Children Separated…Dems Go Berserk- Manufacture Outrage!!!

Posted by Tina

While we await news about Michael Horowitz’s testimony before Congress let’s talk about the Democrat’s manufactured outrage over the care of children at the border. The Democrats, including their media friends, are actively ginning up a story that accuses the Trump administration for “cruelty toward children,” over something that’s been happening for at least a decade, probably more. The ugly rhetoric has been typically over the top:

AOL: “Former CIA chief compares Trump admin to Nazis over separating children from parents”

Chicago sun times, “Gutierrez slams Trump’s child separation, compares fear tactics to Nazi Germany”

LA Times, “Separating children and parents at the border is cruel and unnecessary”

WFB, “Gayle King at Texas Border Patrol Facility: The Statue of Liberty Is ‘Weeping Right Now'”

Oh really? HSS Secretary Nielsen defends the policy, posted at National Review, “‘We Will Not Apologize’ — Homeland Security Secretary Defends Family-Separation Policy”

“We will not apologize for the job we do or for the job law enforcement does, for doing the job that the American people expect us to do,” Nielsen said during her Monday address to National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans. “Illegal actions have and must have consequences. No more free passes, no more get-out-of-jail-free cards.” … Nielsen went on to decry inaccurate media portrayals of the Trump administration’s enforcement policy, which requires the detention and prosecution of all individuals caught crossing the border illegally. The policy has resulted in the separation of roughly 2,000 children from their parents, who are in detention awaiting trial. … … Nielsen placed blame for family separations squarely on lawmakers, citing legislative inaction on immigration reform as the central obstacle to changing the system. She also suggested that previous administrations are partly to blame for incentivizing child trafficking by providing “free passes” to adults who try to cross the border with children. … “This must stop. All this does is put the children at risk. To address these issues we’ve asked Congress to change the law to allow for the expeditious return of unaccompanied children, regardless of their country of origin. We are also asking Congress to allow us to keep families together while they are detained.”

How different was it under Obama? In some ways it was worse.

Democrats had a “Ya’ll come” attitude that encouraged and incentivized illegal entry while ignoring our laws. The left’s sanctuary policy encourages criminals to cross and then shelters them. The welcoming policies offer incentives to human traffickers who realize there’s big buck to be made. It should also be noted that the hoards of people, numbering in the thousands, that illegally cross our southern border are made up of those desperately escaping failed socialist countries south of our border. It’s a recipe to turn our nation into another third world hell hole!

Rather than supporting policies that would inspire freedom and capitalism in the countries south of our borders the American left shares many of the policies of the socialist dictators that have made such a mess of nations like Honduras, Guatamala, El Salvador, and Mexico. When government policies create high crime and terrorized citizens who have no hope for prosperity and safety how smart can those policies be? Not smart at all but the American left imagines itself the brightest and you and I the worst. Hillary Clinton has even invoked the Bible to shame Trump and push the leftist open border, take em all in, shelter even the dangerous criminals policies.

Did progressive polices under Obama result in a different outcome regarding children? Try these headlines from the Obama era:

Washington Post, “Mexican Kids Held for Months as Punishment for Crossing

Law and Crime:

Since 2008, the United States has had a policy known as the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP), or Lateral Repatriation. This program focuses on detaining male migrants of Mexican descent. … Here’s how it works: Once an immigrant is caught attempting to cross the border without documentation, they are detained, flown or bused across the United States and then shown the exit at another segment of the U.S.-Mexico border-thousands of miles from their original point of entry. … placed in completely unfamiliar surroundings where they are then subject to crime and abuse … the Obama administration drastically increased the use of ATEP in 2011 …immigrants’ rights activists had long cautioned that Lateral Repatriation breaks up families. The reason is fairly simple: many male Mexican nationals who are detained trying to cross the border often come with their families in tow. When ATEP is used, the men are captured and taken thousands of miles away, while their wives, partners and children are placed in immigrant detention centers.

The Guardian:

Fast-track deportations and ankle bracelets will be deployed under a larger-than-expected White House plan to deal with an immigration crisis prompted by the arrival of more than 52,000 children at the southern US border since last October, trafficked into Texas from Central America. … those entering the country recently would be dealt with first in an effort to deal with a backlog blamed for encouraging more families to risk the hazardous journey through Mexico for El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

NewsWeek

At issue is whether it’s legal to essentially lock up women and children who’ve crossed the border illegally, part of the administration’s response to last summer’s unaccompanied-minors crisis.

By the way, the photo at the top of this article was taken during the Obama administration! More here

We have an immigration crisis in this nation because of failed policies over many administrations both left and right who refused to secure our borders and enact sensible immigration policy that invites LEGAL immigration and discourages illegal entry.The current drama is political too…Democrats are desperate for an issue!

    Excellent article at Conservative Review, “The immorality of the open-borders Left,” by Daniel Horowitz

  2. J. Soden says:

    Feigned outrage by the Left occurs every day. Only thing that changes is which “outrage” they want to promote today.
    The separations occurred under both Bush and Obumble, yet no “outrage” was heard. The moron media has shot themselves in the mouth again.

    • Tina says:

      J, they’re getting mighty close to a fatal shot…their journalism credentials died long ago.

      Trump works so fast though their outrage can hardly get off the ground before it’s old news.

      Now of the republicans would just learn a lesson….

    Manufactured, my Aunt Fanny!

    I’ve had to leave off Colbert for the time being, because he plays too many Trump clips on the subject, which are sick-making.

  4. Harold says:

    Tina interesting that you posted this picture of a child caged and crying. It is a phony, staged photo cropped for another misinformation release by Liberal protesters against Trump.
