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.

Move the MS-13 members into the homes of the RAT politicians.

Then, when their family members are raped, robbed, and murdered, we can all yawn.

Why do the Democrats hate the victims of child traffickers?
*********************
The question is, “Why do the Democrats hate children?” They promote and champion abortion on demand, while all the time claiming they protect children. They view the destruction of a living child as birth control and pro choice.

The real question is why do we continue tolerate Democrats who are clearly no longer Americans?

The Ameritrash must be cast out

Dems wouldn’t take Trump’s DACA deal, and now we know why. They don’t care about DACA recipients, or even illegals. Just raw totals and power, obtained by any means.

While I’m at it, where is the DOJ Civil Rights Division? They ought to be launching a criminal probe into San Francisco’s attempt to register illegals to vote, openly and brazenly. Just imagine if the GOP tried recruiting preteen gun-owners to vote - CRD would be all over that, with lib flamethrowers egging them on.

If it actually passes, I’ll enjoy watching Trump veto it.

since DNA is a very good way of determining one’s genetic family/heirs/parents, why would the Democrats oppose using it to prevent children being given to someone who was not legally ‘family’?

ANSWER: Because they never cared in the first place. All they want is Hispanic voters, low-wage workers for big Democrat-owned/run businesses, and “cannon-fodder” for the revolution (hattip to W.E.B. DuBois for his 1930’s warnings to American Negros “NOT” to become Communist Party USA “cannon-fodder” expendable foot soldiers of the revolution.

The DuBois quote is found somewhere his the massive and publicly viewable files at the FBI online FOIA library. It has been a while since I last saw that quote but the File Segment Number 33 or 34 comes to mind. Embedded in the middle of one of those files.

Good God, I thought they were talking about fishing. Would have been really upset if that was true case.
