Democrats are responsible so now why suddenly unacceptable? [alien children separated from parents]

Crocodile tears are flowing from Democrats and their allies in the Democrat Media Industrial Complex (DMIC) over the Trump administration’s enforcement of immigration laws signed by then-President Bill Clinton in 1997, followed by then-President Barack Obama’s decisions and policies.

Immigration laws are a function of every country on the planet. Otherwise, why have borders? Which is something Democrats would apparently prefer not to have — or enforce. Because they want a recurring wave of new underclass voters, dependent upon the state for all their needs. Illegal aliens fit that description perfectly.

The latest salvo in the immigration imbroglio stems from illegal alien children flooding across America’s Southern border being separated from their parents.

The 1997 law that Mr. Clinton signed says minor children who enter the United States illegally must be separated from their parents who are sent to jail because they crossed the border illegally. Because children cannot accompany their parents to jail, they are separated and sent elsewhere, either shelters or foster homes.

A Friday Wall Street Journal story says nearly 1,500 young immigrant boys are being sheltered inside a converted Walmart supercenter in Brownsville, Texas, about six miles from the border with Mexico. The shelter opened last year with a capacity of about 1,200. It expanded last month and had fewer than 50 beds to spare Wednesday afternoon.

The shelter, said the story, is one of 100 such facilities in 17 states run by contractors for the government. “It is the largest licensed child care facility of its kind housing immigrant kids sin the country.”

Currently, the story continues, “most of the boys at the center, who are age 10 to 17, came to the U.S. without their parents, according to Alexia Rodriguez, vice president of immigrant child services and legal counsel for Southwest Key.”

The boys, some teenagers, will “likely spend around two months living, studying and adjusting to the U.S. at the shelter, living in dorm style rooms with up to five beds.”

They meet at least once a week with a therapist, occasionally take field trips to church, parks or the beaches of South Padre Island. And inside the structure, life is “highly structured, with meal times choreographed in two-hour blocks and outdoor time on a playground or basketball courts limited to just two hours a day. The boys’ nearly every movement is monitored by staff members.”

As of Wednesday, says the Department of Health and Human Services, the government was caring for 11,351 illegal alien children. A spokesman said they remain in the government’s care in a foster home or groups shelter for about 56 days. They leave when placed with a sponsor, either a parent or other relative willing “to promise the government they will take care of the immigrant children and make sure they attend immigration court proceedings.” Having announced plans to open tent cities to house the illegal alien kids, HHS officials are considering housing the alien children on military bases.

Though it’s unclear how many families have been separated since the zero-tolerance policy was enacted in early May, the U.S. Border Patrol said it arrested nearly 9,500 illegal aliens traveling as part of families, and “separately nearly 6,500 child immigrants traveling alone were arrested after crossing the border.”

Writing that Democrats created this entire situation, Ed Straker, senior writer at Newsmatchete.com, says Democrats allied with the courts “created a magnet of welfare benefits for illegal aliens who entered the country. It was so tantalizing that’s some families south of the border sent their children across, knowing they would get free food, shelter and education.

“Secondly, Obama expanded the definition of ‘asylum’ to include people who claimed they feared ‘crime gangs’ or even feared abusive husbands. They incentivized illegal aliens to make up stories of persecution and to flood the border, creating another magnet that drew in all these illegal aliens — and their children.

“Thirdly, Obama largely stopped prosecuting illegal aliens criminally for crossing the border.”

The Trump’s administration enforcement of the law has enraged Democrats and the DMIC. Which is ridiculous.

“But if you look at what caused the children to be here in the first place,” says Mr. Straker, “it was Democrats. Democrats expected the parents, and their kids, to be able to walk across the border, be given a court date many years in the future and be free to melt into the population — in effect, be given a ‘get out of jail free’ card. People south of the border, knowing this, have flooded across by the millions.”

Those decrying the Trump’s administration enforcement of Mr. Clinton 1997 law should consider the American taxpayers’ cost of providing health care and housing to illegal aliens and then education to their children. Along with more costs, public and private, of enforcing laws broken by illegal aliens.

Entering Mexico illegally is a felony that can net years in prison. In the U.S., illegal aliens can protest under their nation’s flag. In Mexico, no foreign resident can demonstration against the government.

If those entering America illegally don’t like America’s laws, if they find them cruel, they should stay home. It’s past time for America to enforce her laws and to take the unsustainable flow of illegal aliens, created by Democrats, seriously.

Literally.....Buchenwald.

Just more crap from the democRATS. The same people who advocate slaughtering babies in their mothers’ womb are now ranting about separating children from their criminal parents. Women in the US who commit crimes are separated from their kids when they are jailed. Seal the the damn border and modify these easy political asylum claims.

[xzins]

Asylum seekers must enter at a port of entry. Anyone just walking across the border is assumed to be illegal. IOW, there is a legal way to claim asylum.

[upchuck]

Thanks for the ping Jim. The RATS find themselves at another dead end :)

God please bless and keep President Trump, his family and those around him. Give them your wisdom. Amen

[Envisioning]

Ummm, to overshadow the IG report? Doesn’t matter. The more they holler about illegals the better for us!

[Chgogal]

Illegal is ILLEGAL. Don’t break the law don’t get separated. Life sucks for literally billions of people around the world. Just because law breakers break into this country gives them no special rights. You get rights by following the law. Hear that UNIPARTY??????

[DaveA37]

The bastard demodummies will look for, and use, anything they can find to accuse Trump for instead of looking in their own mirrors. They themselves created the issue of illegal immigrant child detentions. So now Pelosi is traveling to the border to view the process when she more than likely had a major hand in creating this.

[DBrow]

“immigration laws signed by then-President Bill Clinton in 1997”

Citation? Bill number, bill name?

Call up more National Guard or re-deploy a few active duty units along the border to stop 100% of everything from coming north.

The illegal children wouldnt be here if there was strict enforcement of our sovereign border with MEXICO. (FOR THE LAST 40 or 50 years!)

Trump needs to put so much political/economic pressure on Mexico that their legs start to wobble. I would drag this in from of the UN and show their human rights violations. Point out to a lot of European countries that the United States IS NOT going to end up in the situation many of them are finding themselves. Reiterate that Mexico's and every other nation on the planet that facilitates human trafficking into the United States is, by definition, declaring war on this sovereign country and that allows President Trump much more latitude in how the United States responds to this invasion. Militarize the border NOW!

BUILD A GIGANTICALLY YUGE WALL ! ! !

[Zakeet]

Wonder how the MSM and Rats are going to spin things when the 35,000 sealed indictments are opened, the more than 700 newly hired DOJ prosecutors get to work, armed with executive orders on asset seizure ... and then the bastards turn on each other and people begin to see what happen to those caged children during the Ozozo Administration ... anybody think the Donks and Newsers can keep Comet Ping Pong Pizza and the Lolita Express under wraps when all this finally breaks?

The 1997 law that Mr. Clinton signed says minor children who enter the United States illegally must be separated from their parents who are sent to jail because they crossed the border illegally. Because children cannot accompany their parents to jail, they are separated and sent elsewhere, either shelters or foster homes.

How Come the effeminate guy on CBS this morning shouted that Trump is lying and it's his legislation? Can the media be that full of lies just to support Dems?

[1Old Pro]

they are trying to stampede the herd over a cliff

The media is lying in an attempt to whip up a frenzy and make policy based on emotion not facts...again.

[Delta 21]

Show me the piles of shoes from murdered children. Show me the mass graves and piles of dead rotting humans roasting in the Texas sun.

Oh, thats right. They live in an air conditioned building with 3 hots and a comfy bed on mine and your dime.

You hyperbole more than me!

[goldstategop]

The fake news media, the Democrats and GOP establishment globalists’ outrage is fake - they want to use it to eliminate our borders and by extension, America altogether.

If we’re going to welcome any one who wants to come here no questions asked, why have laws and enforce them? And the Left is well aware that no civilized society can exist without the rule of law.

They want to do away wifh all of that for the children - in the name of political gain. They’re convinced they can ride the issue of their faux outrage over the non-existent separation of illegal alien kids from their parents back into power,

The US is enforcing its immigration laws but to make a long story short - the Left doesn’t want that and neither do they want our immigration laws reformed.

All for the children. If only they had care as much about American kids harmed by illegal immigration like Kate Steinle.

As is always the case, the demi-rats create the problem then blame the other side for not solving their problem.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

I was not kidding. I consult to several companies that employ Latin American H2B holders. They throw used toilet paper on the floor. Disgusting bunch. H2B’s should be handed out earlier with a month of mandated American cultural training before being let in the first time. Illegals should be jailed for a month with their kids and then deported. Second offense is a year. Third is firing squad.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Every dead body in the US and Mexico needs to be put right at the feet of the democratic party.. They are responsible for all of it.!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOTH parties have been supporting a policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders for 30 years.
Since the last amnesty, the GOP had only offered US Presidential candidates that supported amnesty/open borders until Trump broke through the Bush blockade at the RNC.
