Why is Marco Rubio not against these immigration issues? His family history is the immigrant experience. He's sitting there, allowing this administration to be cruel to all immigrants.

Because he is a sell out - they all are- they do as told - none have any guts- or ethics or integrity

They are ruthless cowards that are too stupid to realize they are not going to be in power forever. I will never forget what the regime and oligarchs have done to our country!

LindyLoo, agreed. I will not forget that the Republican Party is destroying America, and through this cruel process, they are destroying the people.

There is no worst enemy for an immigrant than an immigrant with “papers”

Like the rest of his cabinet, he's only allowed to speak when his comments praise the current president. Is this the kind of government MAGA voted for?

Because he is a little weasel and it tall enough to stand up to anyone.

I agree with you Pam, however, with respect, how did he get in this time! I’m so disappointed with the people in our country. I mean the people that chose not to vote!

Oh, Phyllis - you’ll hear a lot of things. It wasn’t just those who did not vote. The Dems were fighting a huge campaign of disinformation thanks to the millions spent by Musk for one thing. And, then there’s the ballot questions that hang in the air too. Dems need to find ways to speak to the people and they know it and are working on that aspect. Get involved going forward. It’s going to take all of us. Thank you for your note.

While some didn't vote, don't believe the hype. There was tons of voter suppression that people in this country don't give a shit about, because it's mostly against Black people who have saved this country's ass on numerous occasions. I'm furious every time people talk about non-voters who have always been non-voters in this country. Never do everybody who is allowed to vote actually vote. Give me a break, people. This is covert racism.

Jim -- Tired of hearing about Trump's legal, ethical, and moral violations. We all know he is a felon, liar, cheat, thief, conman, and rapist. My only question is who is going to take him down? Who is going to arrest and prosecute Trump, Trump family, Trump aides, Trump appointees, or Republican party officials?

Republicans have always claimed to be the party of family values. That’s BS.

I am so upset at our government right now !!!! Why are the ICE agents wearing masks with no identification ????!!!! And children with cancer and other children on their own . They pull them out of schools, I can’t imagine an elementary school children being taken out of the classroom with no parent being there !! What is America coming to ?? Heartless and cruel that’s who the president is , shame on him !!

I’m not sure, but I think the school refused to let them in, however I may be wrong. I can tell you what happens. Having taught elementary school for 25 years, young children are frightened when a classmate is taken from their classroom by masked men. So, the teacher would be calming down his or her entire classroom.

The day after 9/11 was difficult for my 5th graders to understand. I’m so angry, republicans do nothing, and I continue to call my representatives who are both republicans.

Yes, so why, just why, don't the Democrats scream the way the Republicans would? We've got to shake things up to the point where they don't know what's happening.

I believe these “ICE Agents” are probably pardoned J6 violent criminals and other violent men who have no morals and enjoy hurting people. trump and the members of his administration have no morals. When we take back control of the government, every one of them should be arrested and put in prison while the investigations are in process, they are indicted, found guilty, and given life with no parole, including trump and vance! None of them should receive any mercy!

Pertaining to the mistreatment of the immigrants, many years ago when my grandson was in elementary school, he was given an assignment of studying Hitler. He was impressed that Hitler wasn't born in Germany but yet worked his way up to being in charge. I was irate but his mother felt the school knew what they were doing, so I took him to a Holocaust Museum and showed him the destruction that Hitler had done. He understood . When we were walking out, there was a picture of black teenagers and over the picture there was a sign that said "Can this happen again?" The answer is yes. It's happening now just not to the black people. Yet!

I really wish the Dems would coordinate, collaborate and plan together. It feels like they are working in isolated ways. They should be reaching out to THEIR BASE, more than just a rally, so everything can coordinate. If 50501 can do it, why can't the politicians? Just boo-hooing and complaining is NOT working, so the approach needs to be stepped up. I'm sure that they don't want to look back from some point in our dystopian future and wonder why they hadn't done more. Please realize that I am not going back to the past before the election. I'm talking about the present time and very near future. Get the Party's attention while everyone is motivated, before they give into resolve. Grab the energy while constituents are angry, instead of waiting until there's a relaxing lull. We may not even know HALF of what is going on, but I am sure that our politicians know a lot more!

Now ICE is abandoning children in cars or on the street. I don't know how they live with themselves.

They're probably hardened criminals that have no morals. Lots of them running all over the place. Even non-criminals with 0 morals.

Let’s be clear on our language.

The kidnapping and removal from the country of a US Citizen Child on caner treatments is Attempted Murder. If the child dies, it will be Murder.

Noem, Blondi, the ICE head and tRump need to face those charges in court
