[almaguerra]

Forget the kindness to these people!!! They all committed a crime by crossing ILLEGALLY!!! The mayor has wasted all the funds that were supposed to be for the people!!! He has also taken all of our tax money 💰 that we all citizens worked so hard for!!!!

[mikefitch]

He's probably the greatest politician ever!

[Traps]

I hope Thomas Homan knows that most of Chicago especially Black Chicago is with him 100 percent. Many of us will help in any way possible.

I’m from Canada and my wife is from Africa. She came here as a refugee. This is her opinion not mine Canadian. We have too much immigration and not enough assimilation. This is a black woman’s opinion from Africa when she’s at work, she speaks some different languages, but she doesn’t understand Philippines language she doesn’t understand the Middle Eastern language she understands English so her to speak English and Canadawhen you’re at home speak whatever you want. That’s a black woman’s perspective from Africa

Nobody care anymore about separating or not, they all thought that they were not going to have consequences for crossing illegally... Oh no no, we the public we're all suffering so much 😢 and we're all scared because the Venezuelan gang are here in Chicago... We can't go down town or ride the subway 🚇 or get to our airports, they have ⛺ tents including in the airports because we have 2 airports... We are in so much danger ⚡ they all also have 🛵 motorcycles and they race about 1 am every time. We can't take anymore 😢

[BlackRaspberry-rx]

Finally an administration of real men with backbones. Trump is making awesome picks for his cabinet 🗄️.

[HumanOne-pg]

If you want to be American, don't break in through the back door, come around to the front door, shake hands and we can get to know you and you can get to know us. Welcome friend.

[tokopaaisen]

lol try to go to eu country illegally. Family separation is very common, that’s the price for doing it illegally. And yes there is also a way to avoid it. The entire family will be deported.

The American voters spoke very loudly and very clearly in the November elections with the majority in the house, the majority in the Senate, and the presidency with the popular vote. Get all President Trump campaign policies implemented, including this, the US voters have spoken. Get it done.

[pallmall]

ROFL, you cry baby lefties are going to give me so much content the next 4 years.

[petrastonier]

They didn’t need to be separated. The parents should take their kids home w them. Period
