Even hotter breaking news:

White House Thinks They Have a ‘History’ Problem

President Trump “will attend a meeting of the House Republican conference Tuesday night, and immigration is likely to be one of the topics on the agenda, said Marc Short, the president’s legislative affairs chief, in an interview Sunday,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Said Short: “The policy is incredibly complicated and it is one we need to do a better job of communicating. We’ve not talked about the history of how we got to this point.”

Playbook: “Explaining why the government is separating families at the border isn’t likely to make the policy more popular.”

Yeah, that's going to be a bit difficult to popularize.

"...there is no seeming consequence to the president and lies. And if we accept that as a society, it is going to have incredibly harmful consequences in the way that we operate going forward, based on the construct of the Founding Fathers."

It won't go on like that forever.

Family Separation Policy Starts Dividing Republicans

“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,” the New York Times reports.

“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 children from 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.”

Associated Press: “The emotional policy of separating children from their parents is also starting to divide Republicans and their allies as Democrats turn up the pressure.”

Washington Post: Democrats intensify fight for immigrant children — and bash Trump, GOP ahead of midterms.

John Oliver Exposes Trump’s Lies on Border Policy

John Oliver: “Democrats did not give them these laws, because—and I cannot stress this enough—there is no law that suddenly required separating parents from their children. This is a result of a deliberate policy choice by Jeff Sessions.”

The Department of Homeland Security reports that nearly 2,000 children were sent to mass detention centers between April 19 and May 31.

United Methodist Church Calls Out Sessions Over Separation Policy

A statement from the United Methodist Church explicitly calls out Attorney General Jeff Sessions as a “fellow United Methodist” and asks him to reverse the Trump administration’s decision to split up migrant families after he claimed the Bible justified it.

"Jesus is our way, our truth, our life. The Christ we follow would have no part in ripping children from their mothers’ arms or shunning those fleeing violence. It is unimaginable that faith leaders even have to say that these policies are antithetical to the teachings of Christ.

"Christian sacred texts should never be used to justify policies that oppress or harm children and families."

John Oliver lied. The current policy was started by the Bush administration under “Operation Streamline” and continued under the Obama adminstration to the Trump adminstration.

The bottom line is that we don’t jail children with their lawbreaking parents. To do so would be inhumane.

Laura Bush is a former first lady of the United States.

On Sunday, a day we as a nation set aside to honor fathers and the bonds of family, I was among the millions of Americans who watched images of children who have been torn from their parents. In the six weeks between April 19 and May 31, the Department of Homeland Security has sent nearly 2,000 children to mass detention centers or foster care. More than 100 of these children are younger than 4 years old. The reason for these separations is a zero-tolerance policy for their parents, who are accused of illegally crossing our borders.

I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.

Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert outside of El Paso. These images are eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War II, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history. We also know that this treatment inflicts trauma; interned Japanese have been two times as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease or die prematurely than those who were not interned.

Americans pride ourselves on being a moral nation, on being the nation that sends humanitarian relief to places devastated by natural disasters or famine or war. We pride ourselves on believing that people should be seen for the content of their character, not the color of their skin. We pride ourselves on acceptance. If we are truly that country, then it is our obligation to reunite these detained children with their parents — and to stop separating parents and children in the first place.

People on all sides agree that our immigration system isn’t working, but the injustice of zero tolerance is not the answer. I moved away from Washington almost a decade ago, but I know there are good people at all levels of government who can do better to fix this.

Opinion | God loves strangers, Jeff Sessions

Recently, Colleen Kraft, who heads the American Academy of Pediatrics, visited a shelter run by the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. She reported that while there were beds, toys, crayons, a playground and diaper changes, the people working at the shelter had been instructed not to pick up or touch the children to comfort them. Imagine not being able to pick up a child who is not yet out of diapers.

Twenty-nine years ago, my mother-in-law, Barbara Bush, visited Grandma’s House, a home for children with HIV/AIDS in Washington. Back then, at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis, the disease was a death sentence, and most babies born with it were considered “untouchables.” During her visit, Barbara — who was the first lady at the time — picked up a fussy, dying baby named Donovan and snuggled him against her shoulder to soothe him. My mother-in-law never viewed her embrace of that fragile child as courageous. She simply saw it as the right thing to do in a world that can be arbitrary, unkind and even cruel. She, who after the death of her 3-year-old daughter knew what it was to lose a child, believed that every child is deserving of human kindness, compassion and love.

In 2018, can we not as a nation find a kinder, more compassionate and more moral answer to this current crisis? I, for one, believe we can.

Yawn.

Common And Without Sense earlier said: We don’t put children in jail with their parents. We humanly care for them.

James: I guess you meant "humanely."

Try asking a child whether he/she
would rather be "humanely" detained
with or without his/her parents.

Zero Tolerance

President Trump could change the policy with a phone call.

In the six weeks between April 19 and May 31, the Department of Homeland Security has sent nearly 2,000 children to mass detention centers or foster care. More than 100 of these children are younger than 4 years old. The reason for these separations is a zero-tolerance policy for their parents, who are accused of illegally crossing our borders.

It's Trump's campaign promise being fulfilled to the bigotry wing of the Republican party. A prime example is Jimmy rrb. And you're not far behind.

Trump has lied again today.

Trump administration denies border separation policy despite published proof
AOL.COM 1 hr ago
While the Trump administration has denied that they have no set policy to separate families at the US-Mexico border, a published DHS guideline shows otherwise.

Kirstjen Nielsen, the secretary of Homeland Security also said in a statement that the policy didn’t exist.

She said “We do not have a policy of separating families at the border,”

However, DHS recently announced that within a six week period ending in May, almost 2000 kids were separated from their parents.

Published DHS guidelines also break down how the separations happen.

Saying quote, “your child or children will be transferred to the US Department of Health and Human Services...where your child will be held in a temporary child shelter or hosted by a foster family.”

Many people including celebrities have criticised the Trump administration for their handling of immigration.

President Trump took to Twitter criticizing the left writing, “The Democrats should get together with their Republican counterparts and work something out on Border Security and Safety. Don’t wait until after the election because you are going to lose.”

Laura Bush is a traitor per the twit.

The reason for these separations is a zero-tolerance policy for their parents, who are accused of illegally crossing our borders.

Trump could change the policy with a single phone call. But he's too busy Tweeting.
