I've heard enough! Give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize NOW!!!
people who come to the US and apply for asylum are not illegal immigrants. If you say otherwise, you are lying.
No. Those who are using the "common and accepted method" of applying at a port of entry are not having their children taken away from them.The US is taking families that are asking for asylum in the common and accepted method of doing so and are, without reason other than cruelty, taking babies and children away from their parents who had the temerity to ask one of the historically most kind nations in the world for kindness.
Why would it get old of true, a leopard never loses it spots.
"You're all just a bunch of mad racists!"
Bigotry to point out bigotry. Never gets old.

No thanks. I’m not a homosexual & I don’t go to gay barsDo need a job? Our other employees could have fun with a guy like you.
You generalize entire factions of people because you believe they generalize people.Why would it get old of true, a leopard never loses it spots.
There are two kinds of asylum seekers: those who apply at a port of entry and those who apply after being apprehended for improper entry (misdemeanor) or illegal re-entry (felony).
So, many asylum seekers are lawbreakers.
Sure about that?No. Those who are using the "common and accepted method" of applying at a port of entry are not having their children taken away from them.
Yes, I'm sure. The woman from your link crossed the border illegally and was apprehended by CBP. She did not apply for asylum at a port of entry. She then tried to claim asylum but the government did not find her claim credible.Sure about that?

The basis for asylum is not "did they go through a port of entry." Lack of credibility can be a basis for denying asylum, but that also does not hinge on method of entry.Yes, I'm sure.

Could you re-word this? Did you mean "the basis for denying asylum"?The basis for asylum is not "did they go through a port of entry."

Is the administration separating asylum-seeking families who enter at ports of entry?
Yes, despite claims to the contrary. On June 17, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen took to Twitter to defend family separation, saying, “For those seeking asylum at ports of entry, we have continued the policy from previous administrations and will only separate if the child is in danger, there is no custodial relationship between 'family' members, or if the adult has broken a law.”
In case Secretary Nielsen forgot, she’s currently a defendant in our class action lawsuit, where we represent families who entered at ports of entry to seek asylum and had their children taken away.
Ms. L, a Congolese mother who sought asylum at a port of entry, had her seven-year-old daughter taken away from her for four months. Immigration authorities made no meaningful attempt to verify their relationship during that time, only doing so after we filed our lawsuit.
Mirian G, a mother from Honduras, came to the U.S. with her young son on Feb. 20, 2018. She presented herself to immigration authorities and sought asylum, committing no crime. During her interview, Mirian provided immigration officers with several identification documents for her child which listed her as his mother. The next morning, Border Patrol agents took away her 18-month-old son with no explanation. She did not see him again for two months.
What would you have the US do for illegals who show up at the border with kids?
Is anyone going to answer this question or just run about with tears in their eyes? I mean, by all means, be outraged but your outrage should imply that there are viable options for dealing with children being brought to the border by adults. You should be able to tell me some of those options.
@anyone
Uh you do know the ACA took a little over a year to come to fruition, right? As in, it was signed in march and the election was in November? The Democrats were dedicated to bipartisanship, there's no freaking way the Democrats were going to get immigration reform out of the GOP in 8 months. Come on now.
You can't say the GOP had no input on the ACA and then ding the Democrats for not steamrolling the GOP into immigration reform. Doesn't make any sense at all.
Trump just said he'll sign an executive order to stop the kids from being separated from their parents.
What do you right wingers who supported the child camps now think?
No one supported child campsTrump just said he'll sign an executive order to stop the kids from being separated from their parents.

It was enforcing the law that the 9th circuit ruled on and since the Democrats won’t work the GOP and do what they suppose to do and give the executive branch more power even though Trump is literally Hitler lol. I think it’s the right move, Trump’s pen shouldn’t be though what are all these worthless elected officials doing ? But hey you want Trump to look like a king and use hide power so be it. People don’t say nothing when he uses the pen for other laws and cry foul.
