The separation of families is heartbreaking. If only there was a solution...
Desperate Democrats Dismiss Trump’s Executive Order
DEROY MURDOCK June 22, 2018 NATIONAL REVIEW Trump’s decision to keep illegal-alien families intact still dissatisfies the Left. Yet again, Donald J. Trump’s foes will not take yes for an answer. I was fortunate to spend the last week in lovely, dry, sunny England and Wales. But even from across the puddle, it was impossible to escape the shrieks from President Trump’s critics regarding his policy of separating illegal-alien children from their illegal-alien parents who face prosecution for violating 8 U.S. Code § 1325: “Improper entry by alien.” Before Trump ran for president, Obama divided children from their parents and housed them in wire cages. This didn’t trigger even crickets from congenitally hypocritical liberals. But when Trump did the same thing, the Left’s psychological projection was shrill enough to shatter storefront windows. read more.

Jeremiah Poff / June 22, 2018 / DAILY SIGNAL Conservative Republican members of Congress are sharply criticizing their Democratic colleagues on immigration, accusing them of wanting to go back to so-called “catch and release” policies for illegal immigrants. “Only 19 percent of the American people support the Democrat position,” said Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, citing a new Economist/YouGov poll. “Catch and release” is the controversial practice where illegal immigrants are released from custody and told to show up to a court hearing at a designated later date. But Republicans contend that the vast majority do not appear for their hearings, which usually occur three to five years later. Labrador referenced the Economist/YouGov poll, conducted June 17-19 of 1,500 U.S. adults, at the monthly Conversations with Conservatives event on Capitol Hill. The poll also found that a majority of Americans supported keeping illegal immigrant families together, with 44 percent saying that those families should be detained together until a court hearing determined whether they would be allowed to stay in the United States, a practice that was put in place Wednesday by President Donald Trump via executive order. The poll also found that only 12 percent of Americans supported detaining parents and keeping their children in separate shelters, while 8 percent supported holding children in juvenile detention centers. “The vast majority of the American people understand that we have to have a zero-tolerance policy for people coming into the United States,” Labrador said, “but … what they want is to keep the families together while they’re being detained.” Labrador said that Republicans were trying to do what the American people want, and that “if you allow ‘catch and release’ to happen, you will see more children raped, more children murdered, more children die.” Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, also criticized Democrats, accusing them of not wanting to actually solve the issue of illegal immigration in an election year. They said that Democrats had given lip service to border security measures, but had shifted to an open borders position. Meanwhile, despite this week’s media coverage of immigration, President Donald Trump has maintained his job approval rating. A Morning Consult poll reports that “44 percent of registered voters approve of Trump, while 51 percent disapprove of him—little changed from a poll conducted before the uproar over the policy went into full swing.” read more |
