Sadly, the policy is simply the continuation of the practice previously carried out under the Obama, Bush, and Clinton administrations, courtesy of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), signed in to law in September 1996, by the aforementioned President Clinton. No one, particularly the media, really gave a crap about it during the previous three administrations.
Separation of children is only done when the parents are prosecuted and it was the administration of the fucking moron elected by moron’s that began a zero-tolerance-prosecute-all-offenders policy in April that resulted in 2000 children being seperated between April and May. Prior to that zero-tolerance policy, the Cheeto-in-chief’s administration released about 100,000 immigrants in the first 15 months of his catastrophe, er, term; including 37,000 children. So while it is true they’re following existing procedure, if they weren’t wasting millions upon millions to prosecute every man and woman who makes it across the border instead of just deporting them, then there wouldn’t be thousands of children in dog kennels and such. But whatever, go back to watching faux news.
There is nothing about this policy that’s a continuation of anything that came before it. it was an executive order by Jeff Sessions. I’ll dig up the paperwork and post it to the front page.
Trump is only trying to save these children from the hell on earth of Comet Pizza’s basement…
In all seriousness, how Trump supporters and President Snapchat’s henchmen are endlessly trying to defend this is unbelievable. Pee-Wee Herman could run in TD’s against this defense.
Take the time to read this and it will help you to understand the ping pong match about children of illegals. Years ago it was decided that it was wrong to keep the kids in jail with the parents so to be humane, they were kept in a friendlier environment.
What a change in attitude when Trump
Is in office!
TRUTH (copied)
So dishonest…. About Those Children…in March 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in Flores vs Reno. The Court decided that minors couldn’t be incarcerated with adults accompanying them illegally across the U.S. border. The decision was the result of a long dispute in how to best care for these children while the adults were detained for criminal proceedings.
When aliens cross the border illegally – that is, not at a point of entry – they are incarcerated until their criminal case is decided. The understandable argument at the time was “why should children be incarcerated while their parents are in jail?” It seemed a fundamental violation of international human rights.
As a result, The Flores case drew a line in the sand. Children could not be incarcerated with their parents or accompanying adults while being held for illegal immigration violations. And a subsequent 1997 agreement stipulated that children must be placed in a safer environment where they could enjoy *certain privileges, including education, a clean, safe environment and other normal life cycle amenities that incarcerated individuals do not enjoy.*
It was considered a “victory” for human rights. By separating adult and child, we protected the children, reducing any harm done to them for their parent’s or accompanying adult’s decisions.
A lot has happened since then. Bottom line, these shelters have been operating in accordance with the law and are overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services to protect those children from the hazards of parental incarceration since 1997.
So, since Donald Trump was running his real estate empire, selling wine and casinos in 1993, we are left to determine just how he managed to orchestrate this cruel “separation of immigrant parent and child” 25 years BEFORE he was President of the United States. The obvious answer is, he didn’t. He had nothing to do with establishing this United States immigration policy. Today, he simply enforces it.
This one story illustrates how important it is for us to do our research regarding today’s headlines. The Corporate Media either refuses to do the research, is incapable of doing the research or has done the research and decided to lie to you about its findings. Either way, this would make the Corporate Media lazy, incompetent or just plain deceptive.p
The law may have been created with the best of intentions for child protection. These actions violate those intentions, lacking any endangerment. A minimal response would be swift humane deportation while together. Can you think of another country that separated children from their parents under their law? Why would you argue in favor for a law distorted beyond morality and ethics? Here is a different response:
you should updated your copy pasta to mention that it wasn’t until the Trump administration, and specifically Jeff Sessions that it was considered a crime to cross the border for amnesty anywhere other than an official border crossing. they’re the ones that decided suddenly that it was going to be a horrible crime that should warrent the destruction of their family
Dude, if that was my kid, you’d better BELIEVE i’d be in federal prison by now.
