Trump immigrant family separation policy

Skeptic Ginger said:
Really? Easy-peasy call them all economic refugees even when gangs and murders have skyrocketed in Central America along with warring drug factions.

When has a wave of unaccompanied minors ever flooded to safety in the US before two years ago (or whenever that surge started)? Suddenly teenagers just decided to go look for work in the US?

Your assumptions about these people reveal your preexisting bias.

Maybe you should learn to comprehend. Did I say anything about a wave of teenagers looking for work? I think it's your preexisting bias that sways your opinion. I truly wanted to know why people are trying to get over the border. I assumed that there are of course desperate situations like what you described but I found other reasons that sounded perfectly plausible.

You found that undocumented immigrants not only believe they're moral people, but that they're helping the United States.

They view the violation as resulting in something that's good for the U.S. economy. They recognize that engaging in work without authorization is illegal, but they focus on the nature of the work they're doing, which to them is admirable.

p.s. I should have said admirable instead of honorable in my last post.

What lies underneath is this idea that immigration law occupies a fundamentally different moral sphere from other kinds of laws. They see themselves as law-abiding despite their violation of our immigration laws.

So Trump's backed down due to public pressure. Who would have thought that putting children as young as 2 in concentration camps would be a bad PR move?

Still, he's got at least one cheerleader who we know has children's best interests at heart: https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1009518490401812481

Thank you @POTUS for taking critical action ending family separation at our border. Congress must now act + find a lasting solution that is consistent with our shared values;the same values that so many come here seeking as they endeavor to create a better life for their families

No. We are not in agreement. Unless you mean we should throw them back across the border instead of imprisoning them.

We did that, too. I'm sure Der Furher knows all about it and can't wait to do it again. That would be well in keeping with this administrations views.
 
It's kind of sad, or ironic, or something, that in the quest to give youthful detainees privacy, we ended up making them faceless.

President Donald Trump's executive order reversing course on family separations has not changed anything in terms of putting back together families that have already been separated, a government official confirmed

They're keeping the children they already kidnapped.

The private contractors being paid for their care need to make their nut, because another benefit of separating the children from their parents is that it significantly increases the cost of detention.

Peter Fonda urged that Barron Trump be taken from his family and put in a cage with pedophiles. He also urged people to surround the schools of ICE employees' children.

A poster here urged that armed groups storm the centers where the children are being held.

And....? Your usual distraction? Some crazies say some crazy stuff, so this is, naturally, in TBD Universe, a good reason to support this cruelty.

Gotcha!

The US Border Farce would probably spend a lot less money and effort actually making more legitimate border crossings and staff available to process would-be immigrants properly.

Instead, they seem to be concentrating on funding a whole bunch of pseudo-Texas-rangers and prison camps to chase down and hold all these assumed illegals, all of which cost a LOT of money to operate.

So not only is it inhumane, it is economically bust as well. One would think it is really a politically-motivated make-work for a bunch of know-nothing gum-chewing thick-headed loud-mouth Trump-voters.

They could follow the law: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1158
Notice it says
(1) In general

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.
