those already alive, through no fault of their own. They did not ask to be born in war zones and extreme poverty.
They are not responsible for IDIOT ADULTS.

Good, you just told everybody they should not listen to you.

Of course even the safe passage of children to be with their parents has come to be labeled with something negative. Can't have US citizens stand behind it unless it is made to look bad.

If said children are illegally entering the country and the parents are facilitating their travels, they are breaking the law. Maybe the parents should fund the process of legal immigration if they don't want to be charged with a crime.
You're arguing on the basis of 'appealing to emotion'--not a good way to discuss an issue.
'But...but...but, the children...'
I would say that the financers of the travels be brought up on charges, sure--they facilitated illegal immigration into the United States.

I agree with you! (Mark this post for posterity, because it may never happen again! LOL)
The punishment should be equal to the crime, not hyper inflated to make examples of certain families".
