Trump admin to end separation policy

Actually I clicked on the source document in your link (where do you guys find these sites?) and I read the following about the protagonist:

So it appears he came here ILLEGALLY as opposed to LEGALLY

As to the question you posed with the left leaning fabrication removed (do you work for Time?):

I have said all along I am against separating family that attempt to come here LEGALLY. I'm just of the opinion that I do not want to reward ILLEGAL behavior, at the cost of those trying to do it LEGALLY.

As to the rest of your post: Good interpretation, if you would have just left out (hey I gotta a new pun) the obvious biased conclusions.

Wow, sorry. THAT link used ONE example of someone who entered ILLEGALLY seeking asylum and was separated from his daughter and, like many others cruelly forced to choose between reuniting with her and giving up asylum.

Here is an example of a Congolese mother who did enter LEGALLY and found herself quickly separated from her daughter who, so far as I know, is still somewhere in limbo in our new child Gulag. WAPO has posted her asylum suit.

But there are many others as well. Here are five more examples of parents who LEGALLY applied for asylum and were separated from their children. https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/blog/asylum-seeking-families-too-are-being-separated

So my cap lock is still ON  regarding the ILLEGALITY and CRUELTY of this separation policy.


My question was not simply about separating children from parents, which you may be okay with if parents arrive ILLEGALLY.

My question was about the practice of separating asylum seekers--LEGAL OR ILLEGAL--from their children, and then forcing them to choose between reuniting with their children and dropping their petition for asylum--or not reuniting.

"Leftist" organizations like Lutheran, Methodist, Ba'hai and Catholic churches, not to mention Ba'hai and Synagogues, are publicly protesting this traumatic abuse of children for political purposes.

"Left leaning" now appears code for "ethical" behavior, in contrast to the rightist commentators/politicians, who  are never fooled by images of suffering children and speak of child actors coached to speak "liberal" to reporters. For them, its about biased "leftists" making Trump look bad for enforcing the rule of policy law and the parents are to blame.

Sessions says immigrant children are used to "smuggle drugs." No sympathy there.

And of course, right wing news forums are busy with rightist posters echoing these claims about children "coached by commie traitors" who should all be sent back. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/25/donald-trump-send-illegal-immigrant-children-back-to-their-home-countries/
