I'm not looking to try past administrations; just to highlight the continuities in policy that go beyond the scope of the two-party split as it's currently configured. The extent to which this has been made a 'flagship' policy by Trump and aggressively pursued with hostile rhetoric certainly does bring its own effects, I agree, and stoking nativist resentments is always a very dangerous line that shouldn't be underestimated. But if there's a danger of losing sight of what's being done right now, there's also a danger of only seeing the right now, and not the historical tendencies that it's part of - because how we understand the situation and how it came about bears on our understanding of how it can be opposed. Democrat administrations have carried on the business of detention and deportation with much less bluster, but they have still carried it on. The stats in this clip are eyewatering.

Matteo Salvini, Italy’s far-right interior minister, has declared victory after a standoff over the fate of 629 people on a humanitarian rescue boat prompted Spain to agree to accept them. The impasse, after the populist and far-right government in Italy refused to allow the MS Aquarius to dock over the weekend, suggested that Europe could face a humanitarian crisis this summer as it comes to grips with the new Italian government’s hardline approach to refugees and migrants. Salvini blocked the ship from Italian ports and said it should go to Malta instead. Malta refused, saying it had nothing to do with a rescue mission overseen by the Italian coastguard in waters off Libya. “We have opened a front in Brussels,” said Salvini, who became interior minister last week. “We are contacting the European commission so that it can fulfil its duties towards Italy that have never been respected.” [Edited 6/18/18 11:33am] | |

http://www.cbc.ca/news/wo...-1.4711267 What's real, and what's not, about the U.S. border crisis
Thousands of children split from their families at the U.S. southern border are being held in government-run facilities. A look at how it came to this, what's real and what's not, and what might happen next. Recent turn to 'zero tolerance' creates bad optics ahead of midterm elections Tens of thousands of parents and children, mostly from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, have been caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in recent years with stories of fleeing drug cartels, extreme poverty and gang violence. The U.S. can't send them back over the border unless they are Mexican citizens, and instead must refer their case to an immigration judge. ************ Separating parent(s) from child(ren) is so wrong on all levels.

This is not America? Oh, yes, it is: Neil Macdonald Along the southern border, families with the will and the heart to flee misery and seek asylum are being torn apart — the parents charged and prosecuted and deported, rather than welcomed through open doors. Their children, alone and terrified, sit numbly in tent cities erected by ICE, Donald Trump's freshly empowered immigration enforcers, who keep visiting do-gooders away, even papering over windows to hide what's going on within......

worth a read: June 17, 2018 3:22 am Separating Families at the Border Was Always Part of the Plan : https://www.google.com/am...-plan.html -----> last few paragraphs: The zero tolerance practice of immediately imprisoning, prosecuting, and deporting immigrants who illegally enter the United States has been around since 2005, but the George W. Bush and Obama administrations were morally and pragmatically opposed to separating immigrant children from their families, even if some adult immigrants were clearly taking advantage of that compassion. That’s not who we are,” a team of Obama officials concluded after briefly considering the separations, according to former domestic policy adviser Cecilia Muñoz. Another Obama administration veteran, former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh C. Johnson, told the Times that efforts to deter undocumented immigrants from entering the U.S. are ineffective. “Whether it’s family detention, messaging about dangers of the journey, or messaging about separating families and zero tolerance, it’s always going to have at best a short-term reaction,” he explained. But President Trump and his policy makers, having risen to power on the back of Trump’s xenophobic campaign rhetoric, employ a darker and more morally flexible pragmatism. The Times reports that Trump officials began discussing the division of immigrant families at the border soon after taking office, and that the Department of Homeland Security even did some trial runs separating children from their parents last summer in Texas. Implementing the border separation policy has always been part of their plan, it just took a little longer than people like Stephen Miller had hoped. After all, the Trump administration has arguably enjoyed no greater success than in its efforts targeting immigrants and all forms of immigration. Zero tolerance, especially toward immigrants, isn’t just a policy proposal to this president and his allies — it is the ideology that animates the entire Trump phenomenon, and a defining characteristic of the world as they want it to be. bush passed the immigration ball to obama. trump painted the ball orange for his cronies. his rule says "forget compassion", because drumpf-trump is at center court as a one man team. ![]() let them say ![]() ♊ ⚤🎸♪🎵♫🎶 a time of true musical nobility. | |

The reporter leans conservative so of course she is going to compare Trump and Obama in this fashion so I am wary of her opinion being injected in this piece. I am well aware that Obama deporting many people, but reporters who have been covering this issue at the borders have said that conditions of these holding facilities are far worse now and there is no doubt the Trump adminstration has a clear hand in that - hence, the story.

I just don't understand how Trump's administration can get away with all of this so easily. And why on earth isn't the UN intervening immediately??? What kind of world do we live in... | |

^ *THAT* is what he is doing. Saying it is a law from Democrats is UNTRUE. TRUMP IS LYING. "'Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.'' - Thomas Jefferson | |

FIRST: these are not asylum seekers. why is this lie being told over and over? Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them. | |

The UN has no power to intervene. Human rights, though they are supposed to be granted to all human beings regardless of nationality or citizenship, are nonetheless the responsibility of sovereign states to guarantee. The UN can offer guidance, such as this UNHCR global strategy encouraging members to end child detention and minimise immigration detention, but the organisation can't send a crack team to bust the kids out or something like that. With any other state, they could remind them of their obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, but the US is the only one of the world's nations not to have ratified that.
