"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
There are no words for how repugnant the US government is right now, other than "Lewkowskian" (and you know he'd agree to put his name to this policy if he were asked): https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...portation.html
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
This thread makes for some difficult reading: https://mobile.twitter.com/KlasfeldR...27163137142784
Does anyone think there will be any accountability for this?

It's getting better. I just discussed this matter with some die-hard Trumpsters.
They actually defend that shit. "It's the LAW!"
Completely ignoring that laws can be changed (who's in complete control of both of the executive and the legislative again?) and that also laws do not need to be enforced strictly.
I told them that this was the kind of thinking which would have made them great KZ wardens.

I understand some people think that brown children don't matter and that brown people can't love their children, but how can mainstream Republicans go along with this?Records linking children to their parents have disappeared, and in some cases have been destroyed, according to two officials of the Department of Homeland Security, leaving the authorities struggling to identify connections between family members.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Because it's The Law. And The Law has to be applied 100%.
Just not when it comes to something their own side is doing.

Because they don't think illegal immigrants are people (the more extreme ones don't think any immigrants or non-whites are people).

This is fucking abominable. I can see why monstrous child-hating racists might want to talk about German bloggers instead.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
"Such children don't have a right to a court-appointed attorney, and 90 percent of kids without a lawyer are returned to their home countries, according to Kids in Need of Defense, a group that provides legal representation."
Every effort should be made to reunite them with their families in their home countries. It makes it sound like that 90% figure is too high, it should be higher.
You say *in their home countries* as if seeking asylum isn't a legally recognized right. And you gloss over the fact that US government agencies separated these minor children from their parents in the first place, and has 100% responsibility for reuniting them.
You sound just like the Trump acolytes on cable news shows that say, "These kids are victims of their parents' bad choices, so don't blame the Trump administration for carrying out The Law!" These are the same people that love to complain about bad immigration laws, Executive/Presidential overreach, and governmental incompetence. Give me a break
I don't think people who sneak over the border should get to claim Asylum. I don't think that just because your country is a shit hole means we should say "oh yeah come on in." Otherwise literally every Mexican citizen could claim Asylum. That's insane and you might as well not even have a border.
I actually think separating kids and parents long distance is utterly stupid. They should be kept in facilities nearby or together depending on the circumstances. No catch and release however.
Now, people walking up to the border and turning themselves into authorities and saying they are claiming Asylum is how it *should* work. Those people I can accept some sort of nuance and if there is a decent surface level case we could issue ankle monitors or something.
Lewk, people fleeing for their lives aren't generally "walking up to the border". Especially after they've already made a journey of several thousand miles, across other nations, enduring untold hardships, not to mention legal and linguistic challenges. We have created some of those barriers through policy, and turned political differences into a humanitarian crisis.
Your ideas about how asylum *should* work can't be taken seriously when you doubt the validity of asylum in the first place. I'd try to take this to a moral level debate, and ask if/when you think it's understandable when desperate people break certain laws, sometimes without knowing it's illegal, in their pursuit of Life and Liberty....but then I remembered you're the guy that justified shooting poor people in the back for stealing toothpaste.

We have to preserve America the beautiful for Evangelical fuckwits, they need a place to hang out while Satan gets hell ready for them.

Call them what they are: Christianists.

Not in the US rand, there is no national or state standards governing the internal affairs process. Saying its "more separated" when compared to your average HR department is nothing more than hollywood magic.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
This is a bogus explanation. You aren't run by the govt but you're pretty fucked up. Govt doesn't magically create bad people, not even when it comes to cops and prison staff. If the TSA were private, its customers would be the government, not ordinary people. A private TSA wouldn't give any more of a shit about those people than a prison contractor does about the families of prisoners.

I suggest you read up on those rubber rooms, because it's pretty obvious you've missed the point.
