Let’s stop that too. Immediately. At least two companies cater to wealthy russian and chinese families who want their children to be born in the US and qualify for citizenship. What is the upside for the American taxpayer and American citizen in these situations? Why is it in our best interests to allow this to continue to happen? |
The PP you're responding to apparently hasn't read up on the Australian asylum detention center on Nauru. It only housed several hundred (not the millions MAGA is talking about) and all sorts of bad things happened like suicides, mental breakdown, sexual abuse of women and young girls, etc. I heard a podcast about the conditions there years ago and was horrified. It also costs the Australian government hundreds of millions of dollars to run and keep open. It's also noteworthy that the Australian government had to pass legislation to prevent journalists and whistle blowers from reporting on the conditions at the detention center. The Nuaru detention center is not something Americans should emulate. Not as long as we are still a democracy. There are many articles about the terrible conditions on Nauru. Just try googling "Nauru Regional Processing Centre" and you will find a lot of damning information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru_Regional_Processing_Centre Almost 90% of children brought from Nauru suffered physical health problems https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/22/almost-90-of-children-brought-from-nauru-suffered-physical-health-problem-study#:~:text=The%20deleterious%20impact%20of%20conditions,was%20in%20“crisis”%20and%20amongst Nauru offshore processing to cost Australian taxpayers $485m despite only 22 asylum seekers remaining https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/may/23/nauru-offshore-detention-immigration-processing-to-cost-australia-485m-22-asylum-seekers |
Do you think the current 200 ICE/CBP detention sites are any different? Why do parents put their children in such facilities? That’s the better life they want for their children? How? |
Yes, FDR did that, mostly at the behest of white farmers who were jealous of the success that Japanese American farmers were having. Let's recap: MAGA want to execute a mass deportation. How will that be achieved? They will do a massive sweep, and when they ask "show me your papers" many Americans won't have papers on them, so they will be tossed in with illegal immigrants. There is historical precedent of mass deportation, under Eisenhower (R). https://www.history.com/news/operation-wetback-eisenhower-1954-deportation |
Hundreds of migrants leave southern Mexico on foot in a new caravan headed for the US border
CIUDAD HIDALGO, México (AP) — Hundreds of migrants from around a dozen countries left from Mexico’s southern border on foot Sunday, as they attempt to make it to the U.S. border. Some of the members of the group said they hoped to make it to the U.S. border before elections are held in November, because they fear that if Donald Trump wins, he will follow through on a promise to close the border to asylum-seekers. “We are running the risk that permits (to cross the border) might be blocked,” said Miguel Salazar, a migrant from El Salvador. He feared that a new Trump administration might stop granting appointments to migrants through CBP One, an app used by asylum-seekers to enter the U.S. legally — by getting appointments at U.S. border posts, where they make their cases to officials. The app only works once migrants reach Mexico City, or states in northern Mexico. https://apnews.com/article/mexico-migrants-us-border-ff6ec67feee12c38e3bcdc1cd34af90f https://www.cbp.gov/about/mobile-apps-directory/cbpone What is the CBP One™ mobile application? On October 28, 2020, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched the FREE CBP One™ mobile application on the Apple App and Google Play stores. CBP One™ is a mobile application that serves as a single portal to a variety of CBP services. Through a series of guided questions, the app directs each type of user to the appropriate services based on their needs. As part of CBP’s comprehensive effort to improve the security of our nation’s borders while enhancing legitimate travel and trade, CBP One™ provides increased accessibility and transparency to some of CBP’s most utilized services. So illegal immigrants fleeing starvation can download an app on their iphone and apply for asylum. |
I’m not blaming the American taxpayer. Yes, it’s the fault of someone who now may or may not be alive in Honduras. But, once you deport them, you can’t hold them responsible any more. What— you going to Honduras to collect child support from someone making $3 a day? But reality is, these are US citizens and you can’t deport them. We do have a problem. And it needs a solution. I’m open to ideas. Legally, constitutional ones and not the “just deport them too,” which is illegal and unconstitutional. No one ever solved a problem by pointing fingers. Now that we have placed the blame on the parents, against whom we lost any hope of recourse when we deported them, what’s your solution? Not whose fault is it. That’s easy. It’s the parents fault. You refuse to answer the hard part— now what? How do we solve it? And you refuse to answer because all the so,unions suck. And no one likes to champion a bad solution. But if you have a good, legal, constitutional solution, I’d be interested to hear it. But “so blame the parents” is not a solution. |
The kids get fed and maybe some education are in much less danger of being killed. ICE is bad. Parents risk it because their current situation is worse. |
Reading this thread. Deploying the military on US soil for mass deportation requires the suspension of posse comitatus. You don’t under stand that or why it’s a problem, do you? |
Okay. Let’s say I 100% blame the parents. Entirely their fault. I absolutely agree with you. Identifying the problem is easy. Now that the blame game is done—- WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? |
Again— even if the parents are 100% to blame, they’ve been deported. They are gone. And, you still have a 4 year old wandering around with no responsible adult. Do what do you do about it? Not whose fault is it. Blaming others is easy. How do you solve it. |
So hundreds of migrants are going to walk the length of Mexico so they can take low-paying jobs that no American wants? Not seeing a problem here. In fact, I think you'd *want* that kind of person coming here. |
During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten concentration camps operated by the War Relocation Authority (WRA), mostly in the western interior of the country. Approximately two-thirds of the detainees were United States citizens. These actions were initiated by Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, following Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Guam, the Philippines, and Wake Island in December 1941. FDR was a democrat. Anyway it didn’t happen during Covid There are certain cases of racism where Asians are blamed for Covid, they are standalone. The whole end Asian hate campaign was short lived because there wasn’t mass Asian hate. |
Foster care. Exactly how you solve it for children with incarcerated parents. |
Op is wrong. We have more of them than Israel has citizens. The embryos are no help either. |
I actually support the right to abortion, and think free contraception should be USmailed to every female over 13 or so. If that’s too much money then at least families below certain income, like free lunches at schools. And yes birthright citizenship clearly isnt working. No one wants to touch it but that’s another story. |
