A cold hard look at the facts of "family-separation-gate"

So the first thing that we have to recognize (as a simple undisputed fact) is that a significant portion of the people being detained at the border are accused of crimes other than just illegally crossing the border. Thousands of pounds of drugs (such as cocaine and heroin) are compensated along the border every year. Guns are being smuggled across the border. Human trafficking is commonplace. Gang members (such as the MS13) are streaming across the border looking to join the American gangs.


So the reality is that these border detainment camps are not a family friendly atmosphere, complete with play dates, after school activities, and Sunday afternoon barbecues. These are dangerous violent facilities. Fights, beatings, drugs, sex, and even rape was commonplace in these detention facilities. Why would we want to house children in this sort of atmosphere? Why would we subject them to drugs, beatings, and rape? Would anyone suggest that our minor aged criminal offenders be house in adult prisons? How about housing teenage girls along side the harden criminals of a federal penitentiary with limited supervision?

Of course not.

The idea of having children in these border detention centers prompted a variety of lawsuits, executive agreements, and legal decisions by the courts. The eventual legal outcome from all of this was that children could not be housed in adult detention centers except for a very short period of time. These legal decisions were once applauded by civil rights groups, child protection groups, and other advocates.


However, today, we have our nonsensical "resistance" circulating old pictures of these child detention centers, telling us all how inhuman it is that the children have been "ripped from the arms of their parents". Suddenly, according to the mindless, we are in the middle of a humanitarian crisis of the scope that we have not seen since the holocaust, and gulag camps. All because we are following the guidance of previous court and executive decisions, designed specifically to protect children.

Oh, and go figure... the horrifying humanitarian crisis is (of course) all Donald Trump's fault.

The girl from the Time magazine cover on the border crisis

"The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.

Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that he had not heard from his wife Sandra, 32, who was with his two-year-old daughter Yanela Denise, for nearly three weeks until he saw the image of them being apprehended in Texas.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told yesterday that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing 'fine.'

'You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter. It broke my heart. It's difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border,' he said.

Denis said his wife and daughter were never separated by border control agents and remain together.

He revealed that his wife had previously mentioned her wish to go to the United States for a 'better future' but did not tell him nor any of their family members that she was planning to make the trek.

'I didn't support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that? But it was her decision at the end of the day.'"

"He said he heard from friends that his wife paid $6,000 for a coyote - a term for someone who smuggles people across the border.

'I wouldn't risk my life for it. It's hard to find a good job here and that's why many people choose to leave. But I thank God that I have a good job here. And I would never risk my life making that journey.'"

CNN) There is a truly remarkable number in the most recent CNN poll, conducted by SSRS and out this morning.

In it, 42% of Americans say President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office.

What makes it remarkable is that he's on par with President Richard Nixon, who 43% of Americans said should be impeached and removed from office in a March 1974 Harris poll. That was after the scale of Watergate came to light, but months before the House started to move against Nixon, who would go on to resign in August 1974 rather than be impeached.

Border agent involved with dramatic photo of crying girl breaks silence
46 mins ago
The picture of a Honduran girl crying as she and her mother are detained in Texas has grabbed worldwide attention and come to symbolize the intense debate about separating children from their parents.
Time magazine put the young girl on this week's cover, but the Border

Patrol agent involved in the dramatic scene says the photo might be a little misleading. That agent said the mother and daughter were never separated and are still together.

"We were patrolling the border. It was after 10 o'clock at night," Border Patrol agent Carlos Ruiz told CBS News' Da vid Begnaud.

He was the first to encounter Sandra Sanchez and her daughter after they allegedly crossed the Rio Grande River into Texas illegally.

"We asked her to set the kid down in front of her, not away from her, she was right in front of her...So we can properly search the mother," Ruiz said. "So the kid immediately started crying as she set her down. I personally went up to the mother and asked her 'Are you doing OK? Is the kid OK?' and she said, 'Yes. She's tired and thirsty.

"They're using it to symbolize a policy and that was not the case in this picture," Ruiz said. "It took less than two minutes. As soon as the search was finished, she immediately picked the girl up, and the girl immediately stopped crying."

Moore says Ruiz and other agents acted professionally that night. But he is happy with the cover and the response to the image.

"Oftentimes, immigration is talked about in terms of statistics, and when you put a human face and humanize an issue, you make people feel. And when you make people feel, they have compassion. And if I've done just a little bit of that, then that's OK," Moore said.

Ruiz said he and his fellow agents represent more than just the Border Patrol logo.

"We are also fathers, we are also sons, we are also have families, and we do care, and we do our jobs, and we treat these people as humanely and as best as we possibly can," Ruiz said.

You have given up your bogus argument on the support of zero Tolerance policy and claiming that it's required by the law.

Now you are reduced to claiming that the vast majority of the people fleeing violence and brutality by gangs and the oppressive governments, into claiming that the vast majority of the migrants are criminals, rapist and murderers.

You're echoing the campaign rhetoric and using it to justify a cruel and anti American imprisonment of thousands of children in camps without any chance of being reunited with their families.

Thursday, June 21, 2018

Most voters blame the parents of the separated children at the border for the latest illegal immigration crisis, not the federal government.

When families are arrested and separated after attempting to enter the United States illegally, 54% of Likely U.S. Voters say the parents are more to blame for breaking the law. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 35% believe the federal government is more to blame for enforcing the law. Eleven percent (11%) are not sure.

surrendered, alky?

in the land of pink elephants perhaps, but in reality he's winning the battle. his fall-back position is to enforce existing immigration law. the left has been caught lying repeatedly about the children issue and public opinion has shifted to trump's favor. democrats claim to want a fix yet resist all but the most extreme liberal legislative solution.

the fact is alky is that trump holds all the cards on this deal.

if democrats have pinned their mid term hopes on this particular issue, you guys are fucked beyond comprehension.

"The Washington Post reported on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 37,734 undocumented “noncriminal” immigrants in the 2017 fiscal year, more than double the amount in 2016. This category of people includes those facing charges and those with no criminal records at all.

ICE also arrested 105,736 immigrants who had been convicted of crimes, a small uptick from 2016."

Flores V Lynch doesn't say what you think it does.


In 2016, in Flores v. Lynch, the consent decree was clarified to indicate that the policy applied equally to accompanied and unaccompanied minors; neither group could be held for more than 20 days. The ruling meant that unless a suitable placement could be found for a minor who came across, either alone or with an adult seeking asylum, both adult and child had to be either released or returned to their country of origin.

hey alky, i'd like your opinion on something...

i'm thinking of a method to quickly and efficiently return illegal beaners back to the messican side of the border, and i keep coming back to a rather ancient device - the catapult, or trebuchet if you will.

i mean, i'm thinking of single seater and two seater models. the second for illegal beaners and their lil beans.

what do you think?

could we get the messican government to paint giant bullseyes on their side of the border? it would be significantly cheaper than making them pay for the wall.

He could fix this issue with an executive order.

Since 2014, more than 300,000 family units or unaccompanied minors have arrived illegally into the United States from Central America and applied for asylum claiming fear of gang members or violent husbands, etc. Most do not meet the refugee status requirements.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, "being forced to join a gang or experiencing violence do not generally qualify as a basis for refugee status or fall readily into one of the refugee definition categories."

Trump pulls the plug.

Two days ago, President Donald Trump promised House Republicans he'd have their backs "1,000 percent" on immigration. On Friday, he told them to “stop wasting their time” — putting GOP leaders in an impossible position and throwing the conference into chaos.

But House Republican leaders say they plan to forge ahead with an immigration vote next week nonetheless.

Speaker Paul Ryan's team has spent weeks trying to strike an accord between moderate Republicans from swing-districts and conservatives who are petrified of being accused of supporting "amnesty."

And House Republicans exited a Thursday night meeting saying they believed they had a "breakthrough" between the two wings of the party on a compromise that would help Dreamers and boost border security.

But Trump undercut his party’s plans Friday, telling them to wait until after the midterm elections to act.

“Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November,” the president wrote on Twitter. “Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!”

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on the House floor that they would vote next week anyway, a rare act of defiance for the close Trump ally.

"We have been working very closely with the entire conference, taking all ideas in," McCarthy said. "We had a very productive conference last night, and we'll work through the weekend and you will see that bill on the floor next week."

Still, the tweet puts Ryan in a serious bind.

To stave off a discharge petition from moderate Republicans and Democrats, the Wisconsin Republican promised the centrists that he'd give them a vote on some sort of bill they could support. If Ryan listens to Trump and cancels the vote, moderates will be furious.

“Votes were pledged in order to turn off the discharge petition,” Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) told reporters Friday. “The intention is to fulfill it.“

But if Ryan holds the vote, the result could be catastrophic. GOP members who thought they could support the bill have already started telling leadership that they will no longer vote for it. They simply cannot go up against the president, they say.

That means the bill would likely fail in spectacular fashion on the House floor, a huge embarrassment to leadership and an affront to the rank-in-file who have spent hundreds of hours negotiating.

The vote could also endanger the lame duck speaker. Rep. Steve King, a vocal hard-liner, suggested Friday that some conservatives could try to oust Ryan with a motion to vacate the chair, though King was coy about why he thought so.

“We’ll have to see how that cooks over the weekend,” the Iowa Republican said. “I’m reading the tea leaves but I believe [a motion to vacate] is prepared.”

That could fuel a backlash, however. Members across the spectrum have praised Ryan for his work trying to find a GOP solution on immigration, working with all corners of the conference. Conservatives who then punish him could face their own political attacks from Ryan loyalists.

Trump's tweet suggests that the president has retracted to his original view of the bill. While the compromise legislation mirrors his own immigration framework — cracking down at the border and finding a pathway to citizenship for young undocumented immigrants — the president didn't like the word "moderate" being used to describe the package.

Ryan is the worst Speaker in decades since Gingrich

Two things

1) Perhaps the international community can do something to help the people of Central American that doesn't simply include moving them out.

2) If they do not meet the refugee status requirements, then their plight is probably not quite as dangerous as they are making it out to be.
