There are well over 2,000 of these kids now. And this is our most valued "friend" doing this. At what point do we start demanding our government speak out against this?The New Yorker wrote:No protocols have been put in place for keeping track of parents and children concurrently, for keeping parents and children in contact with each other while they are separated, or for eventually reuniting them.

Migrant Child Seperation
How is this happening in the supposed "free world"? Migrant children ripped from their families and being put into detention camps. In at least one case (probably more) a mother was deported without her son. And there isn't even a plan to return all these kids to their parents.

Shameful - what's next, a Final Solution ?
Re: Migrant Child Seperation
Awful the way kids get exploited like that but let us not forget the reverse which also makes life difficult for those trying to control migration. This way seems barking to me. Separating a mother from her 8 year old child and then deporting mum back to Guatemala seems perverse and I think this is what IT is referring to. Was on Newsnight yesterday.

If the Yanks want to keep them all under lock and key then at least do it in family units. Then if and when they get deported it is done in a more humane manner.

Re: Migrant Child Seperation
Holding economic migrants in camps is bad enough (but I understand there has to be somewhere for them to go if they cross the border illegally) but you have to be a bit of a sadist to think separating parents from their kids is anything other than a really bad idea.
Its a **** poor image of the US put it that way, but if you elect Donald Trump and don't put enough checks on what he can do, then this is what you get. Oh, and it will get worse.

Re: Migrant Child Seperation
The right wing media in the USA calling these kids child actors and saying the camps are more like "summer camps".
This really is Nazism in a different disguise.

A country where most of the population are descended from Immigrants, like Australia seem to have equally shameful way of dealing with modern day immigrants.

Be interesting to see if the Trump love in amongst the likes of Farage and certain Tories is toned down a bit as its pretty clear this is not a popular policy over here.

Re: Migrant Child Seperation
It doesn't matter if i spend time proving you wrong, does it? It doesn't matter if I point out that those photos he shows quite clearly show adults and children together. You're still going to deny it all because that's what alt-righters trolls do. They lie and present lies as facts and when its shown to be lies they laugh.
He's right that Congress could pass a law stopping this, be he's ignoring the fact that Trump chose to start doing this. He doesn't want you knowing that. Why do you think he didn't even mention that Trump could single handedly stop this by reversing his own policy?

Re: Migrant Child Seperation
I can not justify the separation of families from their children but at present Trump and his attorney general who has applied the ruling has made it clear this is what will happen if you try to enter the US illegally rather than applying for asylum at one of the many places of entry so say next week a family try to enter illegally and they then get separated a large part of the blame should go on the family.
However the US with all their riches should be reorganising their Economic policy to try to develop the countries of origin.

Re: Migrant Child Seperation
Its OK. The attorney General,Jeff Sessions, has taken a quote out of the bible to justify the forced seperation of children from parents. So that makes it all right now.
The orange dick and his cohorts are using this as leverage to get the democrats to fund the wall,the same wall the Mexicans were going to pay for. Sessions used the same quote that was used to justify slavery back in the day. As for always comparing the actions of these wan kers to nazi's, if the cap fits....

Instead, Trump's lying yet again and claiming it is a law that Democrats can reverse. It is neither a law, and even if is was it isn't anything Democrats can reverse since they're the minority party in both chambers of Congress.

Re: Migrant Child Seperation
They've committed a misdemeanour. They've never been treated as criminals before. It wasn't even controversial that they hadn't been treated as criminals before. This is a deliberate policy enacted by the current administration. Trump is doing this deliberately. Why?
