Right, but separating children from traffickers was something that even Obama was on board with at the time.

As several officers testified, when they arrest an adult who has a child with them, it's standard practice to separate the child from the adult until it can be proven that the adult it actually the legal guardian of the child.

This is true for a domestic arrest or for illegals crossing the border and that's been the policy for decades.

That is not what Trump did, and is not what the US is being sued for doing.

And now we are going to give them money.

I remember that time that you, Aaron, and I were all sneaking across the
border with our families and the Bad Orange Man separated us from them,
don't you? I still haven't found mine yet.

To settle a lawsuit. The lawsuit is not over temporary separations for the safety of children; it is over permanent separation of families. The Trump administration sent the children off to live with other families and lost
track of them. Trump never had any intention of reuniting them, because this policy was intended as a warning to others.

Or, wecould just let them win the lawsuit, since our own DOJ Inspector General's report said that what Trump did was over the line.

There are families that have not been reunited, years later.

It's different when the policy is lauded as a deterrent to future immigrants and open-ended. If a police department treated a child involved with a parents' crime by subjecting them to conditions similar to what border crossing children experience, heads would roll.

The "root cause" is really congressional re-districting, and the name
of the game is "fill 'er up." Nothing could ever be more important than power.

I think you have that right. The Left likes to play the long game.
1. Let illegals in.
2. Distribute them to areas that don't vote Left.
3. Push to give them the right to vote (starting at the local level and working up to the Federal elections).
4. Viola: Left voting majority across the board.

That all seems correct, but even if they just succeed in the redistricting, they will feel like it was worth it.

I predict that the puppeteers will be disappointed when they discover that illegals won't comply with the census bureau.

We need to warn the illegals that "the census workers are trying to get you deported, so just refuse to fill out their forms, and you'll be ok."

of our liberal friends here ignore it because they'd rather feel at peace with the media.

Most of the Leftie fiends (oops, I mean "friends") here are simply too ignorant to understand what their masters are doing.

Yes, I try to explain stuff, then they get all bitchy and start talking about Trump just about every time. For every bad thing Democrats do, their followers have a protocol for defending it in a confused and distracted way.

"Joe may have killed children in Afghanistan, and many more along the border, but Trump cheated on his wife and lied about it, plus he's a puppet for Russia."
