Zero Tolerance Against Illegal Immigration Unleashes Strong Criticisms

in criminology •  6 years ago 

The United States of America has recently implemented a Zero Tolerance Policy against Illegal Immigration. However, some procedures used have received strong criticism that have crossed borders. The most sensitive point has been the separation of the minors from their parents and the imprisonment of the same in detention centers while the adults are deported to their countries of origin. This time it is immigrants, mostly from Honduras and Guatemala who flee the violence that exists in these countries and seek a better future for their children.

Defenders of Human Rights accuse directly the President of the United States, Donald Trump, for the decision taken on April 6, 2018 to apply a Zero Tolerance Policy for the purpose of criminally prosecuting every immigrant, or asylum seeker , that arrives in the United States of America illegally from the Mexican border. They claim that the separation of thousands of children from their parents has generated Irreparable Psychological Damage.

Makes me wonder why we ever tolerated something illegal. Also makes me wonder how it is not the parents fault for subjecting their children to being smuggled into another country.
