Question of the Day - To Separate or Not To Separate Immigrant/Refugee/Asylum Seeking Families? [news][qod]

Well this is a very delicate issue you know even for any world leader really however the united states has always been a country taking in refugee as the are not in support of any form of inhumanity however if people are living illegally in my country if I were president, I can give them a chance to make it legal if they do not have any criminal record

Here in America the president does not have that power, congress would have to do that, any such order by the president would be illegal, just like the illegal DACA order that Trump rescinded.

yes, but in the mean time that they are filling out paperwork or doing whatever to get legal, they are usually by then in a detention center. So in the meantime, do you separate the families from their children or not and why?

If they didn't separate the children when they put the parents in jail then the headlines would be "Trump puts kids in adult jails!"

@funbobby51 It seems like you are more concerned about Trump's image than the families and the well being of their children.

Just like the media. Why do you think they suddenly care? If the families cared about their kids and did not want them in US taxpayer funded care facilities then they shouldn't bring them should they?

@funbobby51 First off, you mentioned the media and and even created a headline.
Secondly, you are implying that these families don't care when in fact they do care, and that is a given, but a better question is do you risk immigrating legally or illegally or risk staying and possible death or a miserable life for your child/children? The answer for most if not all knocking at the door seeking refuge is the former.

The problem here is they are not knocking, they are breaking in the back door. If you are a legit refugee or asylum seeker then you proceed directly to the nearest port of entry and declare your status. You don't hire a coyote to smuggle you in. Right?

Here is what I will agree to @funbobby51 and that is that it's "the game" creating all these "players."

I'll take it! consensus achieved! A lot of these child detainees were created intentionally, these kids are cash cows for the prison industry, they get between a few hundred and $1000 a day per child they house. In order to create many such detainees Obama announced that all unaccompanied minors would get amnesty so now we have a flood of unaccompanied minors for the prison industry to make money off.

Great job...

Yeah

well I don't think it's humane to separate them from their families, I'm utterly against it, something, anything other than this really, they can be detained yes, but seperation is not the way.
