Senate Democrats Push National Catch-and-Release Bill
Breitbart ^ | 18 Jul 18 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/19/2018 7:11:40 AM PDT by xzins

Senate Democrats are rallying behind a “family reunification” bill which promises a policy of catch-and-release for nearly all migrants who bring their children over the border.

The bill would allow the migrant parents to stay in the United States until their children’s legal pleas are finally resolved. That legal stay could last for several years if the courts’ existing two-year backlog of 700,000 cases is increased by many migrants eager to accept the Democrats’ catch-and-release invite.

The Reunite Every Unaccompanied Newborn Infant, Toddler and Other Children Expeditiously (REUNITE) Act, is sponsored by California Sen. Kamala Harris, Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, and Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto. The bill is needed, they say, to stop President Donald Trump from sending migrants’ children to government shelters so their parents can be detained until their immigration and asylum cases are heard.

The bill “would require the Trump administration to immediately reunite separated children with their parents, ensure that separated children have access to legal counsel … [and ensures] families are not detained as they pursue legal avenues of relief,” said Cortez Masto.

“This is the reason I brought a minor with me,” said Guillermo T., 57, a construction worker who recently arrived in Arizona. Facing unemployment at home in Guatemala, he decided to head north; he had been told that bringing his 16-year-old daughter would assure passage. He asked that only his first named be used to avoid consequences with his immigration case.

“She was my passport,” he said of his daughter.

The bill would also bar the use of DNA technology to verify migrants’ claim to be parents of the children and would redirect funds from enforcement programs to fund the extra immigration inflow.

Why do the Democrats hate the victims of child traffickers?

There is no other way to see the dem’s desire to forbid DNA testing to determine family relationship.

Catch and release
Typical Demonic-rats wasting dollars. Why spend Millions, and risk lives catching if you just going to release them?

No wonder the more intelligent among them want to shut down ICE. It makes more sense that catch and release.

They want men in female bathrooms, they want men dressed as women, they want kids paired not with their parents, muslims groping women, raping women, illegals killing Americans, children being raped.

How many must die, be raped before the extremist sicko’s on the left wake the hell up?

I despise the Democrats, but let’s compromise. We’ll go more towards your approach, only if we amend the Constitution such that anyone who comes to this country via asylum or illegal entry, no matter what age they are, can never, ever be a US citizen or vote in US elections.

THAT is only the MEANS to the OBJECTIVE. The objective is complete and total power to quell these 'problems' and solely in the hands of Democrats. They create the problems, then tell their stupid voters only they can fix the problems, but they never do. They want the problems to continue forever, because if they were fixed, nobody would vote for them..........................
