    "Government officials say the camp is needed because facilities for migrant children have had to cut capacity by nearly half because of the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, the number of unaccompanied children crossing the border has been inching up, with January reporting the highest total — more than 5,700 apprehensions — for that month in recent years."

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/wapo-...r-children-after-hitting-trumps-kids-in-cages

    Here is a real journalist asking the Press Secretary about the kids in cages.



    In short, kids in cages with Biden or Obama as President is good. Kids in cages with Trump is bad.

    Now let's all be honest. We need to separate the children from the adults until we figure out who the adults are. Many of them are coyotes. It was not wrong when Obama had it, it was not wrong when Trump had it and it is not wrong now.

    What are should we do? We don't have mixed age prisons. The same policy considerations applies to detention centers.

    Trump solved this problem by keeping the illegal immigrants out of the U.S.A., but Biden just screwed that brilliant move up and now, kids are back in cages.

    Unaccompanied children. Not family separation. Same as Obama.

    How do we know if the adult is a parent or a human trafficker? I fully support Biden keeping kids separated and telling the caravan to turn around.

    Good. It was necessary when Obama did it. It was necessary when Trump did it. Its necessary now that Biden is doing it.

    All thats left is to eliminate the 'anchor' dynamic. Either those children should be deported with their parents, or they should be adopted by US Citizens if their parents cannot be contacted (or if their parents wish for their children to stay in the US).

    Spin it until it gets dizzy and pukes, but it's still kids in cages.

    The anchor issue shouldn't be an issue either. Anchor babies can't sponsor their parents until they are 18. That is just another law that is not enforced.

    Are you under the impression we are the only nation with birth certificates or ID? They prove it the same way anyone else does.

    And they should remain physically separated from the adults until either their parents are contacted or they're placed with a qualified guardian.

    Wrong. Trump did it for everyone. It was intended as a deterrent.
    In June 2018, Attorney General Sessions said, "If people don't want to be separated from their children, they should not bring them with them. We've got to get this message out. You're not given immunity."[137] White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said: "It was a simple decision by the administration to have a zero tolerance policy for illegal entry, period. The message is that no one is exempt from immigration law."[27]

    Its part of immigration law that groups be separated until familial relationship is established. Even when documentation is presented upon entry (which it rarely is), it still takes time to verify the documentation as authentic, especially since that documentation originates outside our locally accepted bureaucratic practices.

    You are correct to point out that Sessions said exactly that. I mean hell you have thevquote right there. Trump had his Liars Club of so called "PRAVDA Keepers " you must be the Sultan of Truth Sayers.

    Tell you a story of when I was a kid and when my mom caught me in a lie. She would debunk lies and insult me by saying ". Toh yeh Ruska Pravda" - meaning that is a Russian Lie.

    A blatant falsehood, of course. A residue of the Loser's pantywaists persist in such baseless nonsense.

    Alex Nowrasteh, director of immigration studies at the libertarian and very pro-immigration Cato Institute, is that
    “President Trump reduced legal immigration. He did not reduce illegal immigration.”
    https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...idn-t-actually-accomplish-much-on-immigration

    Of course, the white nationalists who worship the former guy and, responding to his ludicrous fake claim that he had won "in a landslide!" and attacked Congress loved his xenophobic policies, but they were unAmerican.

    Where’s your source that documentation is rare. And if it is, how was Trump able to end the separation policy??

    So your argument is it’s impossible for any human to prove their kids belong to them? Do we allow people to come back from overseas with their kids? How do they prove it?

    I’m still not happy with it, but I don’t know what you do with a 12yo who shows up alone
