Conclusive proof that it is Trump's policy to separate children from their families at the border

Yeah and I'd be surprised if International Law accepts seeking 'asylum from poverty' as a legitimate form of asylum seeking. I doubt it!

 

Congress enacted the laws that provide for arresting and incarcerating Illegal immigrants and separating them from any children that they accompany.

 

I assume what you refer to is a thousand families who were separated from their children. The girl in the picture wasn't separated. Time magazine simply claimed she had been taken from her mother by border agents. It was a lie. They made it up.

Correction: The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.
You liberals have a tenuous grasp upon reality.

 

International law doesn't accept refugees traveling across an entire country to get to another country to seek asylum.

 

So then doesn't international law permit the US to reject them?

 

Under what law is it a crime? And where would you put the kids instead? In prison with their parents?

 

I haven't addressed that in ANY post on this entire thread.

The issue here is that Trump took the children without there being a way for them to EVER be returned to their parents.

THAT is the humanitarian atrocity.

 

The cover accurately depicted a policy that has affected thousands.

You will notice that the picture is very clearly NOT a photograph.

For example, Trump wasn't there!!

Trying to claim that picture was intended to convey an accurate news story about that specific child is just plain silly. It clearly was NOT.

 

We may not have a law for it.

However, it IS a crime in the sense that it is a humanitarian atrocity.

Permanently taking babies from their mothers can not possibly be considered legitimate as a standard policy where there are not extenuating circumstances (such as the parent being proven to be a risk to the child or long term incarceration).

Trump policy separated thousands of children WITHOUT even bothering to check if such factors exist. And, he provided for the children to be disbursed even to adoption.

 

You missed my other question: Where would you put the kids instead? In prison with their parents?

 

How?

 

You just plain can NOT read to save your LIFE!!!

I've said over and over again that the issue I'm addressing is that:
- Trump ordered the kids to be taken away from their parents, including babies.
- Trump provided NO WAY for parents and those kids to EVER be reunited.

EVER!

THAT is the humanitarian atrocity. He took away babies from nursing mothers, and he is NOT providing a way for mothers to get their kids back after their cases have been resolved.

Please reread this until you get it.

 

And you can NOT answer my simple question to save YOUR life!

I understand that this is the issue that you're addressing, but why can't you come up with your solution? If parents are detained, WHERE ON EARTH WOULD YOU PUT THE KIDS?

Do you acknowledge that separation happened in a much smaller way under Obama? If so, what is the difference, other than scale?

Adoption? You mean fostering right? If not, provide evidence for your above assertion.
