Immigration Ban


Recommended Posts

I think hes using it as a tool also. He'll be able to convince lots of people that  he did what he said he would, and single handedly  "fixed" immigration", Like most of his claimed successes he really didn't do anything though. Once again he's Full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Not surprised....anything to spread a false narrative

 

 

 

what is the false narrative?   the picture of this little girl and her story may not be true....but the government separating families was a strategy employed by this administration to try to deter immigration.   maybe a bad choice of pictures...but hardly a false narrative on the bigger story

Yes false narrative making it look like Trump was the ONLY president doing this. Obama did this very thing as well and there’s photos to prove that children under Obama’s watch were also separated from their families.

Obama was trowing pebbles at his girlfriend's window to try and wake her up.  Trump threw a brick through the front picture window.

 

Yes, other Presidents have overseen children separated from the adults in cases of drug trafficking, possible child trafficking, or other situation when the child may be in immediate danger.  Trump used those laws to accuse every single adult of a crime to be able to separate.  Sessions and Trump didn't hide this fact.  They were proud of it.

 

Then when the Catholic church and about every other denomination on the globe calls it bad policy, even Donald said it was a shame.  Trump himself agrees to "end it" with an Executive Order.  He didn't change the law with this, he changed how his administration would enforce the law.  

 

If Obama was doing this the same as Trump, FoxNews and conservative media really missed the boat!  Or maybe they actually don't care.

So let's fact check that claim: https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/did-the-obama-administration-separate-families/

Quote

 

In defending its “zero tolerance” border policy that has caused the separation of families, the Trump administration has argued that the Obama and Bush administrations did this too. That’s misleading. Experts say there were some separations under previous administrations, but no blanket policy to prosecute parents and, therefore, separate them from their children.

 

“Bush and Obama did not have policies that resulted in the mass separation of parents and children like we’re seeing under the current administration,” Sarah Pierce, a policy analyst with the Migration Policy Institute, told us.

 

...

 

MPI’s Pierce said that the likely reason data aren’t available on child separations under previous administrations is because it was done in “really limited circumstances” such as suspicion of trafficking or other fraud.

 

“Previous administrations used family detention facilities, allowing the whole family to stay together while awaiting their deportation case in immigration court, or alternatives to detention, which required families to be tracked but released from custody to await their court date,” Brown and her co-author, Tim O’Shea, wrote in an explainer piece for the Bipartisan Policy Center’s website. “Some children may have been separated from the adults they entered with, in cases where the family relationship could not be established, child trafficking was suspected, or there were not sufficient family detention facilities available. … However, the zero-tolerance policy is the first time that a policy resulting in separation is being applied across the board.”

 

 

So, no, neither W nor Obama did anything similar to what's happening under Trump.
