Here is a clue. If you don’t want to get your kid removed, stay your butt in MEXICO!! I am sick of this maudlin $hit!!
BIG SIGNS AT ENTRY POINTS:
“WARNING - ENTERING THE UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY WILL BRING JAIL FOR YOU AND SEPARATION FROM YOUR CHILDREN”
(lay this all at the feet of those crazy orgs that printed out pamphlets that coached people how to claim refugee status. And the ‘religious groups’ that encouraged them...)
In fact, there is no law that requires families to be separated at the border. There is a law against improper entry at the border, as well as a consent decree known as the Flores settlement that limits to 20 days the amount of time that migrant children may be held in immigration detention, which a federal judge ruled in 2016 also applies to families. A 2008 antitrafficking statute signed into law by a Republican president, George W. Bush also requires that certain unaccompanied alien minors be transferred out of immigration detention in 72 hours. None of those laws or precedents mean that children must be taken away from their parents.
Go ahead, lefties...try truth for a change. Just say that you support catch and release.
