Kamala Harris: Trump's treatment of migrants is 'a crime against humanity' {BARF]
The Hill ^ | Friday, June 22, 2018 | John Bowden

Posted on 06/22/2018 10:57:09 PM PDT by Jyotishi

After visiting a migrant detention facility on Friday, California Sen. Kamala Harris (D) accused the Trump administration of committing "crimes against humanity."

Harris visited the Otay Mesa Detention Facility near San Diego, California, to meet with migrant mothers who had been separated from their children, according to Bloomberg.

"This is outrageous," Harris said, addressing a crowd of several hundred protesters outside the facility, Bloomberg reported. "This is clearly a crime against humanity that is being committed by the United States government and we have to stop it."

Harris blasted the administration for giving "no indication" of how the process of reuniting separated migrant families would work.

More than 2,000 migrant children were separated from their parents upon crossing into the U.S. illegally under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy from April to May. The policy, announced in April, sought to aggressively prosecute migrants who crossed the southern border illegally, often leading to children being separated from their parents as the adults awaited court dates.

Harris described the detention facility as a "prison."

"I am a career prosecutor; I have visited many prisons and jails. That is a prison," she said.

During her visit to the facility, which is operated by private prison company CoreCivic Inc., Harris spoke with three immigrant mothers who said they had been forcibly separated from their children at the U.S.–Mexico border with limited or no contact.

“Sorry you already made it to the Imbecile List Thank you for reapplying.”

I believe the poster was referring to Ms. Harris, not you.

So following the laws passed by Democrats is now a crime against humanity? Are the Democrats trying to create a crisis? Have they undermined the USA by criticizing anyone who carries out the laws they passed?

Kamala Harris could be guilty of treason and sedition? Does she hate America?

Kamala Harris is a crime against life itself. She should be humanely put down as a mercy killing. I. E., have mercy on the rest of us

How is prosecution of a criminal itself a crime?

The first time crossing a border in an unauthorized manner is a misdemeanor. The second and subsequent times, the transgression is elevated into the status of a felony.

In a bizarre way, Kamala Harris is quickly becoming the Republicans’ greatest promoter and district sales leader, if only by her perverse and counter-intuitive assertions, Devil’s advocate, it you will.

Criminal Penalties for Unlawful Entry (first time)

For the first improper entry offense, the person can be fined (as a criminal or civil penalty), or imprisoned for up to six months, or both. This is considered a misdemeanor under federal law

Criminal Penalties for Unlawful Reentry

In case the above penalties aren’t enough to deter illegal U.S. entrants, a separate section of the law adds felony penalties for reentry (or attempted reentry) in cases where the person had been convicted of certain types of crimes and thus removed (deported) from the U.S., as follows:

(1) People removed for a conviction of three or more misdemeanors involving drugs, crimes against the person, or both, or a felony (other than an aggravated felony), shall be fined, imprisoned for up to ten years, or both.

(2) People removed for a conviction of an aggravated felony shall be fined, imprisoned for up to 20 years, or both.

(3) People who were excluded or removed from the United States for security reasons shall be fined, and imprisoned for up to ten years, which sentence shall not run concurrently with any other sentence.

(4) Nonviolent offenders who were removed from the United States before their prison sentence was up shall be fined, imprisoned for up to ten years, or both.

What’s more, someone deported before a prison sentence was complete may be incarcerated for the remainder of the sentence of imprisonment, without any reduction for parole or supervised release.

This was a setup orchestrated by the left and the elitist globalists much like they did with the Muslims in Europe. A cloward priven strategy, overwhelm the system. This introduces a platform for the scum left to run with towards the 2018 midterms and the 2020 election, hence this dirt bag socialist kamala

That anti-American, anti-rule-of-law frauds such as kamala have positions of responsibility is a “crime against humanity “.

Oh, please please please let Kalamazoo Harris get the nod, with Princess Grey Beaver as her stalking mate.

Andrew Nitti Cuomo would be good, too. Hope Jeff Flake switches parties & becomes his running flake.

Kamala Harris’ nascent run for President in 2020 is a crime against people who work for a living.

Where were all these virtue signalers during Obama's 8 years?

FNC just had on Senator Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, using the F word about this. Real classy.

These people paid as much as $7000 or more to be brought to our border....Who paid for that? I sure don’t have an extra $7000.

How POOR can they be?

They all appear to have cell phones-—because the media is crying about how the young children cannot ‘remember’ their parent’s phone numbers. Since they are traveling, the reference has to be about CELL PHONES. Who pays for those phones? Where does the bill go? These people no longer are ‘living at their own home’.

There is so much BS about this whole mess.

These invaders are overwhelming this USA & it is exactly what Obama worked toward. Dems are focused on destroying the USA.

The pushback will be severe.

Willie Brown’s mistress is a skank. All of her blathering is to keep HER in the spotlight for the 2020 Dem nomination for President.

She is a prefect example of: “You can put lipstick on a pig......”
