Family Separation at the Border: US citizens are now being detained

I think she knows that she is lying but she is convinced it is all completely worth it because the ends justify the means.

Most likely.



Pubs best play for a while, sadly, was just to lie about and obstruct Obama. Harder to get away with constantly lying when you have power.
 
Migrant children in U.S. are being held in unlicensed shelters, lawyers say

Some facilities holding unaccompanied migrant children are operating illegally without licenses and committing several other violations, according to a team of lawyers who oversee a court-ordered agreement dictating where -- and how -- the government can house the children.

The lawyers sent a list to the Justice Department of more than a dozen facilities that failed to produce licenses when inspected. One of them is a rapidly expanding facility in Homestead, Florida, that is the largest facility for unaccompanied children in the country and run by a company that cannot access the state's child abuse background system because it does not have the required license.

"We have a team of over 250 lawyers, doctors and paralegals visiting these places. We've interviewed hundreds of detained children. We think there are violations across the board," said Schey, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law, which is the only non-governmental organization permitted to inspect and assess every facility where immigrant children are held.

"Their whole program is in total violation and they must know that," he added, referring to the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the agency that oversees shelters for unaccompanied children.
 
What it looks like when a country actually tries to help desperate migrants: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2019/01/colombia-welcomes-millions-venezuelans-maduro-guaido/581647/

Keep in mind that last year, the Trump administration tried to slash aid to Colombia because they "weren't doing enough" to keep migrants there. The Congress, to its credit, rejected this idea. Clearly Colombia is doing far more to assist and integrate these migrants than the US. If the goal is to deter migration to the US (without commenting on whether that is a wise or appropriate goal), amp up aid to Colombia. Aid is currently about 391 million a year, or 6.8% of the money demanded for The Wall. Aiding these Colombian efforts would actually help people achieve a better life. That makes a lot more sense than attempting to deter already desperate people by erecting barriers to make the frothing base happy.
 
Family Separation at the Border = 62 pages of outrage from the Tunnels' Left

Infanticide proposed by Dem lawmakers = *crickets*
 
Nothing to see here... keep moving.

Looking forward to the wall-to-wall coverage on this tonight on MSNBC.

 
To make sure I have Brad's outrage appropriately identified,

1) babies in cages- fuck 'em.
2) proposed abortion law that hasn't passed yet- the "tunnels left" are hypocrites.

Is that about right?
 
It sounds an awful like trying to decide what measure to take for an adult on life support (non viable).

Yep

Pretty sure that whole discussion/proposal has to do with severely malformed offspring. Very difficult stuff indeed.
 
Right. It allows parents to make some very difficult decisions.
 
did you actually listen to the discussion or just furiously masturbate to what the rube nation twittersphere had to say about it
