DHS: Nearly 2,000 Children Separated From Adults At Border In 6 Weeks

Yup, good old returning him to his father by separating him from his mother and extended family in Florida to go back to the People's Paradise of Cuba.
A small detail that sort of negates that rebuttal.

LTC (Join to see) - Doesn't negate anything...we took hom by force form his mother and family here and returned him to a dictatorship country and his father and it was ok.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth - you need to reread what happened. We didn't take him from his mother. His mother was dead, she didn't make it to the US. He was staying with a great uncle. His father wanted him to be returned to him. The SCOTUS ruled that the child's parent, and not a great uncle is the one who is responsible for making asylum decisions for a child. The majority of Americans agreed with the principle that a parent and not some distant relative is the one who gets custody of a child. The only reason the raid happened was that the great uncle refused to obey the order of the SCOTUS, dozens of protesters surrounded the house, and the great uncle warned police that they were carrying more than just signs.

But again, the child was taken from a very distant relative who the child had no previous relationship with and was returned to his only living parent. That is the exact opposite of what is happening now.

COL William Oseles - SHOCKING AND BEYOND BELIEF UNBELIEVABLE. PRAYERS WITH MY LOVE FOR YOU, FATHER AND SON.

Correction - parents will be separated from their children

MSgt Steve Sweeney - YOucrack me up by saying and inferring that Trump is the only one that has cozied up to other crazy world leaders. Have we forgottenthat Obabm during his second election leaned over to Putin and told him to hold on and they would have more flexibility to deal after he got reelcted? He forgot the mic was on and it got swept under the rug. Trump doesn't have a monopoly on this. To say "Turning the land of the free and the home of the brave into that land of the incarcerated and home of the cowardly and xenophobic." is without merit. We don't dislike folks from other countries...we just want them here legally so they can pay work, pay taxes, pay for their own health care, not use our welfare system that they haven't paid into etc. Just do it the right way...yes it takes time but inthe end it is worth it.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth - Obama didn't say that to Putin, it was To Medvedev. And that story was all over the media, hardly swept under the rug.

LTC (Join to see) - He said it to Medvedev to pass to Putin. It was in the media like a flash in the pan and gone just as quick.

The picture of children in cages used to set off this firestorm is a LIE but the media keep using it.
It was a publicity shot take at a Pro-Immigration Rally in 2014.
The flip side is that back in 2014 when the children were being released to relatives and 'foster care' the AP found many of them were actually going to Human Traffic rings.
It is a dammed if you do and dammed if you don't situation and mandated by Court Order in the 1997 Settlement and the 1996 Crime Bill.

COL William Oseles - Thank you, Sir, for your response.
