https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/poli ... 728060002/
Still apples (Trump admin operated for several months with a policy of separating families) and oranges (as the fact checking articles state we have no idea how many families were separated under previous administrations and their policies).
Separation wasn't a Trump policy. It was a consequence of the zero tolerance policy.
So family separations were an unintended consequence of the zero tolerance policy?
I don't know.

You realise ofcourse there are documents stating they’re using family separation as a deterrent.

A fact it’s been mentioned a few times in this thread.

It’s not a consequence, it’s a conscious decision by Trump administration.

So they knew zero tolerance might result in separation. Wow. It is a consequence. They can't just separate. They have to have a prior criminal proceeding.

The 14 day / 30 day decisions re rejoining families seem set up to failure. Many kids were sent alone or with coyotes so you would need to "prove" everyone is who they say they are. DNA testing for any undocumented refugees would be a minimum requirement. Its in these shitty situations around the world that many kids have gone missing or ended up in trafficking rings.

Nice try but no cigar.

You know that Trump's introduction of zero tolerance this year caused a predictable explosion in the number of children separated from their parents, the parents now all facing indictment and deportation and who gives a fudge if they end up being deported without their children. This was never an Obama policy.

Before you get all snarky again, let me say that I am fully aware Obama was an aggressive proponent of deportation, which Trump obviously does not know.

The key is in the first paragraph.
New Report Is Based on Thousands of Government Documents Obtained Through the Freedom of Information Act That Detail Horrific Stories
May 22, 2018

WASHINGTON — Documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union featured in a new report released today show the pervasive abuse and neglect of unaccompanied immigrant children detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The report was produced in conjunction with the International Human Rights Clinic at the University of Chicago Law School.
This was a response, clearly a pretty f**ked up response, to UNACCOMPANIED immigrant children entering the country. It is not the same as what is happening right now but you obviously will not admit that. You're like Mog with one of his bones.

Well whether you agree with the ICE stuff or not, worryingly for the Dems it appears that the general public largely agree with the Donald.

In addition to a double digit increase in support for the President among Latinos a recent Harris poll found the following (c&p from elsewhere)

http://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content ... e_Memo.pdf

70% want stricter enforcement of immigration laws
63% agree with Trump's DACA compromise
73% agree with Trump's reversal of his separation policy
61% agree with Trump that our border security is "inadequate"
84% side with Trump against sanctuary city policies blocking notification of ICE
76% are against the idea of "open borders," and 69% are against the notion of disbanding ICE
64% believe those who cross illegally should be sent home, and 61% said even those with children should be sent home
55% want to hold illegal immigrants in custody (as opposed to 45% who agree with the Democrats' "catch and release" policy)
53% say illegal crossing families with children should be held (47% said they should be released)
88% believe parents and children should be held together
48% said illegal immigration reduces wages to workers (42% said it has no effect; just 10% said it increases wages)
38% said immigration was the most important issue facing the country (the highest percentage of any issue)

The Dems are banging the drum hard on this, it doesn’t look like a winning issue.

Where’s the percentage who think families should be separated?

I notice 73% agree with his reversal.

73% of people also agree that milk should not be spilled.

The rest think spilled milk is a sign of white superiority.

Rather my view was that the media, and many politicians, are hypocritical to attack Trump when the previous guys were doing much the same.

Further, the hypocrisy of the Democrats is accentuated insofar as they clearly have no intention of resolving the immigration issues through the legislative branch, they appear to believe that it helps them politically.

Mass deportation of illegal immigrants as families and of unaccompanied minors.

Zero-tolerance for asylum seekers not crossing at legal points and deportation of the adults after separating the children and not attempting to reunite before the parents are deported.

That's what I find so amusing about American politics. Both sides are accusing each other of not fixing problems because it gives them a platform to beat the other with.

They say Republicans can't / won't reform immigration, because they need MS13 and Muslim immigrant threats to fire up and mobilise their base.

And here you say the Democrats don't want to reform immigration policy because what? They benefit from Republicans picking on minorities? That's an interesting point of view I hadn't encountered before.

He sued the paper unsuccessfully a few years back. Pre-Trump...but a literal attack on the media will no doubt have people jumping to that conclusion. If there's a picture of him with a MAGA hat on him then it will certainly look like that, but the seed was sown beforehand.

I’m not saying that the Republicans are above playing politics, they clearly do it. However, on this issue they are clearly trying to legislate. It is plain as day that the Dems don’t want to play, Schumer has made it quite clear.

The cynical view is that Democrats don’t want to fix immigration because a) they get to make the GOP look like the nasty oarty and b) illegals vote overwhelmingly for the Dems.

A core of Republicans also don’t want to fix it because business likes the cheap labour.
