Migrant Children Holding Facilities Reopen

[Kooky]

I'm glad that so many conservatives on this forum are starting to become opposed to these horrific camps.

 

[Kooky]

The children are being seperated from the parents by the parents.
This is what you get with a dufus mandating border security.
Report: 117% increase in children 12 and younger crossing border alone
Please explain what is to be done with those children.
Got an idea.......have all of those that see dufus's border policy as right take them in.
How many do you plan to personlly support (out of your pocket, not with our tax money)

I'm confused by this post. Are you supporting or opposing the US government detaining migrants in camps?

I still wonder if the children separated from their parents in the last four years will ever see them again.

I hope so. At least in cases of actual families and not rented children although the latter is a colossal tragedy in itself as well.

Look at who's in charge that caused this to be reported.

Yes, a Democrat, but you should look at what the right is reporting as opposed to what is actually going on. The OP had one fairly decent source that he listed. The Hill is right leaning but it is very accurate in its reporting. Though do not make an equivalence to what Trump did, they only acknowledged that the right is making this claim.

What knowledge do you have of the current legal laws concerning unaccompanied minor illegal immigrants.

Simple they are illegal alians, not immigrants.

I am supporting the detainment of anyone crossing into this country without legal documentation.

What makes them illegal aliens?

What makes them illegal aliens?

Simple....they do not have immigrant visa's issued by the State Dept, nor work permits; hence they are in the US illegally.

Okay, so what do you want to do about that?

So you actually disagree with the critical voices you linked to in your opening post?

Hmmm, I guess "kids-in-cages" when Trump was president is different when the Biden administration reopens the same facilities. Then again maybe words make a difference.

"Illegal immigrant" is not used legally in this country to refer to those seeking refuge because we do have legal provisions for refugee status per our federal law and also international law.

 

[Kooky]

Is it even illegal to travel to the US without papers? I'm wondering if Canadian tourists or border-crossing commuters are being detained routinely in specialized camps for failing to provide proper documentation.

 

[esmith]

Okay, so what do you want to do about that?

send them to live with all you liberals.

NO. What I disagee with is the media giving the Biden administration a pass.

You have to have documentation to enter this country legally, even if you are an U.S. citizen.
But I forgive you for not understanding the law.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

You can't do that, because you are not legally permitted to do that.

 

[Kooky]

NO. What I disagee with is the media giving the Biden administration a pass.

You linked a score of media sites in your opening post that aren't "giving the Biden administration a pass", including one piece quoting a very prominent figure on the political left (AOC).

That said, why would you have a problem with Biden being given a pass here?
You said above that you support putting children in detention camps if they're "without legal documents".

Did you misspeak there? Or were you talking about something entirely different than in your opening post to this thread?

 

[Kooky]

So how many Canadians are, on average, being put in detention camps every year in the US?

I tend to give kids a pass on that one. They don't have a choice in the matter. I might not use iillegal but I'd say displaced might be a better term for the kids. Adults of course need to be called for what it is. Illegal.

Adults can be displaced. In fact that's what refugees can also be called - "displaced persons".

Do you not believe that adults can find themselves in situations where they are forced to act in certain ways?
