Trump administration proposes longer-term detention of migrant families

NYT:

The Flores Agreement Protected Migrant Children for Decades. New Regulations Aim to End It.

The reality is that the separatia of children from their parents/families was started under homosexual Obama.

How long before they have to work while detained ?

CNN:

CBP refuses to publicly reveal how many migrants are sick with contagious diseases

They already make immigrants work in detention facilities.

You all should be giving every dollar you can to the ACLU and SPLC in Texas, Arizona, etc. Give directly to those particular chapters so your money goes specifically to the attorneys who are on the front lines trying to represent these people pro bono.

This is a post-modern deconstructed holocaust. Interesting— my autocorrect didn’t have the word “holocaust.” We we’re prepared for something like this to happen.

I wholeheartedly agree with R6 This is horrific, shameful. And still no word on all of those kids who have disappeared.

You are aware that these folks can leave anytime, right? They just have to say “I want to go home” and they will be put on a plane back to Honduras or El Salvador or wherever.

FUCK OFF r8. And go fuck yourself while you’re at it. Got it, cunt?

He and his ilk are making money off these places...that's all they care about. Soulless, craven pieces of shit.

Trump officials say children of some service members overseas will not get automatic citizenship

WTF, children born to US service members overseas aren't citizens?! Every day it goes farther beyond the pale.

I'd rather be freaking homeless as opposed to stay at the [italic] Trump Budget Bed & Breakfast Inns of America, L.L.C.

Who are the dumb illegals that keep trying to come over here knowing what could happen to them? They are just as much to blame putting themselves and their families in such danger.

Deport them immediately. They are economically migrants and have no right to be here.

economic migrants, sorry

I hope to Jesus someone beats the crap out of Stephen Miller every damn day from here to eternity. I hope he ends up in worse than an internment camp once Dump goes down in 2020. This has his shit covered hands all over it.

R23, and R24, I am going to ask you a sincere question: How well informed are you about Central America, and it’s economy?

You see, here’s the thing, the reasons why the United States has a huge immigration problem with Central America and Mexico, are various. America has consistently meddled with the economy in Central America, and Mexico. Everything from creating banana republics for private, corporate profits, to gorilla warfare, to drug trafficking, and NAFTA, are conditions created by the United States. And that’s not a maybe. These are facts.

As a country, we cannot enter into undeveloped areas, foster corruption, and not expect dire consequences. These immigrants come here because they are poor as fuck. They have nothing on offer for themselves, and nothing on offer for their children. Who the fuck would risk walking hundreds upon hundreds of miles into a strange land, if they did not have to?

It’s complete bullshit to blame these migrants for their poor prospects, when US foreign policies are directly responsible for their dire straits.

Also, please remember to drink more water, so that perhaps you can grow a heart.

That was very eloquent, r27, but please ........

"Gorilla" warfare ?

SPELL CHECK is your friend.

I assume r23 and r24 are related to this school staffer......

Too expensive. They need to speed up the courts.

Blaming America for the mass migration is like blaming Spain for having set up the shitty colonies in the first place. Okay, but... so what? America's incompetent when it comes to trade deals, but Spain was incompetent when it came to colonization (cf. Britain).

R28, we both know it’s GUERRILLA warfare. I speak, read and write 3 languages fluently, including Spanish, so F off.

R31, false equivalence and you damn well know it.

No, they cannot just be released to their countries of origin. Trump administration is deliberately holding them, even when many of them are claiming to want to go back, but you know that already. Blocked.

Atrocious savagery

Trump Administration Is Not Funding Legal Aid In 3 Migrant Children’s Shelters

There's big money to be made the in the immigrant industrial complex in which contractors come in & set up tent city jails and hold these people in deplorable conditions, all the while charging the fed government big bucks. That's what this is about - yet another cash grab from Jabba and his ilk. No doubt other repugs like Moscow Mitch have their fingers in this pot too. Though I had to chuckle that children born overseas to military families would be impacted by some of Dump's attempted overhaul of immigration. I wonder how Rush Limbaugh will spin that to all this military die hard listeners.

We can't afford to take care of people here. Send them home.

Yes, these are concentration camps with slave labor

Here's Everything To Know About The Status of Family Separation at the U.S. Border, Which Isn't Nearly Over

Washington Post: Immigrant kids fill this town’s schools. Their bus driver is leading the backlash.

© Courtney Perry/For The Washington Post A Worthington resident shows support for school expansion. In five years, voters have rejected an expansion five times. A sixth referendum is set for November. Many students feel pressured to work to pay off their debts and contribute to household expenses: rent, electricity, even WiFi.

One 17-year-old asylum seeker from Guatemala said he cleaned a meatpacking plant by night, attended class by day and milked cows in the afternoon before grabbing a few hours of sleep.

But he could never fully repay the Worthington relative with whom he was living. Now 18, he’s dropped out of school, moved to another state and works construction. His asylum hearing is scheduled for March in Minneapolis but he fears he won’t have the money to attend, forfeiting his already uphill battle for asylum.

“I didn’t think the United States was going to be like this,” he said recently. “So hard.”

[quote]The reality is that the separatia of children from their parents/families was started under homosexual Obama.

No, Obama did not. Right wing trolls have been spinning this but it's not true.

Someone posted something awhile back but I don't know if it was his own spin or something he'd heard but it was to the effect of "these camps are meant to contain them and for them to die in them. Make no mistake, they are meant to die in them".

Why the hell do illegals keep coming over here knowing the awful things that could happen to them in those camps? They’re being stupid. At least in their homeland they don’t have to worry about being put in camps,

Yes, let's be honest. He did not.
