The Los Angeles Times reports that Rio Grande Valley border agents prosecuted 568 adults and separated 1,174 children since the administration announced its "zero tolerance" policy in early April. However, it only took a matter of hours to reunite more than a third of these children with their parents.

It’s a complete nothingburger intended to get the IG report off the front page. There will be a new outrage next week.

It is the very essence of “fake news”

Fake not because it is a fabrication, but fake because it’s significance is enormously over-advertised.

A classic example of how the so-called “news” media is nothing more than he propaganda arm of he Democrat Party.

All of this BS with the "children in cages","Nazi Concentration Camps", "separation of families" is ALL distraction because of the IG Report.

I say we have a twofer where as we bring illegal alien families together and send them back to their HOME countries and put the liberals in cages for their attempted coup.

Migrants generally plead guilty, and then are sentenced to time served, typically all in the same day."

And then what? Deported? Released? Sent to the welfare office?

Immediately after crossing the border at anywhere other than the designated crossing points, the entire entourage, men, women, and children, should be whisked away to some offshore island, and held there until they have been thoroughly vetted, to assure ourselves that if they are refugees, that a real situation exists, and they are not merely part of a human trafficking conduit. If they are sincere applicants for residency within the US, either as a relative of someone already here, or as a potential permanent resident in their own right, then there are procedures to apply for that category, but first, they return to their home country.

No release into the open population, for either parents or children. If they actually are the parents of the children so detained.

It’s Really This Simple:

The sole objective of the open borders Democrat Socialists is to flood the United States with poor, illiterate and non-contributing foreign aliens who can be granted amnesty; easily enslaved with welfare dependency; and, form the basis of a new minority underclass that will ensure a permanent electoral majority for the foreseeable future.

EVERYTHING you see and hear from Democrat Socialists and their co-conspiring media is a direct extension of this objective, whether it be their histrionic outrage over separating families; opposition to border wall construction; liberal judges granting voting rights to non-citizens; every “astroturfed” protest; tolerance of the infiltration of murdering terrorists and gangs like MS-13; downplaying the escalation and horror of narcotics, adult human and child sex trafficking; establishing “sanctuary cities” in direct violation of federal immigration laws; and on, and on, and on.

All of these examples are just spokes in the Democrat Socialist wheel, but the hub of the wheel is the criminal and unconstitutional acquisition of unconstrained and unopposed power to control the lives of ordinary American citizens, while enriching themselves and their criminal enablers at the trough of the public treasury. It really is this simple. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted.

Logic and reason have no meaning. Democrats found an issue they can use and win big on, and they are winning.

The Russia thing is falling apart, the Democrat brownshirts in the FBI are being outted. The Democrats have nothing to run on but: “Trump is bad”. But this issue comes to light, and the media is dutifully doing a full court press.

Then they found this issue. It’s pure gold. In the court of public opinion, Trump and Republicans are being slaughtered. The best that the Republicans can do now is end the practice, and let the Democrats look for something else to use.

As a side note, Sessions recused himself from the Russia hoax. Sessions is behind this toxically unpopular practice. Is Sessions not very bright, or is he a saboteur?

They key point is this "separation" happens all the time when adult criminals are arrested and have children with them.

"As Rich Lowry explains in a detailed article in National Review, "when a migrant is prosecuted for illegal entry, he or she is taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals," in which case, as when other adults are incarcerated in the U.S., they are separated from their children.""

It was not a crisis when 0bama did it.
It became a crisis when they found out Trump did it too, even though Trump's Border Patrol got the resources to do it much more humanely.
Wonder Why? Never mind, I know why.

How is a nice clean temporary detention camp worse than hiding in a slum basement somewhere?

Here’s a story from 2014 of Hillary stating the same thing Trump does. The kids don’t belong there and should not expect to gain admission. Obama had same problem but found a way to keep it quiet when the U.S. media became politicized. http://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-immigration-children-daca-661952 .

I encourage everyone to listen to this interview from Breitbart Radio last night with Brandon Darby. They discuss the 2014 photo of children in processing centers with space blankets, and the true plight of illegal alien border crossers. It's heartbreaking stuff, especially when you follow it with how our crass MSM covered it up during the Obama years and are blaming Trump for it now.

Key fact: when people from other countries cross the US boarder in places other ports of entry, they are committing a crime (misdemeanor for the first offense and felony for the second);

Key fact: when US criminals are apprehended their children are taken to foster care;

Key fact: Many of the children are not children but young adults (MS-13 and the like);

Key fact: many of the children are not the children of the adult that used them to cross the border to get admitted (rent a kid, snatch an orphan in he home country);

Key fact: quit whining about Clinton era laws now being enforced by DJT.
