"I fear that @DHSgov is declaring certain parents and children "ineligible" for reunification because they don't know their identities or have lost track of the parent or child. It may be cover for incompetence born out of malevolence. #FamiliesBelongTogether"

Re: second rate people
Why did they leave where they were? Were the people there first rate people? Why do they come here? Are conditions better … first rate? They passed through a lot of other countries to get here but did not stay in any of them.
Yes, they are escaping second rate conditions to come here. These are not the best of their people, are they?
Yes, they are second rate people trying to improve their condition Like many of our ancestors. How many people will the life boat hold?
(edited to add …)
Have you lived in a southern state where there a lot of these people try to keep out? They are notable. Cheap bars that barely pass health standards. Spray paint on the walls and fences. Yes, we want to limit the second rate class of these people. Others that come in properly bring us nice Mexican restaurants, respectable businesses and educated citizens. It is not the country. It is the class of people.
