Hallelujah! It's about damn time. This decision is long overdue. This should make the left-wingers happy - no more “family separations”.
The change is a great proposal and would work well as a deterrent, but I don't think there is any chance in hell the Democrats will allow it. From the article: "Under the terms of the 1997 consent decree that eventually led to the 20-day limit in Flores, the regulation must be approved by Judge Dolly M. Gee of United States District Court for the Central District of California, who heard the original case. Gee, who was appointed by President Obama, denied the administration’s request last year to extend family detentions after a 2015 ruling that officials could not hold unaccompanied children in unlicensed facilities longer than 20 days." An activist Obama appointee ---- why would we think she'd change her tune now? I'm not overly optimistic. This is another example of the Trump administration having a good plan ---- which would ultimately benefit America, deter illegals from exploiting this current loophole, and would protect kids in the long run ---- but which will probably be fought tooth and nail by the Democrats, just to spite Trump.
It's going to take a lot of money to build the facilities to pull this off. That's money a Democratic Congress doesn't want to fund. They'd rather have the family separations.
Except a) nobody is making them come here, and b) nobody is preventing them from leaving to go back home.
Great! More taxpayer dollars being spent; how about not "interning" them at all. Just escort them all to the border and let them go?
As long as it's the Southern border of Guatemala or whatever country they came from. If it's the Southern border of the US, then they'll just be back tomorrow.
Yeah but once they do it's in a camp until... well indefinitely. Thy aren’t getting to leave. They are being held, indefinitely. If the person wants to leave and they let them then no, but saying they will hold them indefinitely doesn’t bring up good things in my eyes.
If they are being held indefinitely... idk. As long as the provision exists that they can leave any time then it’s better, but at face value, it sounds really bad.
I'm pretty sure that if they say they want to go back to the country they came from, our government would send them back home.
Except it's HOUSING not detention. DHS housing facilities are screening applicants not jailing them. They can leave voluntarily and wait it out in Mexico with complete freedom of movement. Fact is, what (D)'s portray as internment is access to food, clothing, shelter and health care. That's why applicants opt to remain in US DHS HOUSING facilities.
trump is all talk and no action. He should tell the judge to shove it because the President is in charge of immigration and not some judge.
Lol. Nothing but destroying america makes the left wing happy . They will kick scream and cry over this decision. Like clockwork.
