Mike Pence says conditions are unacceptable & and Democrats need to act to fix it.
Pence visits Texas border patrol facilities, highlighting challenges, overcrowding - CNNPolitics
Think about that.
It is not the fault of the administration. The Democrats are at fault because they didn't act. Act to do what? Build Trump's stupid 40' concrete wall????
This is another example of this administration ineptness and trying to pin it on Democrats even though Republicans contrioled both houses for years.
Mike, this os YOUR fault. YOU are stealing children. YOU are separating families. It was YOUR policies that did this.
Nope, O caged them before trump showed up. You're lying.....again.
under obama, unaccompanied minors were detained but were not refused basic necessities.
your president's orders were to separate them all AND now, it's to take children away from blood relatives that are not their parents. there are family memebers living legally here & sponsers not being contacted to takes these kids. & they can't even clean themselves.
that's ALL on trump.
Immigrant children: Here's what's happening with kids at the border, policywise
Family separations aren't over. As many as five kids per day are separated from their parents at the border.
Six migrant children have died in U.S. custody. Here’s what we know about them
Why are migrants getting sick or dying on the border?
Of for crying out loud.
If the adult then wants to go home, in keeping with the expedited order of removal that is issued as a matter of course, it’s relatively simple. The adult should be reunited quickly with his or her child, and the family returned home as a unit. In this scenario, there’s only a very brief separation.
Where it becomes much more of an issue is if the adult files an asylum claim. In that scenario, the adults are almost certainly going to be detained longer than the government is allowed to hold their children.
That’s because of something called the Flores Consent Decree from 1997. It says that unaccompanied children can be held only 20 days. A ruling by the Ninth Circuit extended this 20-day limit to children who come as part of family units. So even if we want to hold a family unit together, we are forbidden from doing so.
The clock ticking on the time the government can hold a child will almost always run out before an asylum claim is settled. The migrant is allowed ten days to seek an attorney, and there may be continuances or other complications.
This creates the choice of either releasing the adults and children together into the country pending the ajudication of the asylum claim, or holding the adults and releasing the children. If the adult is held, HHS places the child with a responsible party in the U.S., ideally a relative (migrants are likely to have family and friends here).
