you guys are trying to make it sound like each and every kid is ripped from their parents upon entry.You guys are trying to make the issue of US Government authorities mishandling young kids who came with their parents seeking asylum into an issue of the overall immigration issue, building a wall, etc. The focus of the topic is the mistreatment of children and the separation of families of persons legally seeking asylum. Everything else is deflection.and it's also being abused by immigrants now.That is why the process of seeking asylum is a judicial process.so - the DOJ site on rules is a random message with an agenda? to you i'm sure it is.We should instead listen to partisan anonymous posters on random message boards as they promote their chosen agendas.this is all stupid, emotionally driven bullshit.
can it happen? HELL YES. does it happen every time? HELL NO. but as usual, get some emo-driven tv comedian with an agenda to rile people up who are looking for reasons to be said riled up and wa-la. we have controversy for the very same actions that died of total apathy 4-8+ years ago.
Myth vs. Fact: DHS Zero-Tolerance Policy
when the news is telling you how to feel, it's not news. and if you need some asinine comedian on tv to tell you how to tell, you may want to stop and think about that.
as for "asylum" then we need to understand the rules for that:
But not everyone qualifies for asylum or refugee status. You must meet some strict requirements, as described in this article. In particular, you must show two things:
not all are going to be eligible for asylum and people are trying to call for this vs. immigration.
- You are unable or unwilling to return to your home country because you have been persecuted there in the past or have a well-founded fear that you will be persecuted if you go back.
- The reason you have been (or will be) persecuted is connected to one of five things: your race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or your political opinion.
it sucks. no one is denying it. but we can't just say "fuck it" and let them come in as they wish. and if we have to take legal action against some parents, what do you suggest we do with the kids?
if people spent 1/4th the time looking for solutions as they do saying how much the other side sucks, we could get back to fixing common issues.
and how do we determine then, using your method, who is abusing the asylum route vs. who is truly running from harm? your country sucking and being in a bad mess isn't physical harm to you. wars we caused in your region would be.
you're trying to paint this in a very broad fashion using very specific terms and i'm not going to play that game with you. start trying to fix the problem and not blaming the other side and i'll listen.
