The US government now says there were 3,000 separated minors placed federal in custody, including at least 100 under the age of five.
POTUS posse revised the count of kids detained under its border policy. Trump administration claims they will find a way so the children can stay with parents per judge's order https://usat.ly/2tY3jNS
Asylum comes from an Ancient Greek juridical concept, under which a person persecuted by their own country may be protected by another sovereign authority, such as another nation or church official, who in medieval times could offer sanctuary.
This was recognized by the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Hebrews then adopted into Western tradition. René Descartes fled to the Netherlands, Voltaire to England, and Thomas Hobbes to France, because each state offered protection to persecuted foreigners.
It’s simple logic that everyone should be able to understand, the punishment for an alleged misdemeanor should never become an administrative nightmare where those seeking to improve their lives could end up losing their babies forever. Although #USA no longer has an open arms policy, poor people continue to migrate to richer countries like #America. Many migrants are children and some of them are not old enough, nor do they have the language capacity to defend themselves.
Anyone attacking the press is #RED the Real Enemy of Democracy. This week @POTUS reacted to the shooting of journalists Tweeting thoughts and prayers along with a thumbs-up sign and a wave to news media members seeking comments.
Why did @realDonaldTrump walk away? He had nothing to say? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/maryland-…
Hasn’t POTUS administration so far been marked by BS, and huge lies, greed, ethical transgressions and criminal charges?
Crossing the US border without permission is a misdemeanor. The connection between immigration and crime is one of the most confusing and contentious topics in modern day society. Debates on the issue date back more than 100 years. A general point on which both pro- and anti-immigration scholars agree on is that the latest wave of immigration is likely to have a more impact on American politics than any other socially charged issue.
One of these days The Grand Old Party will wake up to realize that Trump's Modus Operandi is to cause chaos. It is the word most tossed around each and every week to capture the circus atmosphere circling around Donald Trump's DC Drama Circus.
They say its hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and old habits die hard and since that is what he knows, particularly in the contexts of business and criminal investigations.
Are you mostly seeing green when you think about Trump and his endless amount of questionable activities and personal practices?
When his base loses food stamps, energy assistance, unemployment insurance, housing assistance, Pell Grants and all those benefits brown and black people they feel don't deserve, only then will his approval undoubtedly shrink. Just wait and remember that he did not receive the majority of the votes counted. In the meantime...
Who despite evidence to the contrary has tweeted confirmation that he is, in fact, a stable genius and is now proposing to merge US Department of Labor and Education? Is this a sinister plan to destroy both agencies?
It was political poker and he folded. POTUS tried looking very tough, but eventually backed off when the going got rough.
What prompted a sudden @realDonaldTrump change of his unpopular @POTUS policy? Was it the outpouring of negative public opinion, a bluff went wrong, or another lie fact-checked, or all of the above? Trump breaks down and reverses himself by signing another executive order telling everyone to stop HIS family separation practice that blew up in his face.
