WASHINGTON - Nearly 2,000 minors have been separated from their families at the U.S. border over a six-week period during a crackdown on illegal entries, according to Department of Homeland Security figures obtained by The Associated Press.

The figures show that 1,995 minors were separated from 1,940 adults from April 19 through May 31. The separations were not broken down by age, and they included separations for illegal entry, immigration violations or possible criminal conduct by the adult.

Miners should NEVER be taken from their families! Uh, never mind...

So we have approximately 100 foreign invaders per day and with all the Border patrol and National Guard we have deployed this has continued to happen? Sounds like there is a lot of holes that need to be plugged or maybe we need a different deterrent to stop this invasion.

The military needs to be deployed with orders to secure the border since it is clear that the DOJ cannot do anything but threaten and preach.

Why would American taxpayers volunteer to support parents who ignore the natural law of survival of the species and put their children in harm’s way by illegally crossing our border? I would rather have smart people as my neighbors so kids have good examples to choose from in their lives.

[Jeff Chandler]

This is the latest Leftist hysteria: Trump is separating the children from their parents!

[FrankR]

Note to those *illegal* parents:

Put your children with a responsible adult in your *own* country, and then YOU try becoming a responsible, LEGAL, citizen, (somewhere) and then take care of your children.

Responsible adults don’t just *dump* their kids. If you do that, we don’t want you as a citizen, as your whole family will just wind up on the dole and suck tax money out of the rest of us.

CHARACTER FIRST...we’ll listen to your sad stories later.

Since all of these people are "undocumented", how does anybody know that the minors are actually traveling with their actual parents and not some adult trafficking small sex slaves? Does 23 and Me have a field location set up to do immediate testing to verify a parent/child relationship?

Or do the democrats just want an unlimited supply of underage slaves?

[DPMD]

Meanwhile, at stale, local and federal prisons, adults are separated from their children for the duration of their sentences, and no efforts are made to shelter those kids in safe environments. And the reaction on the Left is...

Crickets.

[shanover]

How many tens of thousands of native born Americans need essential help in America every day?

[onedoug]

At the expense of the US taxpayer, of course.

The "heart-wrenching" factor is actually only a clear example of a despicable tactic to draw attention away from all the factors that are actually germane to the underlying issue. Just about everything they do involves deliberate Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Tactic.

We need to recognize that the American Leftist, today, has basically the same moral compass as Stalin's Pravda or Hitler's Goebbels. Their "wish lists" justify any means that undermines the heritage they seek to destroy.

Well i guess their irresponsible parents should stop breaking the law then huh?

[Yaelle]

NEWSFLASH!!!

When you commit a felony in the USA, you don’t get to take your babies to jail with you.

[Ohioan]

The hysteria is feigned. The intention is to misdirect the focus of the American people away from the actual issue. (Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Tactic)

The actual issue is whether we have an immigration policy that preserves our heritage. (An American Immigration Policy)

We, not the trespassing families, are the victims in what has been going on.

Let’s emphasize-——illegal Mexican aliens have two governments looking after their interests. The US govt subsidizing their every whim, and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.

THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO CONSIDERS MEXICANS ON US
SOIL TO BE MEXICAN CITIZENS SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO

A sworn affidavit by Mexico’s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico’s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system.

The Mexican consul’s sworn testimony asserts: “My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad.” US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents’ Mexican nationality.

The Mexican govt coaches their citizens on what and how to collect as much as possible........using multiple identities.

These connivers know exactly what to say: claiming “asylum” is a relic of WW11 when people were fleeing Europe. b/c it triggers hefty monthly SS checks. In addition, the invaders cant wait to get their greedy hands on freebies from the US taxpayer in the form of:

Universal Program for Subsidized Phones for Low Income (ObamaPhones),
EBT Food Stamps (SNAP),
ObamaCare Subsidies for Immigrants,
ObamaCare Subsidies for Low Income, Medicaid,
TANF Welfare, Energy Assistance, EITC,
General Assistance Cash,
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
Assets for Independence,
School Lunch Block Grant,
Job Assistance,
Job Training,
Minority Job Assistance,
Job Relocation,
Woman Infants and Children’s Program,
Hispanic Jobs Program,
Needy Families Cash Assistance,
Migrant Education,
Title One Grants to Local Education Authorities,
Social Security for Refugees (with coded SS nos to give illegals priority over US citizens).
and anything else they can scam.

Its time the US govt looks after the interests of American citizens.

[Yaelle]

Any other felonies you can commit at the border towns of the USA and get to take your baby to jail with you?

[vladimir998]

Obama’s administration did the same thing and no Liberal complained:

About what was done in 2013:

“The reports were sent by ICE in April to the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee, as required by law. ICE confirmed the authenticity of the two reports, which lay out 72,410 removals of immigrants who said they had one or more U.S.-born children in 2013.”

This was reported in the Leftist rag HuffPost on 06/25/2014 and updated 06/26/2014.

How many American prisoners are separated from their families?

So don’t cross our borders illegally and then you can stay with your shiftless moocher parents.
