Youngest Migrants Held in 'Tender Age' Shelters

Electronic tracking bracelets then?

The Obama administration was having success with the ankle monitors.

Yes he did.

Children are separated from their parents in the U.S. for all kinds of reasons. That is not the topic of this thread and conflating an immigration policy with those circumstances is not accurate.
How is it not the topic? there is no difference in pulling a kid out of a US home for X reason and separating a kid at the border for X reason.

the fact is that in both cases the kids are pulled out of their home and away from their parents for X reason. what those reasons are vary from case to case.
 
i am simply waiting for the same frothing of the mouth outrage by liberals is all.

We're pretty pissed off, dude. This is a horrible practice that needs to end. Is there some reason you want it to continue?

nope i am waiting for the 500 threads railing against obama and clinton, CPS and other such agencies that separate kids from their parents.
I am hoping to see some sort of consistency but i doubt i am going to get it.

this should really piss you off then.

The left, in fact, went nuts over an ACLU report that showed rampant child abuse from children detained without their parents. The problem was that the report covered 2009-2014, a period when Barack Obama was President.

the photo's at the bottom which are the ones circulating around the internet were obama.

so i will wait for you to start a thread of your outrage on the acts of the obama administration.

my solution is simple.

expedited asylum hearings.

line them up see if they fit the criteria for asylum which about 75% do not and then ship them to the deportation line right there.
simple easy and they can all go back as a family.

shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes a case.
 
nope i am waiting for the 500 threads railing against obama and clinton,
Neither of these people are president. They can't end the practice. "What about Obama" doesn't justify the concentration camps no matter how hard you desperately wished it did. I know the right wing media has convinced you that Obama's actions and this are equivalent, and that nothing can convince you otherwise. I don't care. You're defending cruelty because you think someone else was also cruel.

CPS and other such agencies that separate kids from their parents.
From abusive parents. Jesus. Let me guess, you think kids should stay with their abusers? That would be consistent with the right-wing hatred of children.




You want to give people 10 minute trials in a court of law. Yeah, you don't give a **** about due process. This is Deuce's complete lack of surprise.

Fun fact: some of these people have gotten hearings that last less than a minute. Do you support that too?
 
Its funny cause I mentioned ankle bracelets as a way to keep track of them and got attacked for suggesting it.

How do you feel about the EO Trump signed to keep the families together. Does it satisfy your concerns? Also it hinges on the judge relaxing her order and allowing the gov to keep children in their custody for longer than 20 days when necessary. If she refuses to do that are you gonna be upset with her or Trump? It's her ruling that is behind a lot of these problems.

I support that.

Judge: "Did you cross the border illegally?"

Illegal alien: "Si, senor."

Case closed, deportation order issued by court minions. Next one, please.
 
Why should he do that? They willingly broke the law and they should pay the consequence.

You... really don't know what an asylum request is, do you?

It's not illegal to come into the US and request asylum. In fact, you're required to be on US soil to do it.

They are not being charged for seeking asylum. At this point I would not think it would need to be pointed out to you. Your either being intentionally misleading or your woefully misinformed

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order to allow children to stay with parents caught crossing the border illegally -- moving to stop the family separations that have triggered a national outcry and political crisis for Republicans.

The measure would allow children to stay in detention with parents for an extended period of time. This comes as congressional Republicans scramble to draft legislation to address the same issue, but face challenges mustering the votes.

In signing the measure, Trump said he wants to keep families together while also enforcing border security. He vowed his administration's "zero tolerance" policy for illegal immigration would continue.

They were presidents and they allowed it to go on. as i said i didn't expect you to rant and rail.

From abusive parents. Jesus. Let me guess, you think kids should stay with their abusers? That would be consistent with the right-wing hatred of children.

Do you not realize that CPS can come take your kids for whatever reason they want? you are then required to spend thousands of dollars and months to get your kids
back that they took without due process. all they have are allegations. other times kids are removed when their parents have committed a crime as such in these cases.




How long does it take to prove you need asylum?

the criteria for asylum are pretty clear. unless they can prove one of those 4 or 5 times it is pretty quick.
15 minutes is enough time to determine if they have a case for asylum.

http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/448/

most do not in fact a large portion of the people claiming asylum are denied from the countries they are coming from.

FY 2011 - FY 2016, Mexico had the highest denial rate with nine out of ten (89.6%) turned down. The three Central American countries that have had large numbers arriving seeking asylum also had very high denial rates - El Salvador (82.9%), Honduras (80.3%), and Guatemala (77.2%).
 
yes we know you can't help your intellectual dishonesty. i proved in this thread.
The fact is that previous administrations separated kids from their families that was the outrage and now you are moving the goal posts.
.

I never moved the goal posts. I challenge you to find one post where I explained what was going on and did not point out that in the past previous administrations had only separated kids when they believed the kids were being trafficked, a parent had committed a felon, or they were concerned a parent was a danger to the child.

I am not even talking about just this thread either, every time I have mentioned it on this site, I have pointed it out:

I have been completely consistent every time this issue has been discussed on this forum. Every time.

Finally, this is not about "faux outrage". It is not outrage at all. I am not angry about 2000 kids being needlessly separated from their parents, I am saddened and upset about it, and shame on anyone that isn't.
 

Yes, it is costing us a lot more to separate families than it would to keep them together.

From the following:

NBC News: Tent cities cost millions more than keeping migrant kids with parents

Let me repeat that the average stay for separated kids is nearly 2 months!
 

They weren't previously charged with a crime. Because of Sessions new Zero Tolerance, they now are charged with a crime. That is what lead to this crisis. It was completely avoidable. As I quoted earlier:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1158

There's the law.


I don't have time to guess which of the 5 links of declassified information you are wanting me to open and what inside those links, you think is pertinent to your claim. Please quote and link the information you wis


No, he didn't:
https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/i...bama-administration-separate-families-n884856
No, Donald Trump?s separation of immigrant families was not Barack Obama?s policy | PunditFact

Trump aims to prosecute everyone for a crime and that's what is separating kids from their parents since zero tolerance was implemented. Obama did not have a widespread practice that resulted in the separation of families and where they were separated it was under the suspicion that there was trafficking going on.


I didn't mention ankle bracelets. I've heard some bad things about them, but I haven't studied that.

I haven't had a chance to read it. What I've heard reported doesn't please me. Zero Tolerance is still in effect. ICE will continue to arrest people. Criminal charges are going to be brought against the parents. They could go to jail and their children will be without them again. What judge? I haven't read that. Please link. No, it's Trump's Zero Tolerance that caused this problem.
 


There are no 5 links, only 1, and there is no declassified info.
 
Its unconscionable to separate babies from their mothers at abortion clinics too but it happens every day.

People like you treat children like comic books, they are only worth something when they are in their original wrappings.

No I am not Australian. I was born and raised in the U.S.
 

Intentionally separating children from their parents, is not the way to solve the broken immigration system. It makes monsters of us.
 

With a great possibility some of them will never be reunited with their parents. But at least they won't be with those horrible, awful parents who sought asylum in the country oft described as a Beacon of Freedom.
