Illegal immigration and Kids

You don’t believe being forcibly separated from their mothers arms does any damage to them? Sure, maybe not physical, where marks are visible. But make no mistake, there is an emotional and psychological harm that is absolutely being done here.

Have you actually read the latest court order in the Flores Settlement? The current policy seems to violate a number of provisions in the order.

Oops… Looks like the State of New York will be suing on the grounds that the current policy violates the Flores agreement…

I am of the opinion that bringing them to a land with a tectonic shift in culture and language is more dramatic to them, and the parents have initiated this aspect, than being housed and schooled and cared for with other minors in a similar situation.

I am not buying the drama at all. I am confident every one of these kids is getting better care than they were before arriving, even with the separation.

This should help draw more attention to the issue.

Good call Cuomo.

Interestingly international adoption has plummeted over the last 20 years.

And after Guatemala imposed a moratorium on foreign adoptions – which dropped from 4,100 in 2008 to 58 in 2010 – a former member of the country’s National Adoption Council expressed pride. “Our image as being the number one exporter of children has changed,” he said. “Guatemala has dignity” again, he added.

With dignity comes an ability to care for themselves. Getting the US border secure and in order makes sense for the dignity of us all.

Once you hit United States soil, you declare you need asylum.

It’s a really easy concept.

You then get a court date.

They investigate your claims.

Donald Trump is also never wrong about anything ever ever. Brothers and arms?

Legally that is correct…with a backlog of 600,000 cases now.

Used to require a civil war. Now one just needs to fear violence, like any urban US gang zone.

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries.

this needs repeating. Those children are safer than they have ever been. If Libs have not stirred up fear and anxiety, the real mothers - the people who put their child’s needs before their own - surely sleep better than they have for… for maybe their entire lives.

Once this artificial crisis is over, Libs may actually embrace this very fact and then cry, scream, and clutch their pearls when we stop the care and send them back home. Their base will not care one bit that they flip flop from saying the border care is a nightmare to saying the border care is a merciful miracle.

Libs can’t wait to exploit THOSE little ones, can they?

The TRUTH is not exploitation… A principal seemingly lost by a certain political party…

you people have not been telling the truth at all and that is not going to change.

For all you budget conscious Trump supporters.

Trump supporters can’t stand to have the Trump lies exposed.

No matter how many times you try and say it, the truth stands out. And the truth is this Trump policy is a disgrace to this country and to the world.

it was virtually broadcast how we would be handling kids at the border.

No one wants prospective illegals to think they can come here without facing the consequences. So why would Trump lie. Hell… put it on every international TV channel. Thank you CNN Latin America!

Thank goodness the word is getting out.

What is humane seems to change with the wind…

A federal judge has ruled that hundreds of immigrant women and children held in U.S. detention facilities should be released because their detention violates conditions of a 1997 court settlement that put restrictions on how migrant children are held.

The Friday ruling was the latest blow to the Obama administration’s family detention policy, which members of Congress and advocacy groups have condemned as inhumane. The administration has been expanding family detention during the past year in response to an influx of families who crossed the border last summer, mostly mothers and children from Central America.
