Let's be clear: This administration's dehumanization and cruelty toward migrants will not stop after Kirstjen Nielsen leaves office. It is their principal policy. Family separation profoundly harms children and their parents and we must oppose attempts to continue it at every turn.
And now this
glaug
Yeah, nah, prisoner abuse is always wrong.

Keep drinking the water @OP
Fahargo
So you completely agree with keeping the kids in custody with the family while they await processing?
bradleyo24
It's better than separating them and the losing them. They aren't in jail it's detainment.
Fahargo
Yes it is better than seperating them i agree. The only problem is they bitch about detaining them at all

You guys have lost your minds.

Against military/intel advice, yesterday Trump labeled Iranian military terrorists, they in turn labeled ours terrorists. Lives at risk.
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
We already label them as the largest state sponsors of terrorism
glaug
I thought that was Reagan
NewtGinGrinch
It's already being normalized on the media. Can just claim they are financing terrorism with no proof. Easier than saying WMDs.
Skizzlesnap
It’s why they literally have declared a “war on terror”. Whenever they want to go to war with a country, they just label them terrorists.

If people want in the country, they can wait in line like they're supposed too. Entering illegally is asking for problems

The point is the punishment is way too severe for the act. And if you defend this policy you're a piece of shit.

Like child torture? Fuck you

It is legal to enter the country and ask for asylum. It is specifically provided for by law

Citation: Refugee act of 1980 and the UN 1951 Refugee covenant. The 1951 act is a ratified treaty, which means it holds constitutional force

Anyone here (which is most) that think there is any excuse for holding children and treating them like animals are shitty people.
IsolatedThinker
dont get wrong this post is kind of mess with a dumb ass title though.
Fahargo
Keep the kids with the family, (locking family in cages) releasing kids to relatives( losing children to human traficking) 1/2
Fahargo
Stupidly still holding kids separated from their family. (Caging children) its seems the only option left is releasing them
daromander
How is releasing to family part of human trafficking?
Fahargo
When they had a policy of separating children but not detaining them, theres reports they lost track of like 1700 kids. Its feared 1/2
Fahargo
Some were trafficked.
scuba7jb
Or..... and hear me out now, if the parents didn't try to illegally migrate, the problem could be avoided in the first place.

Its almost like they are breaking a law and being treated like prisoners in the US....

Hey, if kidnapping the kids discourages the parents imagine what shooting the kids at the border in front of the parents will do!
georgejimmydoodle
Fuck you and your kids.
atkinsongl
Come on idiot, don’t bring kids into this, that’s Trump fan shit
6gunglenn5772
You mean the kids I refuse to involve in an illegal border crossing?
Septagrim
The hate you’re getting is intense. You kicked their nest.
atkinsongl
Yeah, just something about tossing kids in cages for their parents seeking asylum rubs some of these libtard snowflakes the wrong way.
Septagrim
Just like your cool uncle Barry used to do?
atkinsongl
You sound triggered, poor snowflake lol
Septagrim
Triggered* Snowflake* You're showing your hand bub.

When they refer to white isis I assume they’re referring to themselves.

Has to be. All black with a mask on? I look like a fucking 2nd baseman. Lol

We do not punish children for their parent’s crimes. We do not dehumanize and criminalize minors because we dislike their parent’s choices
chchcheribomb
And half the time, these people are legal asylum seekers who have committed no actual crime
6gunglenn5772
Do you have stats on this "half the time"? Is it 50%?
chchcheribomb
Even if the parents were attempting to enter illegally 100% of the time, it would not justify punishing and detaining children. Period
georgejimmydoodle
Well, they are alive without being white. That's a crime to repubs and evangelicals.
6gunglenn5772
But it was Democrats that fought to keep slavery.
