[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a crisis and it has been building for some time now.

Democrats are denying it because should they admit this to be true, public opinion may sway in Trump's direction toward building a border barrier.  They cannot have this. [/quote]

The only crisis is the one Trump created by separating families and creating conditions of mass rape of girls and young women by men of all stripes.[/quote]

Trump created? You are too dumb to know that you are a dumb.

What did Barack and other Presidents did for  years ?  Catched and released Or kept in jail as whole family?  [/quote]
Anyone?[/quote]

“What changed was the administration’s handling of these cases. Undocumented immigrant families seeking asylum previously were released and went into the civil court system, but now the parents are being detained and sent to criminal courts while their kids are resettled in the United States as though they were unaccompanied minors.”

“Katie Waldman, a spokeswoman for Nielsen, said the administration does not have a family-separation policy. But Waldman agreed that Trump officials are exercising their prosecutorial discretion to charge more illegal-entry offenses, which in turn causes more family separations. The Obama administration also separated immigrant families, she said.”

““During the Obama administration there was no policy in place that resulted in the systematic separation of families at the border, like we are now seeing under the Trump administration,” said Sarah Pierce, a policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute. “Our understanding is that generally parents were not prosecuted for illegal entry under President Obama. There may have been some separation if there was suspicion that the children were being trafficked or a claimed parent-child relationship did not actually exist. But nothing like the levels we are seeing today.””

There is a simple way for these parents to stop separations: do not enter the U.S. illegally.[/quote]
Bingo! This is not a difficult concept.[/quote]

Apparently it is, for you. [b]They are separating people who are coming here legally to seek asylum.[/b][/quote]

If they are truly seeking asylum, all who are not Mexican citizens can do that in Mexico. Hmmm... wonder why they don't do that.[/quote]

Many do. Some have family or other connections to the US which provides a potential support network. If your family was in distress and your option was Norway where you didn't know anyone, or Sweden where you had some 5th cousins, where would you go?[/quote]
