You mean the law, Flores consent decree, took those children away? Yes. Thank you for bringing that up. As for the government having "no plan" to reunite families, how exactly would you reunite a child with a parent incarcerated for an indefinite amount of time? Have him wait outside a federal prison for several years until good old dad walks out? You aren't even remotely serious, not unlike Charles Schumer.
No, Trump policy took those kids away. That was NOT happening until Trump dictated his new policy. Trump has no policy for reuniting families where the parents are not incarcerated AT ALL beyond their hearing date. Trump policy has had parents deported without the parents even knowing where their children are. Don't pretend this is all about Flores. It absolutely is NOT.
Probably because no one (certainly not Obama) was actually arresting people for entering this country illegally. When people are arrested the government can only hold minors for forty days before having to release them. You should actually learn the law. It certainly is and I can't help it if the facts displease you. Parents leaving prison wanting to know where their children are (although I can't believe some child would be separated from his father for several years and not keep in touch at all!) can find them through DHHS or whatever the appropriate agency is. Don't piss on American immigration law and you won't need to worry about such things.
Obama has deported more people than any other president in history. It was under his watch that the number of undocumented aliens in America STOPPED GROWING!!! And, you should learn to READ. You're suggesting I said something I did not say. Again, Trump split up these families even before there were hearings and did so without providing a way for the families to EVER be reunited. That is a humanitarian atrocity. Oh, really??? Are you serious??? Not even the family lawyers have been successful at finding out where their client's kids are. Yet you think a kid is "keeping in touch"??? There is NO promise of that. Those deported were given the phone number of HHS to call from the country to which they were deported. They don't even have the "A number" assigned to their kids. And, HHS says that some of the kids have been put in foster homes and/or adopted out. This is Trump policy. And, the idea that we should allow Trump to carry out this atrocity is about the most absurd definition of citizenship I've ever heard. There is NO reason ANY American should accept that our government can treat families in this manner.
People disagree with you. https://www.libertyheadlines.com/backlog-on-illegal-immigrant-removals-skyrocketed-under-obama/ Got documentation for this claim? Right. Father Jose goes to federal prison. Why wouldn't a child stay in contact with his father by mail, if nothing else? You've never heard of relatives writing to family members in prison? Where are you from? So I don't hear you saying it is impossible or even improbable for someone to find a relative in the prison system through HHS. It is Trump policy to arrest people entering the nation illegally. No catch and release. It is the Flores agreement that says the government can't hold children over forty days. The rest is your uncorroborated blather. Tell Charles Schumer to work on some legislation to fix the problem if it distresses you. It certainly doesn't seem to distress Schumer and his pals.
After reading the thread you demonstrated CLEARLY that you simply are backed in the corner and WON'T answer the question.
When criminals are incarcerated they are separated from their children and this goes for citizens as well as non citizens. What's your soulution, family prisons?
Well he's autographed pictures of those killed by nasty, violent, killer, swarming hordes of immigrants so he's definitely signed something.
You are blaming a whole people for these crimes. That is NEVER a legitimate approach. All that points to is bigotry and irrationality.
Agreed. There are those on this board who see permanently removing children from their families as OK. From there, I'm having a hard time seeing satire, which is usually identifiably by statements of extremes.
