"Our message, absolutely, is don't send your children unaccompanied, on trains or through a bunch of smugglers," the president said when challenged about whether he's been resolute enough in discouraging such reckless illegal immigration. "We don't even know how many of these kids don't make it, and may have been waylaid into sex trafficking or killed because they fell off a train. "Do not send your children to the border," he implored. "If they do make it, they'll get sent back. More importantly, they may not make it." "Federal law dictates that undocumented immigrant minors from countries other than Mexico must be detained ahead of their appearances in immigration court. Meantime the United States is required to provide their health care and basic needs before releasing them to relatives or foster parents. "If they come from a non-contiguous country," Mr. Obama explained, "then there's a lengthy process." The U.S. resources that are being increasingly tied up by the influx of undocumented minors proffers a vexing situation for the president, whose immigration promises have been stymied for years by partisan gridlock on Capitol Hill." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-to-central-americans-do-not-send-your-children-to-the-border/
What part of they reject going back and apply for bogus asylum don't you understand? When that happens, you cannot have these kids sleeping in huge holding cells with multiple stranger adults! Furthermore, Europe is not pious, nor concerned - Unaccompanied and separated children made up 92 per cent of all under-18s arriving in Italy via the central Mediterranean Sea passage from North Africa in 2016, and the figure remained at this level through the first two months of 2017 – up from 75 per cent the year before. It comes amid a surge in the number of youngsters pursuing routes to Europe in recent years, with at least 300,000 unaccompanied and separated children moving across borders having registered in 80 countries last year – a near fivefold increase from 66,000 in 2010–2011. Most of these children came from Eritrea, the Gambia, Nigeria, Egypt and Guinea. Ninety-two per cent of children who arrived in Italy in 2016 and the first two months of 2017 were unaccompanied – up from 75 per cent in 2015. The children indicated that they had been held against their will or forced to work – or had agreed to work for pay, and then were not paid. A smaller number told researchers they had been offered arranged marriage or cash for blood, organs or body parts. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...k-exploitation-smugglers-crisis-a7941301.html
Wow. And when this administration gives the same warning, they're called Nazis. So why didn't Obama get the protests and despicable news coverage Trump is getting? Do you see how it's nothing but an opportunistic political ploy by the Dems?. They don't care. They want every last one of these illegals and future voters in here, noooow. Americans be damned.
There were plenty of nationwide protests Bliss, even the ACLU took shots at BHO, per below... In our prior discussions about immigration, you did not believe me when I said that numerous immigration groups, especially here in Arizona HATED BHO for his tough stance on deporting illegals, they were burning Obama dolls and hanging him in effigy. "America is expelling illegal immigrants at nine times the rate of 20 years ago (see article); nearly 2m so far under Barack Obama, easily outpacing any previous president." https://www.economist.com/leaders/2014/02/08/barack-obama-deporter-in-chief http://abc7chicago.com/archive/9495326/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/theo...central-connecticut-state-university/6088643/ http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obama-deportations-20160108-story.html https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/deporter-chief Really interesting article here... https://www.thenation.com/article/the-deportation-machine-obama-built-for-president-trump/ So if dems wanted illegals here for their votes, they forgot to tell BHO...
You still won't answer why Trump feels the pressing need to separate immigrant children from their parents after crossing the border, yet Obama and Dubya didn't. That's what different and why Trump's own party is speaking out against this brutal policy.
I know Europe isn’t „pious“. But I don’t care what they are doing there, either they stay together or they leave together. As for 92percent of the refugees 2016 being „children“ that’s not true.
LOL, don't you worry, many of these 'kids' the libs love to call them, are not kids either. Stay together....where??????? So You want to jail kids? You think just because a man is caught at the border with a kid you want to believe he's the daddy? What if he's a child smuggler? FLORES vs RENO In March 1993, U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling: Flores vs Reno. The Court decided minors couldn't be incarcerated with adults illegally crossing the U.S. border. The decision was the result of a long dispute in how to best care for the children while the adults were detained for criminal proceedings. When aliens cross the border illegally - they are incarcerated until their criminal case is decided. The argument was ¿why should children be incarcerated while their parents are in jail?¿ It seemed a fundamental violation of international human rights.The Flores case drew a line in the sand. Children could not be incarcerated with their parents or accompanying adults while being held for illegal immigration violations. And a subsequent 1997 agreement stipulated that children must be placed in a safer environment where they could enjoy certain privileges, including education, a clean, safe environment. it was considered a ¿victory¿ for human rights.
Going on since Bush signed into Law to seperate children from adults caught illegally crossing at the border. Obama did the identitical thing Trump did, but naturally, got no tv coverage or an ounce of the hysteria. Here are the Obama ICE pics as proof: (foil blankets and cages and all) More pics in link: "..The policy of prosecuting immigrants for crossing the border illegally has been in place for multiple administrations. The Obama administration prosecuted 500,000 illegal immigrants and similarly separated families in the process. So did the Bush administration..." http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/19/photos-obama-immigration-detention-facilities/
I don’t know how they went about it and to what extent it had been practiced before. The issue has only come to my attention now. But it should be obvious that it can’t be like this. You can’t separate toddlers from their parents or even older children. Their should be places for families to stay while they are waiting either for deportation or for their papers to be processed. Here they have family camps for refugee families. It’s true that there were a lot of underage boys but they were not separated from their families at the border, rather they came alone in the first place. If the whole thing goes back to a Bush law then the law needs to be amended.
Of course it only comes to your attention now because it's manufactured liberal outrage. Its all by political design. The Dems don't care because they have never cared. They just are pissed as fuck they're not in control. Like crying kids in a candy aisle told no by their daddy.
Not quite the same thing Bliss, Obama's strategy did not separate the kids from their parents, “The Obama administration’s strategy was to expedite deportations of refugee children oftentimes without a lawyer, and jail refugee mothers with children as a deterrent,” said Matthew Kolken, an immigration lawyer whose clients include children seeking political asylum". http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...nts-children-was-also-slammed-by-critics.html So per the FOX article, there was plenty of TV coverage and outrage over Obama's immigration policies as well.
No, it comes to my attention only now because I’m not so deep into American politics and I don’t hear about every single thing that goes on. If I had heard Obama is separating kids from their parents I’d still have said it’s wrong.
How can you write with a straight face that there was "PLENTY OF TV COVERAGE AND OUTRAGE OVER OBAMA"? The people that track T.V news coverage time said that Obama received a combined total of 6 minutes of TV coverage by all the networks and Trump has received 3 hours, thus far.
These pictures are of 12-15-year-old kids who entered the country by themselves. They are not small children who were forcibly separated from their families. The zero tolerance border crossing policy was created by Jeff Sessions, neither the Obama administration or the Bush Administration separated all children as a matter of policy. http://time.com/5314769/family-separation-policy-donald-trump/
Ok, it's understandable. It wouldn't have mattered, however, even if you were deep - one would have been hard pressed to find negative coverage for similar issues. That's because we now know by their own admissions that the MSM are Liberal partisan hacks and an extension of the Democrat Party. I can respect your emotion that they shouldn't be seperated. I think they shouldn't be bringing children at all.
Is that so? From Obama's children detention centers... To quote the Dems, Juvie "cages" and "baby jails" (Now l know you're not going to tell me that baby and toddler crossed the Rio Grande by themselves.)
