We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Interesting metacommentary
Are in favor of putting children and infants into federal jails?
No, I'm a compassionate human being.

Declaring asylum seekers to be criminals without hearing their asylum claim is a contributing factor to my characterizing Trump's separation policy as crime against humanity.
I didn't see anything in your source that indicates asylum seekers were deemed criminals without hearing their asylum claim.
Do you dispute it?
I've never seen any evidence that what you claim is true.

Illegally immigrating is a crime, regardless if they claim asylum after they get caught.
One of the components of a crime against humanity is that it is part of an official domestic law or policy, or carried out by officials in their official capacity.
So to you, having a secure border is a crime against humanity?
Border security is the ends; I'm talking about the means.
Requesting asylum isn't a crime, you should read up on border laws if you're going to be so cheeky and abrasive and wrong.
I didnt say requesting asylum was a crime. I said illegally immigrating was.
