There I no immigrant problem on the Mexico border. There is a drug problem and human smuggling problems. 18-weelers of death!
Trump says if he had to be tough, or have a heart, he would choose tough . . . UNLESS POLITICS INTERVENE, THEN HE CHOOSES DECEIT. He chose to use kids as pawns in a legislative fight! He may have done irreparable harm to 2,000 kids.
FACT: Trump has no heart, so he had to choose to have a fake heart. In the end he had to chose a political solution that suited his needs, and stopped kidnapping kids. Trump is spineless. TRUMP IS UGLY!
A Bad man and many bad family members. The fruit of the tree . . . .
Witnessing the Trump family in my last years of life on earth is very sad to me. I have come to realize at 71, I am likely to see the destruction of American morality and values carried out by the Trump family in my last years.
"A Physician in South Texas on an Unnerving Encounter with an Eight-Year-Old Boy in Immigration Detention"
By Amanda Schaffer June 21, 2018
"the Trump Administration began to enforce a “zero tolerance” approach toward migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, a move that included separating parents from their children. (The President apparently revoked the policy on Wednesday.) The number of young children in detention facilities rose sharply. “The population I’ve been starting to see is younger, and it scares me,” Hart said. “These are little people, little babies. And they are ill-equipped to fend for themselves. They’re so totally traumatized. They don’t cry like normal kids. They don’t interact like normal kids.”Last week, on a day when Hart was on duty, the charge nurse called her over to examine a child who needed clearance for psychiatric treatment. He was eight years old, and he sat hunched in a recliner chair next to the nurses’ station. Four men, who had brought him from an unidentified holding facility for migrant children, hovered around him. Hart spoke with me by phone from her home, in South Texas, on Sunday night and again on Wednesday night, about her experience with the boy and her concerns for his future. Her account has been condensed and edited.
“The guardians didn’t step more than two feet away from the kid. One of the four was an armed police officer. I thought, Does it take an army of adult men to take care of one elementary schooler? I walked over to the boy, crouched down, and asked him, in Spanish, ‘How do you feel?’ ‘Sad,’ he said.
“The boy had been in custody for over a month. One of his guardians told me that he had been ‘acting out’ and threatening to harm himself, by jumping from his bed. This man told me, ‘I’m his clinician,’ but he was definitely not a doctor. I don’t know if he’s a social worker, a medical assistant, a housekeeper. I have no clue. But he obviously had been granted some sort of authority in regard to assessing children and determining what their needs are. He wouldn’t provide basic background. I couldn’t find out any information because he would say, ‘I’m not at liberty to tell you that’ and ‘You don’t need to know that,’ even though a lot of my questions were relevant to taking care of the child. I was asking things like ‘Where are his parents?’
“One of the men told me that the boy had crossed the border alone, but I didn’t know if I was getting the true story—if he had been separated from his mother and father before or after he entered the country. The man who called himself a clinician also told me that they knew where his parents were, and one of them was in the United States. I didn’t know if that meant in custody or not.
“What bothers me is, if you know where this parent is, why can we not contact them for consent? They aren’t even made aware if their child has an injury, if their child is having a breakdown. These are people who were desperate for a better life and crossed the border. Why are their parental rights being taken away?
“I asked the clinician, ‘When is this child going to be reunited with his parents?’ He was evasive. First it was ‘Oh, well, we don’t know.’ And then it was ‘Well, he won’t be reunited with his parents unless he behaves.’ The lack of compassion was scary, and it didn’t seem like there was really a plan."
I hate my government for not developing a system to take care of these immigrants kids who could be considered a part of a state terror plan in any third world country. I am sickened by this ugly scene repeating itself up to 2,335 times in the next many months because of dereliction of duty and a gaslighted [by Trump] fear of brown people.
"The Trump Administration’s Family Values"
The policy of separating children from their parents at the southern border was the purest distillation yet of what it means to be governed by a President with no moral center.
By Margaret Talbot 2 July 2018 ISSUE
All women that work with Trump are complicit, men too actually, of the destruction of any basic family values.
"he theatre of cruelty unfolding at the southern border last week was the purest distillation yet of what it means to be governed by a President with no moral center."
Trump and his Administration were using children as leverage to get legislation through Congress that hey wanted for The Wall, and for immigration controls that were not popular with Democrats.
Trump indicts himself with his own words, as always, gaslighting an immigrant crisis that is not a crisis, not even a threat to America. To buy into his bull shit you have to believe immigrants are invading America in higher numbers than ever. Not true. More were coming in the Reagan years. To buy Trump's bull shit you have to believe immigrants commit more crime than native citizens, and that is also NOT TRUE! TRUMP IS A BALD FACE LIAR OF IMMENSE PROPORTIONS! HIS LIES ARE "UUUGE!"
"President Trump insisted that only an act of Congress could stop the separations, and that the Democrats were to blame. The Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, claimed that separating parents and children was not a policy—she was simply following the law. All of this was false, as became obvious on Wednesday, when Trump signed an executive order revoking the policy that he’d said he could do nothing about and that Nielsen said didn’t exist. It would be nice to attribute this change of plans to a genuine change of conscience, but, in signing the order, Trump was transparently angry at being compelled to do so. He said, “If you’re really, really pathetically weak, the country is going to be overrun with millions of people, and if you’re strong then you don’t have any heart. That’s a tough dilemma. Perhaps I’d rather be strong.”"
My God, how much Trump bull shit can America swallow?
"The Administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama also experimented with keeping families together when incarcerating migrants and asylum seekers. It did not go well. The largest family facility, a former state prison in Taylor, Texas, was run by a private-prison company, Corrections Corporation of America, under a $2.8-million-a-month contract with the federal government. (The detention of immigrants has been a boon to the for-profit prison industry.) "
Billions for detention camps.
