Immigration court’s youngest left to their own devices | CNN Politics

Every week, Evelyn Flores travels to government shelters in the Washington, DC, region for story time with migrant children, telling the tale of a cartoon cat learning to navigate a confusing immigration system with the help of his superhero lawyer.

He's enforcing the border, as he was elected to do. Liberals are filling bucket after bucket with tears as they tend to do when the right enforces the border. The rain falls downward. The sun rises in the morning.

The inhumanity and callousness of your remarks positively scream off the page. I don't care what your politics are, those remarks are sick.

Yes, we know liberals hate having a national border, especially when Republicans are managing it.

What kind of small, feeble, hateful people would use children as pawns this way, regardless of where they are from?

They get deported, they presumably get sent to their families in their home countries. Don't you want them to be reunited with their families?

More baseless babbling bullshit from the right.

Just stop.

Making children defend themselves in court is not ethical. It's also barbaric.

The right has no shame, no soul, no heart, and no intelligence beyond what they are told to believe.

They don't have to defend themselves. They can just go back to their countries and families.
 
Let me nip this in the bud.

Biden did the same thing to a lesser degree. It was terrible when he did it too and it should be stopped.

Well, you have identified one of the problems. Presuming interviewing a 3 year old to find out the contact information for their home country relatives. Then, any care about the right ones being located?

It'll be messy fixing years of Democrat mismanagement.
 
Cosmo said:
A bizarre way to put it. Just be honest: what's your problem with sending kids back to their home countries and families?

This country needs more young people and they want to be here.

What's your problem with that?
 
Some interesting tidbit in this story. For one, Trump is not following the law (surprise surprise):

"The Trump administration has argued in court filings that the federal government has discretion in how it distributes federal funds. “Although, the money was authorized by Congress, Congress never mandated its spending,” it wrote. A federal judge has since ordered the administration to temporarily restore funding, but to date, that hasn’t happened, according to recipients of those funds."

Giving children counsel is considered a step against human trafficking, which the administration claims to oppose:

"Under US law, immigrants don’t have a right to counsel at the government’s expense, not even children, leaving them to depend on volunteer lawyers or nongovernmental organizations. The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 created special protections for migrant children, including ensuring “to the greatest extent practicable” that they have counsel to represent them."

The administration claims it is having trouble tracking down these children, but cutting this funding seems to undermine that effort:

"The Trump administration has said thousands of migrant children who are seeking asylum or other legal status are unaccounted for and is trying to track them down.

“President Trump’s committed to doing everything he can to find these kids, but I’m going to admit to you right now that’s the toughest job of the three things he wants me to do. That’s the toughest part of it,” White House border czar Tom Homan told a special joint session of the Arizona legislature this month.

Experts argue that cutting federal funds for key services runs counter to that effort, taking away the people who are helping them through the immigration system, and that includes reporting to the government."

These people are just nasty and full of shit. I don't know how they live with themselves.
 
These comments from Trump supporters leave nothing to the imagination.

Having 3 year olds face expedited deportation with no one to ensure they are protected from predatory acts is good with them.

PS: yes, no worries if they are delivered directly into a trafficking scheme.
