Those children in the article you linked were already separated from their parents before arriving at the border. Good job, you got manipulated, now go think about why snopes isn't a substitute for actual fact checking.

In that article you say, but what about other children? If you know so much then please share the knowledge instead of being smug about it. You can claim anything you want but where's the link that backs up what you're saying? I'm interested in what you're saying but can't go by your post alone. If my link is shit to you then your lack of link isn't any different to me.

Want to debate the lack of follow up which is my main concern that you haven't addressed? I mean you can throw insults and deflect but what are you accomplishing besides the moral superiority you claim others are after?

I want to thumb this post because you are factually correct that the children who were unaccounted for were unaccompanied minors who crossed the border alone (And I also think Snopes isn't a great source in itself), but first of all the hostility is not something I want to thumb, and secondly it does still point to a system that is overwhelmed and can't keep track as is; if I am hiring a babysitter, I am not going to hire the one who has lost her own kids on several occasions but hasn't tried with someone else's kids yet. There are some logistical reasons why some of those kids are unaccounted for that are a lot less grim (like, their sponsors are family members who have a vested interest in keeping the kids here illegally instead of cooperating with immigration officials) but some of them have definitely ended up in human trafficking situations and I am not comfortable with the US government purposely separating kids from family members given that track record (and for other reasons, but the track record is the relevant one).


Here is a link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pos ... 5c3b2081d0

I'm also kind of wondering what this has to do with pizzagate. We may split this part of the discussion off into its own thread or merge it with a more appropriate one, but anyone who strongly believes it belongs here should please feel free to make a case for it.

I don't care if this gets its own thread, I probably should've started one instead of putting it here. The idea was that conspiracy theorists were all against child trafficking when it was Hillary's problem but once it became something the Trump administration would be responsible for they're okay because that's their team doing it and I was hoping to point out the hypocrisy.
