Parents who abandon their children to the care of the the US taxpayer are the ones making that decision. Nobody forced parents to enter the US illegally and no one is going to force them to leave their kids behind. That’s their decision. You can foster as many as you’d like though. Or don’t you care about children once they are born? |
Whomever posted that is a moron. You know you don’t have to engage with morons, right? Then again, I’m engaging with you, so…. |
Quite a few are left behind. More than the number being deported. Is it a sad situation? Sure. But not every sad situation is for the government to resolve. The parents are fully aware of this dilemma before procreating and they do it anyway. Whose problem is it? Theirs. |
And then we have to pay for that. For millions of people? |
“Exactly nobody is defending illegal immigration on here. The debate is what to do about it. Some people want posse comitstus suspended and shock troops grabbing everyone with an accent. Some people find that problematic.“ Citation? |
If only we had a strong leader who would suspend human rights and imprison anyone he wanted without due process. If only we had a leader who would dismantle the judiciary and bend it to his will. If only we had a leader who declared a state of emergency, suspended constitutional rights, arrested tens of thousands of people--many without proof--and committed widespread human rights violations, including arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, and torture. One can dream.... /s |
“Jewish organizations see parallels and are alarmed. “Three Jewish organizations dealing with immigration and community relations said they were alarmed by the Republican Party’s plans to launch mass deportations, saying the policy is steeped in a racist conspiracy theory that at times has veered into antisemitism.” A manifesto on replacement theory’: GOP mass deportation plan alarms Jewish groups https://www.timesofisrael...roups/amp/“ |
You don’t know me or what I do for the most vulnerable children in society everyday as my job. (A lot, BTW). And because IT’S COMPLICATED, yes, it’s the parents decision. But, innocent kids pay the price. And their parents are gone, so you can’t punish them. And if you don’t care about the kids, care about what happens to our society when the huge influx of kids that our foster care system is in no way equipped to deal with grow up. Even the best intentioned actions can have negative downstream consequences. And yes, it was the parents decision. But we all suffer if we get a generation of traumatized kids who grow up and aren’t able to be productive members of society. And kids in foster care? Just terrible outcomes, incarceration rates, no education. Is that a better outcome than letting parents who aren’t criminals and rapists stay and raise their kids ina stable household? You are so glib, but these are actually very complex issues. And yes, incentivizing people to have anchor babies and stay is bad. The question is, is having tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of more traumatized kids go through foster care better or worse? I don’t know the answer to this. And you should either until you consider the real world downstream consequences. |
Except if a child is left behind, it is by a definition a problem the government has to solve. Why do you think DCFS exists? Or are you letting a 4 year old wander around with not adult responsible for them? Because, spoiler alert, that ends really badly for everyone. |

The illegal immigrants who are abandoning their children in the US are causing this problem. They made choices they are forcing their innocent children to live with. Quit blaming the American taxpayer for this problem. We don’t create it- we have to live with it and pay for it, though. That’s why it needs to stop. I am amazed how illegal immigrants break the law, the government is complicit, and the American taxpayer is blamed. It’s not our fault. Blame the people causing this massive problem. |
I have been trying to understand why El Salvador continues to have Temporary Protective Status (TPS) under the USCIS. It makes no sense and it has been extended. Basically the US government has given automatic green card status to El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua once they touch USA soil. Why? |
Spoiler alert: the parents are letting their 4 year old wander around with no responsible adult caring for them. How is pp causing that situation? |
The government has already made its position on the matter known: it is better to have traumatized kids in the system than to let undocumented parents of a US born child stay in violation of current immigration laws. This is the position of the US government because having a minor US born child is not a bar to deportation. I mean I don't see you arguing that incarceration sentences for convicted criminals ought to be canceled if they have minor children (because children of criminals do end up in the foster system). Yes it is very sad to separate children from parents; however, there are decisions parents make that put them onto this path. You really cannot cry wolf after the fact because these laws are not a surprise to anyone. |
I mean say what you want about Russian birth tourism, but at least these ladies reliably leave after having their baby in Miami or wherever it is that they usually go. |
