Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Republicucks Now Doing Boomerposting Against Trump Administation’s “Family Separations” I would like to think of “family separations” as “punitive child abuse.” However, as we learned yesterday, it is not actually child abuse, it is just family separation. When you go to jail for a crime, your children do not go with you. If you have children when you are given a jail sentence, you are not allowed to stay at home because of your children. People do not use the term “child abuse” or even “family separation” when someone’s parents go to jail in any other situation. This is really a non-issue. Fake news. Trump is sending illegal immigrants to jail, and if they come illegally with their children, they are in the same situation as any other individual who goes to jail for any other reason. It is just emotional blackmail against Americans to attempt to get them to re-legalize illegal immigration. The solution should be “immediate deportation of the entire family.” Obviously. But the courts have said that is illegal. So Trump said okay, put them in jail then. So they come up with this “family separations” meme. Now, the shitpublicucks are endorsing it. Scoring signaling points. New York Times: Leading figures of both parties demanded on Sunday that President Trump halt his administration’s practice of separating children from their parents when apprehended at the border, as the issue further polarized the already divisive immigration debate in Washington. Republican lawmakers, the former first lady Laura Bush, a conservative newspaper and a onetime adviser to Mr. Trump joined Democrats in condemning family separations that have removed nearly 2,000 childrenfrom their parents in just six weeks. The administration argued that it was just enforcing the law, a false assertion that Mr. Trump has made repeatedly. Gotta love that NYT editorializing (lying) under the guise of straight news reporting. It isn’t a “false assertion” that it is illegal to cross the border illegally. What the Obama administration did was make it effectively impossible to deport anyone who enters the country illegally, especially people who claim “asylum.” They said they have to get a court date. And the whole court process takes forever, so they just “catch and release” – literally, arresting them for illegally crossing and releasing them – giving them a court date that none of them ever show up for. So Trump said “okay, well hold them in jail until their court date then.” And you can’t take children to jail, so the children go to these centers. He is literally “just enforcing the law.” The issue took on special resonance on Father’s Day as Democratic lawmakers visited detention facilities in Texas and New Jersey to protest the separations and the House prepared to take up immigration legislation this week. Pictures of children warehoused without their parents in facilities, including a converted Walmart store, have inflamed passions and put the administration on the defensive. The first pictures they spread were from the Obama era. He put children in detention facilities too. This is from March 11, 2015: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
