Why do we separate convicted bank robbers from their children?

[Micawber]

Think so?

Know so,


"neither the Obama nor the Bush administrations systematically split up families at the border"

The Trump administration has forced the separations by choosing to prosecute the parents, whose children by law can’t join them in criminal detention, Pierce said. If the parents were instead referred to civil deportation proceedings, then the children could remain with them, she said.

Id.

The Obama White House brainstormed ways to control the surge and discourage families from making the journey. One of those ideas was to separate parents from their children, an Obama domestic policy adviser told The New York Times.

“I do remember looking at each other like, ‘We’re not going to do this, are we?’” said Cecilia Muñoz, the adviser. “We spent five minutes thinking it through and concluded that it was a bad idea. The morality of it was clear — that’s not who we are.”

Suck on it, Lesion.

So?

It's a fact that the Obama Administration did separate immigrant parents from their children. I can post examples again if you like.

Lying liberal moron thinks this is about asylum.

They also think it's about "refugees", and don't seem to understand the difference.

So everything, Lesion. Yes do post them again. If that happened, it is reprehensible and was not a policy decision. Sucks to be you, lesion troll.
You are now, in addition to everything else, the new Korematsu party, without the security justification.

Republican = always having to ask forgiveness. Shame on you.

It may not have been a publicly-announced policy decision, yet it was something that a happened and that no JPP liberal ever mentioned, AFAIK.

As I suspected. You have nothing.

[Granule]

Shit! We'd have this place crawling with unwanted people in the same manner in which we came here!

You make even less sense in the morning. Are you a day power drinker?

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Undocumented migrants aren't violent felons like bank robbers..

Many of them are. Mexico is trying to dump all their criminals and poor people on america.

Why don't DIMOcrats pass legislation if they don't like it. Rather that obstructing then hiding. All disgusting pigs.

What are the chances of that legislation getting approved by a republican Congress and president?

[christiefan915]

Didn't Obama promise executive action in 2014 and then postpone it because of pressure from DEMOCRATS facing reelection? It seems they feared the fallout they might get from the voters if he kept his promise, IIRC.

You're awfully reliant on whataboutism to counter the arguments against trump.

[Legion]

You don't seem inclined to ponder the odds Obama possessed when he had a DEMOCRAT majority in Congress, yet failed to produce any reforms except via Executive Order.

You remember that. It enabled him to sign Obamacare into law without a single Republican vote in favor.

[Micawber]

The issue that is the current event is the ripping apart of babies and very young kids from moms at the border, known by virtue of viral video,
and Trump's action and reaction to it (and that of his spin doctors and mouth pieces)

The discussion can certainly be enlarged to immigration enforcement all over, but that is beyond the scope of the current event.

[Truth Detector]

I see a difference between a bank robber and a family trying to escape violence, hunger and forced prostitution.

That's not what is actually happening though. What we have is a liberal dogma in this country that encourages illegal behavior and the notion that one can fabricate that they are in need of asylum so that the Democratic Party of the Jackass can find more low information uneducated constituents.

It's not fooling most Americans and this will be reflected in the midterms I believe.

[Truth Detector]

Yes, but not one that should result in putting children in jails.

This is a lie again; why do you feel compelled to lie? They aren't being placed in jails.

[Truth Detector]

Possession of marijuana is a federal crime that the Trump administration is choosing not to enforce.

That is another lie; why do you feel compelled to lie so much? Link us up to where your lies are coming from.
