![]() I think every single person on the left who plays the "but-the-children"-card should be challenged to outline how they really think the OVERALL PROBLEM of immigration should be fixed. That's the thing ... to just make an issue only of families getting separated grossly oversimplifies the problem and doesn't deal with anything in terms of real solutions.

Obama was putting families with children in holding pens and caught hell for it. he made a rule twenty day they must go to a facility designed for housing humans. under trump there is no time limit for holding pens and children are ripped from parents and kept in facilities where -as you can hear- there are no child care workers just jailers. yes they are fed and yes it is not their fault. I have heard recently no one visiting or caring for those kids is allowed to hug them. If true, that is unhealthy. 5 first ladies condemned this today. And I'm sure if Barbara Bush was alive she would join them. YOUR PRESIDENT IS DOING THIS. THIS IS HIS POLICY. HE'S TRYING TO BLACKMAIL CONGRESS INTO PASSING HIS TYPE OF BILL. That is crushing the 3 tiered government we have. Trump is happy y'all argue over bs like this http://www.politicalwrinkles.com/new...-office-2.html than claim uphold your rights rights under the law. I DARE YOU to read the OP, click the link, close your eyes and listen and not weep. And not then be mad at the cruel self serving man we have as President.

The day after the standoff with the gangmembers, Rosa and her granddaughter fled. Fifteen days later, on November 18, 2016, they presented themselves at the Port of Entry in El Paso and asked for asylum. The granddaughter was released to her mother (who was living in the Houston area). Rosa, meanwhile, has been in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) EPPC detention center ever since—18 months and counting. (Rosa is not her real name—she recently contacted me through her lawyer, worried about being targeted upon return to Honduras, and asked that I remove any mention of her real name. Her lawyer told me that she was so nervous when he last spoke with her that she was shaking.) During her time behind bars, Rosa passed her Credible Fear Interview, the first step in the asylum process, and was granted protective status under the Convention Against Torture by an immigration judge—but three days later the same judge changed his mind and revoked her status. She was eventually denied asylum, and she has appealed her case. In her year and a half behind bars, her health has seriously deteriorated: she has lost significant weight, developed high blood pressure, tachycardia, and severe heartburn, among a host of other medical issues. “Why are they keeping me?” Rosa asked me. “They’re keeping me like a criminal. I don’t want to be here. I want to feel the warmth of my grandchildren.” When I asked Rosa’s attorney, Eduardo Beckett, why he thought ICE was continuing to hold her, he told me, “Cruel and unusual punishment.… I think she’s a prime example of the deterrence.” Despite mixed messaging from the Trump administration, the last year has seen the implementation of a barrage of hard-line immigration policies that, especially when taken collectively, send a stark message to potential asylum seekers: Stay away. If asylum seekers do not heed that message (many of them, like Rosa, have no other choice), they face prolonged detention, separation from their children, and humiliating, denigrating, and even inhumane conditions as they make their case for protective status. https://www.thenation.com/article/ic...ace-of-refuge/ By all national and international legal standards, seeking asylum is a lawful act, and asylum seekers should not be punished or detained for doing so. According to an analysis conducted by Yale Law School’s Human Rights Clinic, “administrative detention of asylum seekers beyond the time necessary to establish identity is an impermissible penalty under the Refugee Convention, except in the rare situations in which there are compelling reasons of safety or flight risk.”
