Discussion: Reuters: More Than 2,400 Immigrant Family Separations Since Late 2016

I’m beginning to think that “family values” means nothing more than holding photo ops showing repubs holding their children and cooing while photos shot the pic.

As the PuPPet was ranting about the danger immigrant children present his daughter was safe with her child and posing.

It’s not the humane thing to do either. No connection to religion is even necessary, but I can’t understand why representatives of every kind of church aren’t speaking out LOUDLY against this.

“Such conduct, if true, as it is assumed to be on the present motion, is brutal, offensive, and fails to comport with traditional notions of fair play and decency,” Judge Dana M. Sabraw of the Southern District of California wrote in his 25-page opinion.

Judge Sabraw is half Japanese so you know what the RWN push back will sound like. A shoutout to the ACLU for undertaking this case.

The Trumpites are outraged too, they just see it differently. In response to an asylum story today on a San Diego TV website in which a mother was separated from her children:

“I like how the camera is focused on her tears. Nice KNSD!
If she was a responsible parent, she would have left her children
in the care of family when she came to seek asylum/free ride.
She should be denied for child endangerment!!!”

“Oh yeah, it’s a total emotional manipulation to set the usual MSM narratives. Journalism is dead, it’s all social justice warriors and political operatives now.”

I despair.

Yeah, this is why the ICE releases detainees if they’re really ill so that the death counts won’t rise too much.

God damn.

I’m surprised somebody hasn’t put up the GIF or some kind of image of the Statue of Liberty weeping. This isn’t us.

IT shouldn’t be us, but I’m afraid it is—at least until Trump is gone.

How do we think Ivanka would react if while crossing an international border, on in a street sweep, she was seized by armed police and then separated from her precious child? It is not outside the realm of possibility, they are Jews after all, and it has happened before. But I am just wondering how she would react if she had to “walk a mile” in the shoes of some hapless immigrants that American authorities, on the order of her father, was breaking up families and separately incarcerating them in concentration camp style facilities.

Just wondering . . .

The despair is deep in this one. A minority president bolstered by a small base who don’t know truth from fiction have brought us to this place.

We were given to believe her presence in the admin would make a difference, she tried to capitalize on it talking about empowering women and whatever else. At bottom she’s her a father in a dress, a selfish user who like her husband is enjoying the perks of being close to the power of the WH.

Thank you. This is an astonishing policy of premeditated unnecessary cruelty. Write and call your reps - don’t let them take their eyes off of this.

Ahem-

MPs are calling for the police and parliament to investigate the links between the millionaire Brexit donor Arron Banks and the Russian government, after it emerged that he met the Kremlin’s ambassador to the UK three times, rather than once as he originally claimed.

From the Reuters article, and it’s very Orwellian.

Immigration and child advocates, Democratic lawmakers and the United Nations have all condemned the practice of separating families at the border, but the administration has defended its actions saying it is protecting children and making clear that illegal border crossers will be prosecuted regardless of their family circumstances.
