Now that the just released IG report about Russian collusion and Hillary’s emails took the wind out of Democrats’ sail, their next bag of hot air is blowing across the land from a timely pivot to blaming the Trump administration for separating illegal alien kids snuck over the border by their illegal alien parents who are now criminals according to longstanding US law.
When you are caught sneaking across our border with your kid(s), you are not an “immigrant” – now no longer adorned even by the politically permuting adjectives ‘illegal’ or ‘undocumented’. You are simply an apprehended illegal alien fugitive. That you broke our laws does not entitle you to an automatic smorgasbord of benefits and special treatment.
Having your offspring in tow does not suddenly make you exempt from the laws that prescribe how our native criminal parents are dealt with when they are taken into custody. We don’t put their children in jail with them, and we don’t give adults a ‘get out of jail free’ card just because they have children. What we do is take their kids and put them into appropriate foster care until their parents’ legal situation is resolved according applicable laws. On any given day there are almost a half million children in foster care across America, and the turnover in that population is high. Here is a summary of data on that from the Dept of HHS, ‘The AFCARS Report’.
Today, as part and parcel of the spread of national dumbth, progressives (and even some light thinking conservatives) are hyperventilating about Trump having invented a new policy for ripping children from the loving arms of parents who really did nothing wrong other than leave their shithole country, illegally transit other benign countries, and sneak across our border to live the American dream. All they want is asylum, jobs and/or US govt checks, and amnesty. What’s so bad with that?
The details of the applicable laws, the history of their enforcement, and the current situation is more complex than can be explained to attention-deficit audiences with other things on their minds. All that they need to hear from lamestream outlets is that Trump is “cruel and immoral” and doing something never done before to jailed people, be they American citizens or illegal aliens. Such reporting should keep the leftwing’s 'Resist Trump' pot boiling.
For a more measured and complete analysis of what’s really going on here, I recommend reading Rich Lowry’s ‘The Truth About Separating Kid’.
For those who are interested from hearing from an immigration attorney/judge regarding the issue I direct you to the 3rd hour of the June 18th Armstrong & Getty show podcast!

Phew, glad that blew over quickly. Weapons of Mass Malipulation. Haven’t been carpet bombed like that since Trump spoke to that Immigration Lawyer (specializing in visas for Islamics) GOLSTAR Dad’s wife. Boy, that took about 3 weeks to settle down.
It was funny to see them turn blue in the face last night . Worth it all. Good job Mr. President. Nice call. Now, onward to the bigger picture.

Where it was today accurately reported the "policy" is actually a Ninth Circuit decision called Flores. My goodness Pelline is so stupid. No wonder he was booted at our local paper.

Let's think outside the box for a moment to abuse an often used phrase. Trump needed some way to get the Democrats in the Senate to vote for immigration reform. Now that we have reach crisis mode, the Democrats will have to think hard about rejecting Trump's immigration reform, as he is solving the problem and they could be viewed as blocking a solution. This could have been a manufactured crisis to play out just like it is, the WH knew what CNN was going to do and the rest of the press. Session launched the crisis with his zero policy speech. The Democrats have been maneuvered into having to vote for the Trump immigration reform bill, which includes all the provision he wants. Let's see if he gets 6+ D votes on the immigration reform bill.

A correspondent informs me that we're a real news item on the FUE's blog. However, his readers seem to have no idea what has been debated in this comment stream, other than concluding that somehow there was some kind of a loss here in some kind of competition that they seem to have won. But again, there is no discussion of ideas, only spewing of snark. Pity.

Why yes, Bobby 222pm, I do know about the Warsaw ghetto in Poland in WWII. It didn't involve illegal immigrants; it was where the Nazi invaders put Polish individuals and families who were Jewish while waiting the Nazi's Final Solution which mostly involved a final move to an extermination camp elsewhere in Poland.
A question for you, Bob... how many Saturday Night Specials did it take for the incarcerated to well-regulate the Waffen-SS in charge of controlling them, at least for a time?
On an almost related note, my wife's mother was in the Washington DC area starting in 1939 while my wife's grandfather was on a diplomatic mission to the US from Serbia, their family home and all other properties were confiscated by the Nazi occupiers. On our dining room table are copies of Nazi documents (courtesy the US National Archives) detailing the stuff that was taken from the Albala (Sephardi) and Lebl (Ashkenazi) families. Looking over the documents, the German attention to detail is absolutely amazing. Were the Nazi collaborators in Croatia (the Ustase) been as anal retentive, they'd not have gotten away with sanitizing the Jasenovasc extermination camp in Croatia.

The FUE comes across as a person ready for admittance into a mental institution. He is actually quite entertaining. But like the left that attacked Trump to do something about the kidlets. When he did they attacked that. That is the FUE. No creds since he can never agree with anything a conservative says even when there is no difference. He is the definition of someone that is "unhinged" from reality and 100% political.

Then there is this -
The boy told officials that he was going to the U.S. to visit his mother and that “he was dropped off by his uncle and that Border Patrol would pick him up,” the release said.
10 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE FOUND HIDING IN SQUALID ARIZONA HOME
After being “rescued” in an area located west of Lukeville, Arizona, where the heat topped 100 degrees, officials said the child was brought “to Tucson for further processing.”
The news release went on to emphasize the threat of smugglers, adding that “children in particular are extremely vulnerable, not only to exploitation, but also to the elements in the environment.”

Reading the comments is interesting and entertaining because the comparison is profound if you've paid attention during your lifetime. Not long ago "jon" poked fun at me for praying that God bring me the right mate someday while I was a teenager. The reason was that I'd seen so many broken families. My prayer was answered when I was twenty. The young man that rode into my life on the Harley got my attention. Why? Later it became apparent that he was my Knight who was good, loving, tough, and hard working. He provided for his family, and taught them by example for 65 years. I get a kick out of some who quote the Bible using it to support their warped political mentality. When it comes to children we had five. This is a profound responsibility ignored by most who enjoy planting the seed that will create and bring a new life onto earth. It is the woman who is chosen to sacrifice her body (and life) to that new creation being born. Her super God given responsibility is to nourish it in and out of the womb and teach it. The father protects and provides for them. I have to laugh at all the men and women who ignore the sacrifice of the important entity bringing them into the world. Women! Those who procreate children are responsible for them. Our laws evolved to protect us from one another, because some individuals think they can do whatever and not be responsible for what they create. Those using their children as pawns to get what they want aren't nice, nor are the Politicians using them for the same reasons. These oath swearers aren't upholding their pledge to American citizens who are taxes to pay for everything including their excessive salaries and benefits. How about the biblical prophecy that their money will testify against them? Meanwhile, other nations (and citizens) have responsibility for their circumstances just as we do.
If they want to come here they have to abide by our laws just as we must abide by theirs.

Let’s see. Now that kids are not being separated from their parents in detention, everything is fine, right? ROFLMAO. Its just starting to rev up again. Now the exploding heads will really be going off because we are detaining families. We are putting them in detention centers! We are putting families in concentration camps, gulags, in Auschwitz!! The families are being shipped off and placed in inhumane conditions surrounded by chain link fences, exactly like most every playground, school yards, and many day care centers we drop our own kids off across the USA on a daily basis. Sweet.
Bottom line: No detention for illegals. No ICE. No arrests. No fences. No Border Patrol. No jails. All criminals are political prisoners. Too funny.

"Frank Burns eats worms." - recitation from a M.A.S.H. episode English lesson
It strikes me that folks aren't noticing the "policy" argument wasn't whether or not to rip children from their parents, but whether or not to arrest adult "illegals" and hold them until their day in court if they contested being deported immediately by making an asylum request.
That policy remains... the Trump "caving" was to put the kids in the pokey with the real or imagined mom and dad and to work to get the Flores 20 day limit extended.
This is not placating the folks wanting de facto asylum (catch and release) for any adult in the company of a minor.
Posted by: Gregory | 21 June 2018 at 08:48 AM
I really see do see a total Leftist meltdown going on here. Seriously. They are flipping out coast to coast. It’s like one big psychotic episode going on. They are out there protesting and screaming at detention centers built by Obama, chasing folks out of restaurants, popping their corks at press conferences, and that does not even touch our local blogs.
jon smith lost it here recently. calling Hilary Hodge a brash lesbian, totally out of character. Punchy jumped into the topic about separating parents being charged with crimes from their kids with his going off about this is a blue county or something out of left field like a guy in a rubber room. The FUE jumps over here losing his ever loving mind, Bobbie Linda Cross Campbell babbling incoherently about Warsaw, and the media has melted down into a puddle of unsightly toxic goo like The Wicked Witch did when Dorothy threw water on her. It’s Wall to Wall one big Lefty psychotic group panic attack.
I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. Ever. I bet not one person reading this can ever think of a time in our history where such an unhinged group panic attack phenomenon was occurred, totally detached from reality. Maybe that time Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds was broadcasted on a radio show.... it’s mass hysteria going on.
The silver lining is that M is looking sane by comparison. That says it all.

Great point. Catch and release barely scratches the surface. The very idea that violating immigration laws should ever even be considered “illegal” or a crime is beyond the pale to them. The concept of enforcing immigration law sticks in their caw. Any enforcement is unconscionable. Where do we go from here?
3% of catch and release illegals never bother show up at their hearings. Why? Because they know that if they show up, they do not have a legal leg to stand on to be here, even after exhausting all options. They know they would not have been granted entry if they simply entered at a designated point of entry. They know, we know, everybody knows.
What the Left never mentions or questions is what kind of parent would send off their 8 year daughter with strangers, loading her up with a handful of morning after after pills knowing full well that their 8 year old daughter would get raped and abused by the those taking her North. What kind of abusive piece of shit human debris would do that to their 8 year old daughters??? WTF. What kind of animals are they?

Only in actuality he hasn’t shown any contrition or repentance. He doesn’t own that he created this perversion. He never does. He never apologizes or admits being wrong. He is a malignant narcissist, and psychopath at worst or a sociopath at best. He has no capacity for normal human traits. He is basically a monster…which reflects deeply on those who support him, if not the entire active GOP. At this point there is little difference from the early part of Hitler’s rise when he seemed to just be a politician.

Ricky....June 21/8:26am
Hahaha. Interesting that you brought up the alleged drugging of emigrant children. Been watching and writing about the drugging of American children a long time. The war within our country includes a sinister attack on our children who would be the future of America, but where was the emotional outrage? The public schools began attacking the more energetic, rambunctious children (mostly boys), forcing their parents to put them on Ritalin, or Adderall as a form of discipline. I know because they tried to force a grandson onto it, and wouldn't listen to his parents. They had to have their lawyer go to the meeting with them, because the school officials wouldn't listen. All heads turned to the lawyer who asked, "How are his grades?" The answer was that they were okay, so they were told what they were doing was against the law. The schools were being paid around $420 for every kid they put on drugs. There were some angry lawyers concerning schools pushing drugs. And you've probably seen some of the documentaries about it many years ago. Now we're told America has a huge opioid problem. Clint Eastwood's last movie about the Paris American heroes saving those on the train from a terrorist includes how the school wanted to drug them in grammar school, but the mothers refused to allow it.
I did some research on the Russian Pavlov's dog experiment that led to this.
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/apr/09/kremlin-hall-of-mirrors-military-information-psychology
Inside the Kremlin's Hall of Mirrors.
Fake news stories, doctored photographs, staged TV clips, and armies of paid trolls. Has Putin's Russia developed a new kind of information warfare - fought in the "psychosphere" rather than on the battlefield? Or is it all just a giant bluff? Disinformation and psychological operations are as old as the Trojan horse. But what distinguished the Kremlin’s approach from that of its western rivals was this new stress on the “psychosphere” as the theatre of conflict. These wars of the future would be fought not on the battlefield but in the minds of men. I hate to bug you with this stuff but it's what's been going on a long time with those we are supposed to trust.
Think about how deadly the medical doctors, pschycologists, and drugs were in Germany and Russia last century. Years I bought Svetlana Stalins (Twenty Letters to a Friend) in a used book store. In it she relates how her dad used doctors to kill his enemies. She said they killed him and her husband too. So ya gotta beware of human nature...and the smooth talking salesman convincing you how much he cares about you.

Press Snookered Again
WASHINGTON (AP) — Melania Trump went to Texas to show she cared about migrant children. Her fashion choice carried a baffling counter-message.
The first lady wore a green, hooded military jacket from the fast-fashion brand Zara that read “I really don’t care, do u?” both as she departed and returned to Washington. The words were printed in white, in graffiti-style, on the jacket’s back.
When asked what message the first lady intended to send, spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: “It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn’t going to choose to focus on her wardrobe. ”
If she has worn a simple plain jacket the Press would have ignored the event, her visit would be a non-event. The "fake news" organization would have buried news of her attendance and compassion for the immigrant children. The jacket changed that! We now have the full story of her journey. The Press Snookered again.

Winning - Here is one for the po' ol' fakenewsman, can you say midterms?
54 percent of likely voters polled by Rasmussen said that they think the parents are more to blame for breaking the law.Only 35 percent said the government is more to blame for the crisis.
Further, 54 percent of voting Americans agree with President Trump’s assertion that “The United States will not be a migrant camp. And it will not be a refugee-holding facility — it won’t be.”

Oh boy. That jacket story hit NPR and it looks like Punchy will be sinking his teeth into this shocking story uncovered by crack journalists and spread across the globe by unhinged news directors playing endless loops or this breaking scandal.
Best to keep our heads low tonight. Incoming!
“It was an odd choice for Trump — she isn't often seen wearing a $39 anything, and she rarely wears outfits not carefully thought out. That's where the blue dress/gold dress interpretations begin (though there's no scientific explanation for this).
What did it mean? Zara did not respond to an email asking to explain its inspiration for the jacket. Not that that matters anymore. Opps, strike that last sentence.

It seems to me that at least two out of three news items in the lamestream about separated kids is just an out-and-out lie. These consist of everything from pictures of 'kids in cages', to heartrending stories of kids alone, to keeping them hungry, to feeding them crap to eat, ... is either manufactured or exhumed from the Obama era. Does anyone know how effective these stories are across the land?

My online comment to the idiot Vodicka. I will try to do a Voices on this soon.
"his ridiculous screed is what we have to deal with in free speech country. How someone can even think like this author is a very scary proposition. And of course, he resorts to the ultimate namecalling while crying our=t for civility. Hypocrites like this author are now all over the air. It is his ilk's laws that are in force. Trump and his admin are simply enforcing democrat laws. To call fellow Americans Nazis will not work. You can scream that from the highest mountaintop but right0thinking Americans know we are the most giving people on planet earth. We reject you and your allegations as totally ludicrous.
Trump issued an Executive Order to reunite families anyway so the whole premise of your hysterical creed is moot. And your history is totally ridiculous. What town is the Admin destroying and what lives are in jeopardy? None, and to compare our country and its law enforcement officers to Nazis makes you a fool."
