Re: Trump
So let me get this straight.....
A person (any person) who commits a crime (illegal immigration is still a crime) can't go to jail and be separated from their kids ?
My guess is that there are loads of prisons in the states where one or both of the parents are "separated" from their kids after being put in jail either on remand or being granted no bail. Then sentenced.
Besides, when you apply for "asylum" or that, isn't the first country of entry the place where you apply ? Or doesn't that qualify for Mexico.
I would guess that if I were to enter mexico illegally and get caught I would go to jail, directly to jail and not pass go.
‐ If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam, and prove they can provide their own health care.
‐ Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal-alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim).
‐ Law-enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal-alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration-enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens’ arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities.

Re: Trump
Naff all to do with that TTS...
I had to apply legally to come to the States, pay an immigration lawyer and prove that I wasn't taking a job away from an American. Plus have chest x rays and prove that I didn't have TB.
I and many many others. Why do people who break the law (illegal immigration is..well illegal) get to jump queues and then complain when they are taken into custody ? As I stated earlier, if an American (or legal immigrant) commits a crime and is incarcerated, they get separated from their families. Why is there no outcry from elected officials about the "unfair" practice of separating families guilty of these crimes ?
It also seems that Mexico has ignored it's own immigration policies and not stopped these immigrants earlier.
How closely must they police their own southern borders to allow thousands upon thousands of immigrants to traverse Mexico and arrive at the U.S. border ?
I have published to requirements of immigrants to Mexico above. Not dissimilar I would imagine to those of the U.K. when coming into the country...
I found this:
What you need to check for
You must check for evidence of:
• adverse behaviour (using deception, false representation, fraud, forgery, nondisclosure
of material facts or failure to cooperate)
• non conduciveness, adverse character, conduct or associations (criminal history,
deportation order, travel ban, exclusion, non-conducive to public good, a threat to
national security)
• adverse immigration history (overstaying, breaching conditions, illegal entrant,
using deception in an application)
• adverse health (medical reasons)
• NHS or litigation debt
So it would seem that it is also illegal to enter the country "illegally" in the U.K. and is grounds for refusal to stay.
How is that any different from what is happening here ????
I am at a total loss on the double standards applied...

Re: Trump
The problem is the 'blame Trump' media ....
The immigration department is just following the law, as indeed they have done since the Chinese Act of 1882 and the Alien Contract of 1885 the Immigration Act of 1990 and the post 9/11 Homeland Security Act of 2002 are the current legislative documents ... just a bit before Trump then ...
The law is very clear, anybody attempting to enter the US illegally will be arrested, detained, and if found guilty returned to their starting country ... all of course subject to ambulance chasing appeals, human rights, hand-ringing lefties, etc. etc ...
However under the law LIKE ANY OTHER DETAINED SUSPECT
adults will be detained in correctional facilities, accompanying minors will be held independently under government supervision until a decision is made on the adults case .... that's the feckin' law .....
Now Trump may be a tool, but beating him up for following the law? ... that's about as smart as a stump ... pretty typical media bias ...
If you don't like it change the law, vote for a President who didn't stand on an anti-immigration platform.
You voted for him, surprising for a politician, but he's now doing exactly what he said he would do, and anyway it's not him separating families it's what the law requires ...
Why not give them all hotel accommodation, a council house, free cash ... oh wait a minute that's the UK system ....

Nope ... if you are detained under US law (for whatever reason) then any accompanying children are either released to family members, or held as wards of the state ... that forms part of due process ...bitter-iron-ny wrote:I believe the crime they're committing is a misdemeanor

I admit 'felon' is the wrong term 'suspect' would be more accurate ...
Immigration is tricky, if you don't detain suspects they disappear, some 6m have done just that in the last decade .... but if you do detain them you end up splitting families ....
Creating 'camps' as horrible as that sounds, may well be the best solution, at least it will keep families together ... or maybe building a feckin' great wall as a certain nut-job wants to do ....
Difficult problem requires creative solutions not just blaming the elected leadership .... makes for great click-bait headlines but in the end solves nothing ....

This is a poorly conceived attempt by Team Trump to do politics. To force funding for the border wall (the one Mexico was going to pay for) to be included in this year's spending bills. To achieve this we are going to out-terrorize the Central American cartels these people are fleeing from. It's an amateurish and stupid strategy that is failing miserably.

I'm not advocating for Trump, just pointing out the facts .... Trump campaigned on tightening up border security, no surprise then that he is ... but it's not new it's been the law for years ...
FYI the numbers in 2010 were over 800,000 .... don't remember the 'Team Obama' outrage then .....

Re: Trump
The difference is what happens after apprehension.
Is there some other nonsense you want to blame on the media bogeyman? More than a little ironic that you rely on a manufactured spin from a particular echo chamber rather than acknowledging facts. Maybe take a few minutes to go back and read what was linked in my prior post.

Re: Trump
What facts? ... nobody is denying that Obama failed to uphold the law (fact accepted in your own referenced articles) this led to a large increase in children arriving at the border ... call me a cynic but when you know that if you turn up with children at the US border then you will get a free pass "Obama's administration generally refrained from prosecution in cases involving adults who crossed the border with their kids" then as an illegal immigrant that's exactly what you will do .... look up 'border crossing kids for hire' to see how that works ...bitter-iron-ny wrote:The difference is what happens after apprehension.

Trump campaigned on enforcing THE EXISTING law and not ignoring it ...
The government in 2014, amid an influx of asylum seekers from Central America, established large family detention centers to hold parents and children — potentially indefinitely ... this policy was deemed illegal in 2016 so family separation returned .... again these are facts from your own referenced articles ... once the camp policy failed Obama basically gave up and left it for the incoming president ...
This is not a law of Trump's making it's just the law ... if you are arrested and detained for any crime then 99% of the time you are separated from your children ... crossing the border illegally is an arrestable offence ... the law isn't aimed only at immigrants it's just the law ... Obama first enforced it, then lost in court, then just ignored it ... Trump campaigned on enforcing it and now he is ... those are the facts not some faux outrage about 'ripping kids from mothers' it's just following the law ...
Change the law don't blame the people enforcing it .... it's obviously not right to break up families, so don't bring your kids to the border ... that's the message being sent it's not that hard to grasp ...
I would bring back the Obama camps and keep families together, but that requires congress approval so it won't happen any time soon ...
While you're at it are there any other laws you think should be ignored? or is it only the ones that make crazy politicians (and Trump is barkin') look bad?

The USA has left the UN human rights declaration. This will be made a lot out of it, but is it worth anything as ow many of the following countries that are signed up follow it.

Re: Trump
You've got to worry about a country that thinks it's perfectly okay to take small children away from their parents and keep them locked in cages, regardless of the crimes of their parents.
Re: Trump
Surely Trump is just doing what he was elected for, tightening rules, regulation and security up, it's what the people voted for and what he is doing, surely it's refreshing to a see a politician actually do what their election campaign promised. The main people bleating to me are the left wing and Clinton supporters who still can't believe they lost and that Trump won and is still 18 months later still president. The liberals had their way of doing it the last 18 out of 27 years and people obviously want something different.

Enforce the law, fine. But surely there are better ways of doing it than this aren't there?
Jesus, I just think of my 9 month old-son looking around a room full of screaming kids desperately trying to pick out his Mum and Dad. If that's the only way to 'tighten rules and regulations' then I'm disappointed.

Seeking protection, from another state than the one you are citizen of, is not a crime.
It is possible to detain a family. Chosing not to keep a family united is a pure political choice. A choice that can cause a lifelong trauma.
It isn't rocket science.
