Democrats prefer political gain over ending family separation

Democrats are positioning themselves to vote down a bill that would permanently prevent the separation of illegal immigrant parents and children. Remember this the next time you see liberals compare President Donald Trump and his administration to Nazis on this issue.

Trump signed an executive order Wednesday ordering that families remain together while officials determine the outcome of their case. Illegal immigration activists — yes, you read that right — are likely to sue Trump over that. To understand what’s happening and how to fix it, review the history.

In 1997, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the most liberal appellate court in America, imposed the Flores Settlement. It required the government to release minor children who came here illegally within 20 days of detaining them.

Here’s how a District Court judge in Texas summarized the Flores case in 2007: “The Settlement was the product of litigation in which unaccompanied minors argued that release to adults other than their parents was preferable to remaining in custody until their parents could come get them.”

Takeaway: Liberal activists were for separating children before they were against it.

The story is really.... "Democrats prefer 'Political GAMES' over ending family separation"

As the issue has unfolded, the Democrats have NOT made any political 'gains' over this issue.

You beat me to it.

The Democrats would demand Ravenous Bugbladder Beasts of Traal be given refugee and immigration priority if they thought they’d vote for them.

Trump made a mistake in killing the immigration reform bill. The Reps should have passed it in the House, and have all Rep Senators voting for it in the Senate. Let the dems kill it by not giving the nine votes needed to get to 60, and let them explain why.

Dems don’t want a solution - they want a problem.

You can always count on the Democrats to take the moral low ground and to sink as far into the sewer as possible.

They cry over everything. People are starting to wake up so they’ll be losing supporters.

The Party supports illegal children, but supports murdering unborn US children.

The LEFTIES do not care if America turns into a pile of rubble, as long as, they are in charge of the pile.
