Hundreds of children being taken from their parents at US border

What's happening to us? This is really sad, and just seems completely unnecessary.

Hundreds of Immigrant Children Have Been Taken From Parents at U.S. Border

 

Sometimes, success doth breed contempt, which is why so many Babylonians can't even stand each other.

 

Sorry, I don’t follow.

 

They say Americans love a winner and hate a loser, but the more money the US makes, the more seriously divided and dysfunctional its people have become. To the point where Tea Party members call each other commies, and Southern Baptists preachers chase away their own congregations spouting vitriolic nonsense, all because suspicion, hate, fear, and loathing are all they can relate to. Familiarity with such people breeds self-contempt as much as anything else, which is why the Tea Party is infamous as being almost exclusively composed of white supremacists.

So long as the majority of Americans refuse to do anything more constructive than watch their daily propaganda and vote for whichever clown screams the loudest, the idea our country has a mind, much less a soul, is a joke in bad taste. You might as well attempt to reason with a rabid dog.

 

Wow. That sounds like more than just considering now.

 

The woman in the example in the article was presenting herself for asylum which is a perfectly legal process. I dont understand why people are being punished for entering legally

America is losing its humanity.

God only knows what actually happens to these children or what they have to endure in those detention centers

 

I read, in this same article, that the children being taken into protective custody were children who were with adults who could not prove they were the parents.

This article said that children were being used to help adults have an easier time crossing in.

 

I also read in the article that relatives in the U. S. were located to take the children in.

 

I also read in the article if no relatives are found the children languish in these detention centers indefinitely

 

Yeah.

 

In watching documentaries and films about the holicaust, this has shades of that where they separated children from parents. Different scenario but it’s chilling what is happening here.

 

Yes, or from whomever it is that brought them on the trip.

 

I'm sure that it's heartbreaking.

 

From what I understand of how the law works, Mexico would have been the legal and “proper” next step for asylum but people are fleeing Mexico because it’s a mess there as well, and so this is why this is happening.

 

The article says that it's because it goes easier and the adults would be released more quickly if they have children they brought in.

 

I can understand parents giving their children to someone who is making the trip. There are lots of reasons that the parents may choose/have to stay behind but send their children with someone to get them out of there.
