Keep them together as a family unit, when possibleHave any of the critics here stated what we should do with all these adults and kids?
the article relates to deportation of an established family member. That's still occuring and is separate from immediate family separations.
Please explain. The kid’s facility looks like a Dave and Busters. Pretty damn nice including air conditioned. They are safe. They get fed, bathed and even have classrooms. If their home life was better than this, they have no legitimate claim of asylum. Their “parents” have the option of picking them up and taking them home.You really don't have a single clue what you're talking about. If you did, you'd know that your statement above is quite literally, the opposite of the truth.
Numerous times but you’re too eager to get your bigoted views out to the masses.Have any of the critics here stated what we should do with all these adults and kids?

Sounds like a politician when they don’t have a real answer. Law forbids them to be detained with in an adult facility more than 20 days. The surge of these people has backlogged the dockets so that time expires before their date.Keep them together as a family unit, when possible
Sorry I jumped in late. Tom tried but I hope there were more than that. Looks like you are stumped on the question as well since you did not offer a solution and went straight to the racist card.Numerous times but you’re too eager to get your bigoted views out to the masses.
I don't mean to be a jerk (at least too much) but your point above just proves my point about liberal obstructionists. They do nothing but block Trump initiatives and bad mouth anything he proposes. It's quite pathetic and is why I hate liberals.
Smugglers running from cops. Are you convinced yet our border situation is in chaos?5 people died yesterday. All of them were immigrants.
Yes. Send a message that we’re no longer going to catch and release. We’re going to enforce the laws until better laws are passed. When these people start returning home, they will get the message.Whatever could be done? We've had this problem for well over a month now so there's clearly no way of fixing it.
What? Did anyone ever claim otherwise?Smugglers running from cops. Are you convinced yet our border situation is in chaos?
we probably need to shoot/behead a few and hang their corpses on the fence so they'll know what's coming if they cross.Yes. Send a message that we’re no longer going to catch and release. We’re going to enforce the laws until better laws are passed. When these people start returning home, they will get the message.
Let’s see:If you are interested in cruel and unusual punishment maybe you should direct your comments to the parents and family who endangered their children by knowingly entering a foreign country illegally. They are safer where they are now than when they were traveling with smugglers across the border.
Let’s see:
One is individuals taking a risk to try to have a better life for themselves and their families.
The other is a government agency being unnecessarily cruel to said individuals.
You’re bad at analogies and at distinguishing when laws should be applied.
You’re also bad at basic human decency.
Seeking asylum is not illegal. Don’t let the most basic of facts get in the way of your fervor though.Your comments are just ridiculous, they are breaking the law! If you go to prison you are separated from your family.
You use this quote as if you think conservatives actually care about Jesus or his teachings.

I just gave you proof based on senate confirmations of Trump appointees - longest in history and still not complete. You want to disprove, give me your own evidence.Kind of hard to believe that this obstruction is worse since you are unable to provide anything to back that up.
You seem to be quite bad at math....Yes... horribly lax... you were admitted
Opinions and the truth are normally quite different.You really don't have a single clue what you're talking about. If you did, you'd know that your statement above is quite literally, the opposite of the truth.
In case you haven't noticed the change has taken place over the past couple of decades. We have had foreign immigrants infiltrating our country performing horrific acts like using airplanes to kill thousands or driving trucks into crowds, using tools like knifes, machetes, axes or any other means they can find to kill Americans. We have airports and other public areas forced to take drastic security measures. Terrorists have caused mass hysteria and paranoia across all races, religions or other demographic. I can go on and on, but this is a new world where new immigration and security laws have to be enforced, overhauled or be created. It's ridiculous that we have people questioning securing our borders, using eVerify for workers or even using voting IDs. We require a drivers licenses after all.This country used to be the standard bearer that stood above other countries in how we dealt w/ those that have been wronged at home and are seeking refuge. We've lost that moral high ground in a matter of weeks.
And then what? Pay to have them flown back to a South American country, or do we just throw them back over the fence into Mexico where they can then try again?Keep them together as a family unit, when possible
Things are multiple layers more complex than reported... by either side. Why? Most don't want to hear details. Simpler to create a metaphor "Nazi's" or "illegal aliens are murderers and rapists". Great headlines.
The issue is resources and how to manage a sovereign nation. We have more resources than we need. Some have less than they can survive on. Populations migrate to resources, despite borders.
As a sovereign nation, we have the right to decide who and how many come across our borders. The people of this nation want to take care of the (“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.).
But we are a nation of entitlements. If we have free access to our resources, then we will be over run and all will suffer.
Yet, we can't come up with a comprehensive plan because both sides use it as political capital to help swing the population to their party. The name calling itself is enough to assure no progress. Sean and Rachel make more money when their party is out of power, fueling the masses with lies, name calling, exaggeration and finger pointing.
We could fix this. But that is not immediately satisfying to the media and politicians.
The fact you weren't up in arms over it before makes your moral outrage hollow.
It's a terrible thing to do but perhaps if such a terrible choice weren't forced upon us as a nation the policy wouldn't exist.
"There is no one process. Judging from the mothers and fathers I’ve spoken to and those my staff has spoken to, there are several different processes. Sometimes they will tell the parent, “We’re taking your child away.” And when the parent asks, “When will we get them back?” they say, “We can’t tell you that.” Sometimes the officers will say, “because you’re going to be prosecuted” or “because you’re not welcome in this country” or “because we’re separating them,” without giving them a clear justification. In other cases, we see no communication that the parent knows that their child is to be taken away. Instead, the officers say, “I’m going to take your child to get bathed.” That’s one we see again and again. “Your child needs to come with me for a bath.” The child goes off, and in a half an hour, twenty minutes, the parent inquires, “Where is my five-year-old?” “Where’s my seven-year-old?” “This is a long bath.” And they say, “You won’t be seeing your child again.” Sometimes mothers—I was talking to one mother, and she said, “Don’t take my child away,” and the child started screaming and vomiting and crying hysterically, and she asked the officers, “Can I at least have five minutes to console her?” They said no.
In another case, the father said, “Can I comfort my child? Can I hold him for a few minutes?” The officer said, “You must let them go, and if you don’t let them go, I will write you up for an altercation, which will mean that you are the one that had the additional charges charged against you.” So, threats. So the father just let the child go. So it’s a lot of variations. But sometimes deceit and sometimes direct, just “I’m taking your child away.”
Parents are not getting any information on what their rights are to communicate to get their child before they are deported, what reunification may look like. We spoke to nine parents on this Monday, which was the 11th, and these were adults in detention centers outside of Houston. They had been separated from their child between May 23 and May 25, and as of June 11, not one of them had been able to talk to their child or knew a phone number that functioned from the detention center director. None of them had direct information from immigration on where their child was located. The one number they were given by some government official from the Department of Homeland Security was a 1-800 number. But from the phones inside the detention center, they can’t make those calls.
We know there are more parents who are being deported without their child, without any process or information on how to get their child back."
If even a fraction of this is true and don’t doubt all of it is, I don’t know how it can be applauded.
Hiding behind a law to abuse families and children is disgraceful.
Yeah OK. Got it. What’s YOUR solution. Not a kick the can one either. A solution?
You’re an asshole if you selectively use the Bible to guilt people into making decisions.
-me
Then what should be done with the illegal families ?I think they should remain with their families
Yeah OK. Got it. What’s YOUR solution. Not a kick the can one either. A solution?
For well over a month? You mean since 1996. Yes that would be well over a month.Whatever could be done? We've had this problem for well over a month now so there's clearly no way of fixing it.
