The script almost writes itself. You get a bunch of Politicians who want nothing more than to cling to power, create a crisis and use it to it's full potential. You hear stories of babies starving at the boarder, and going without toothbrushes and showers and so on. It is a load of shit. They are selling you a News Story. A story that keeps the Media relevant with lies attached. Facts: 1) Does the U.S. use “cages” to detain children?
The government has rejected the idea that it uses “cages” in its facilities. But that’s the term used by activists and others who oppose the administration’s immigration policy. Also, news organizations have used that term, including the Associated Press, which used the word to refer to the fencing enclosures at one Texas facility.
2)So what about that image of a young boy in a cage?
The photo in question depicts a boy in distress as he looks out of a cage he is grasping with his hands. It has been turned into a meme that asks, “Are you Trump fans really OK with this?”Journalist and activist Jose Antonio Vargas included the photo in a June 11 tweet that said: “This is what happens when a government believes people are ‘illegal.’ Kids in cages.” (Vargas openly discusses his own status as an immigrant living in the country illegally.)In a subsequent tweet, Vargas acknowledged he wasn’t sure where the photo originated, but many others also shared the image, including the actor Ron Perlman.
3)Is the government using military camps to hold the minors?
Health and Human Services is indeed eyeing several military bases “for potential use as temporary shelters for unaccompanied alien children at some point in the future,” the Administration for Children and Families confirmed for us. On June 13, McClatchy reported that Fort Bliss in Texas could be used as a “tent city to hold between 1,000 and 5,000 children.”In addition to Fort Bliss, officials are evaluating Dyess Air Force Base and Goodfellow Air Force Base, which are also in Texas.If that happens, it wouldn’t be the first time military bases were used to accommodate immigrants. Under the Obama administration, bases served as such facilities, including in 2014 during the influx of unaccompanied children illegally entering the country.In his testimony last month, Wagner said the last “temporary” facility at a Department of Defense site closed in February 2017.
You can find these facts at Fact Check or by doing any kind of research on the subject.
You want to see hypocrisy then explain this: The Secure Fence Act of 2006
The Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by President George W. Bush, authorized about 700 miles of fencing along certain stretches of land between the border of the United States and Mexico. The act also authorized the use of more vehicle barriers, checkpoints, and lighting to curb illegal immigration, and the use of advanced technology such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles. At the time the act was being considered, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer were all members of the Senate. (Schumer of New York is now the Senate minority leader.)Obama, Clinton, Schumer, and 23 other Democratic senators voted in favor of the act when it passed in the Senate by a vote of 80 to 19.
For a Democrat, Obama took a fairly tough stance, particularly early in his presidency, toward undocumented immigrants. In March 2014, Janet Murguía, president of the National Council on La Raza, a Latino advocacy group, called Obama "the deporter-in-chief."
It was a criticism that activists leveled at Obama throughout his presidency. From 2009 to 2016, his administration oversaw the forcible removal of more than 3 million undocumented immigrants—most of whom were sent back to Mexico. Neither Bill Clinton nor George W. Bush, Obama's two predecessors, came close to reaching his tally over their two terms.
Obama's immigration policies softened with time as Latino activists increasingly put pressure on his administration. In 2013, forcible removals peaked at 434,015 people, a figure unrivaled by Bush or Clinton. By 2016, this had fallen to 344,354 immigrants, slightly lower than Bush's peak of 359,795 in 2008.
If you read between the lines you will see the narrative, it is all about Votes and pandering, redistricting, and political power. At one time Democrats had a much harder stance on Illegal Immigration than Republicans. Go back and watch President Clinton Speeches and President Obama Speeches on the subject. Hell, do not take my word for it. You can find these speeches on any search.
All the great Nations at one time had good Governments but in the long run, had become too large and then pander to outsiders to fix the money problems they themselves have created. They have all fallen. Learning the lessons from History is no brainier. This country will not and cannot sustain a policy of open borders. We are a Nation of Laws, unless otherwise changed we will continue to be a Nation of Laws. At this point you have to make a choice, you either uphold the Laws of this Nation, or you just suspend all of them and brace for the outcome. I can bet that when this problem starts to affect the ones complaining loudly about abuses that do not exist, then in turn those very people start losing their jobs to lesser skilled labor the outcry will turn on a dime to "Why has the Government allowed this to happen?". Immigration reform is a must job for this country. We cannot take in the whole world. it is statistically impossible no matter what hypothetical math you use. We have to put away the claws and set aside political differences and also set aside the political pandering and find a solution on a problem that will break this country in the long run. And listening to these political liars running for President it would seem to me that is going to be impossible. You have to take away their incentive to drive asinine narratives. Just fix the problem fairly.
