It's very much of a simplification isn't it? Who says everyone who "boos"sit in the cheap seat. And if they do, you are still not further than genetic fallacy. Basically you need to show how their arguments fail. That is going to be rather diffucult without taking into account the situation of the immigrants. And if you do so, I suspect you might change your view.

Media Bias Fact Check: Incompetent or Dishonest?
Ironically, MBFC rates JFD as "right center" and "high accuracy." Apparently they saw the JFD article and someone reviewed the review because it has been changed. People are people. Sometimes they make mistakes. I have no problem with corrected mistakes. I'd be interested in knowing if their article was a reaction to the review of themselves, or a broader review. From the article, it seems they looked at their review and Politifact's review. Not exactly a sweeping evaluation. The two CEOs also exchanged emails and the MBFC CEO apologized for the review and it was rewritten. So this article seems to be a tempest in a teapot.
I'm not even going to waste much time on the Washington Standard. I've read a few of their articles, and I find the evaluation by MBFC spot-on. Little wonder they weren't happy and wrote a scathing review: they were given one of the most biased ratings possible in MBFC.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Otherwise no issue, kids separated from criminal parents everyday.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

If separating children from parents is bad, then we are saying why wasn't this brought up many years ago? Why were the liberals complacent when Obama did it? It seems pretty odd that this has been going on for decades and it has just now been noticed and everyone is mad at Trump and he is just following the law. If the law is bad, why did it get passed in the first place? Why wasn't it changed under Obama?
And why is it immoral to keep kids out of jail when their parents are arrested for breaking the law? Do you think it is better for the children to be sent to jail with the parents?
