FULL TITLE: Trump administration was warned of ‘traumatic psychological injury’ from family separations, official says

What other country in the world provides illegal aliens with air-conditioned tents, three hot nutritious meals a day plus snacks & beverages, teachers, full medical and dental care, social workers, sports, video games, recreation and so much more?

But taking your kid on the run and crossing a border illegally risking their lives the whole way plus risking being separated by the authorities, that’s not a problem.

Riiiight. And we are all aware of the highly successful triumphs of the psychological profession. There is...uh.....and also.....um.....never mind. Richard Feynman had a hierarchy of the sciences: Physics is applied mathematics. 
Chemistry is applied physics.
 Biology is applied chemistry.
 Psychology is a bunch of witch doctors So, of course, a Democrat nothing will quote that profession.

I hope the separations get resolved and families be reunited.

Notice though how liberals do not make note of the outpouring of drugs coming in from across the border and the traumas the trade has imposed on millions of Americans.

Or the children trafficked across the border...

Or the thousands upon thousands of homeless people sleeping in tents in cities like L.A. — a crisis largely connected to California’s sanctuary state policies which favors addressing the needs and whims of illegal immigrants over the needs of those struggling within our borders.

Or the American children and parents of all races whose livelihoods are being compromised for paying their share into a system that unduly benefits those who take advantage by being here against the law.

Liberals never point out post traumatic abortion stress...or the fact that transgender people have a higher rate of clinical depression.

But they aren’t hesitant in their desire to separate member of the Trump administration or his election team from their families.

Then what about separating families due to arrests for failing to pay traffic fines?!?

Keep them together, drop them off on the other side of the border. Rejected. Simple.

But, the law and the busybody judges wont allow that.

I don’t care WHAT injuries-—physical or ginned-up “mental”-—these illegal criminal invaders incur. THEY made the decision to sneak into our country, bring their children with them, and cross some dangerous country in brutally hot weather-—not me. Instead of catering to them in every way, feeding them hot meals, giving them medical care, etc., they should be summarily thrown right back over the border, after being tattooed as having crossed the border illegally. I find myself not giving a 1/4 of a darn about their mental health, recreational needs, food preferences or ANYTHING. The insane catering to their every need makes us a laughingstock among other countries, who would jail these pieces of garbage and then either throw them back across the border, imprison, or shoot them.

How about the family separation of a victim caused by illegal aliens?

We’ll see if POTUS was serious about shutting down administrative government until/unless he gets a Wall and favorable law.

While I believe it would split the Republican party, I don’t think there would be enough traitors to override a veto.

Because each and every one of them that do, will cease to be a political entity.

80-90% of Republican VOTERS will support Trump for at least a 3 month shutdown. Most of them for 6 months.

The pussies in Congress, not so much.

If our border were secure, the rate of illegal alien children being separated from their illegal alien parents would drop precipitously. As would the rate of poor children being sold to coyotes who deliver them into the slave trade (aka human trafficking).

Of course, as is the case with every leftist “issue”, the issue is only useful as the means to an end, the end being the glorious socialist revolution.

A top health official told lawmakers Tuesday that the Trump administration was warned about instituting “any policy” resulting in family separations because of the effects such separations could have on the wellbeing of immigrant children.

Why are there no such concerns for the children of people who commit other crimes? If a criminal robs someone, he or she will be jailed and forcibly separated from his/her children - according to this top health official, presumably the children should be kept with the criminal parent in jail. Or do these special rules only apply to lawbreakers who choose to violate immigration law?

We must do away with no-fault divorce (for the children):

The first modern no-fault divorce law was enacted in Russia in December 1917 following the October Revolution of the same year. Regarding marriage as a bourgeois institution, the new government transferred divorce jurisdiction from the Russian Orthodox Church to the state courts, which could grant it on application of either spouse. A new family code was passed in 1926.

With a law adopted in 1969, California became the first U.S. state to permit no-fault divorce. California's law was framed on a roughly contemporaneous effort of the non-governmental organization National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, which began drafting a model of no-fault divorce statute for states to consider in 1967.

Psychology is an English major without a job realizing she made a huge mistake in college.
