    This has real potential, under this government, to result in crimes against humanity, if that isn't already the case. I barely even want to let my mind go to what is certainly taking place already in these detention centers, and what kinds of laws are likely being broken constantly. I would comfortably bet that A LOT of what is going on down there isn't known by the general public (yet), and the worse it gets, the less we'll know. The government will be more focused on cover ups to try and make Trump look better than it will be on trying to make the situation better for the humans involved, especially given the fact that this government is basically incapable of administrative competency, since the POTUS doesn't see any reason to assign people who actually know what they're doing to any posts that govern any of this, while the new plan is to round these people all up and detain them, which is completely impossible to do in a humane way. Complete chaos, and it all comes back to Trump.

    From the border, more frustrating immigration numbers for President Trump

    Trump wants to start rounding up parents with their children in cities now, and start with mass detention and deportation away from the border. The ICE directors who were against doing this for obvious reasons were fired, so I don't think there is really anything stopping him from actually doing this now.

    I’m not exactly sure of the point of this topic. Are you talking about legal immigration or illegal immigration?  There is a huge difference.  Immigration itself can’t be lumped into one broad post without defining what immigration you are asking about.  That is if you are interested in actually talking about issues and problems.

    There's currently like 52,000 migrants in "captivity." I put captivity in quotations because...are they "captured?" Or are they allowed to turn and go back? I ask that seriously because I don't know the answer. And nobody wants to see kids sleeping on the ground in tin foil blankets. But what is the US government to do? Give immediate free room and board to every migrant seeking asylum? They can't do that. But the migrants keep coming and coming. And now there's no room for them all, and that's why there are pictures of kids sleeping on ground.

    The separation of kids and families is moronic. I don't think they're doing that anymore (though I'm not sure), but the damage is already done. Many of those kids that were separated from their families around the time of the mid-term election will never see their families again. That's horrible.

    Children are still being separated from their families. The Trump administration is exploiting loopholes that were meant to be for rare circumstances. Is anyone surprised?

    I am actually a little surprised. I thought there might be enough of a humanitarian outcry/backlash that they'd stop doing this, if for no other reason, political points.

    I’m not exactly sure of the point of this topic. Are you talking about legal immigration or illegal immigration?  There is a huge difference.  Immigration itself can’t be lumped into one broad post without defining what immigration you are asking about.  That is if you are interested in actually talking about issues and problems.
    What ? Yes we all know immigration needs reform ! Are you ok with kids dying in captivity? Are you ok with kids sleeping on the ground with tin foil blankets etc etc are you ok with separating kids from parents? All easy ?s you are either ok with it or your not ..
    There's currently like 52,000 migrants in "captivity." I put captivity in quotations because...are they "captured?" Or are they allowed to turn and go back? I ask that seriously because I don't know the answer. And nobody wants to see kids sleeping on the ground in tin foil blankets. But what is the US government to do? Give immediate free room and board to every migrant seeking asylum? They can't do that. But the migrants keep coming and coming. And now there's no room for them all, and that's why there are pictures of kids sleeping on ground.

    The separation of kids and families is moronic. I don't think they're doing that anymore (though I'm not sure), but the damage is already done. Many of those kids that were separated from their families around the time of the mid-term election will never see their families again. That's horrible.

    Children are still being separated from their families. The Trump administration is exploiting loopholes that were meant to be for rare circumstances. Is anyone surprised?
    I am actually a little surprised. I thought there might be enough of a humanitarian outcry/backlash that they'd stop doing this, if for no other reason, political points. 

    If you read the article, you can see that Nielsen reports that they stopped doing it because there was no political percentage in it; not because it was vile and inhumane, but because it wasn't politically useful. And yet, the practice continues, under the guise of "protecting children".

    Certainly not as much discussion, but I do see articles about it. The numbers have gone down, and I suspect that most people, like you, thought it wasn't occurring any more.

    The left is getting exhausted trying to make the right do the right thing.

    It might be the time for Trump voters such as yourself to try and hold your representatives to account. That might actually do something, they sure don't give a fuck what anyone on the left thinks.

    Funny to see Trump admit he's not building any new all but just renovating the current one this morning...I wonder if he even realizes what he tweeted

    The left has offered plenty of plans for immigration reform, some of it bi-partisan (Flake and others). 

    Your boys McConnell and Trump have no interest to getting a deal done as shown by their actions.

    This is a manufactured crisis by design, as has been shown here on this thread many times. Maybe you just aren't paying attention?

    So, are you with me in holding the current administrations feet to the fire? They've had 2+ years to fix this problem and its only gotten exponentially worse.
