As far as I can tell, illegal immigrant families have been separated for many years. It's just that some Presidents like G.W. Bush and Obama had problems with it, although the practice was enforced. People are sentenced to prison every day, and are separated from their families and children. No tears for them. They made their choice. These illegal immigrants knowingly violate U.S. Law by entering this country, so they shouldn't be whining about being separated from their families.

Here's an article I found that gives some info on the practice:

Separation of Immigrant Families Was Part of Deportation Under Obama

I know when my father and his family came to the U.S. in 1912 from Holland, and disembarked at Ellis Island, the men/boys were sent to one area, and the women/daughters sent to another area to be evaluated, and medically examined. My father had two brothers, so they all went with their father. That meant my grandmother was separated from the rest of her family until they were all cleared.

This was posted a while ago, but no one seems to have noticed it: The Truth about Separating Kids.

According to this article, children can be separated if there is no family relation to the adults, or of there is reason to believed the children are in danger such as child trafficking. Due to 1997 Flores consent decree, ICE can only hold minor for 20 days, period. Since children can not be legally held as long as adults, they are placed under HHS custody. Unless congress changes the law and there is a challenge that goes through he Federal courts, after 20 days children will have to be taken away form their families no matter what other policies are in place.

Also, back in 2016, the Supreme Court doomed Obama’s immigration policy because the vote was tied 4-4. Under the proposal, adults in the United States illegally could remain if they meet certain residency requirements and have children who are American citizens or lawful permanent residents. It would also expand another program, now in effect, that allows young people to stay in the country if they were brought here under age 16.

The bill that the President signs will stop chain migration of extended family members, end the diversity lottery and get the wall built among other things.

The trolls who argue with fallacies and vulgar insults against President Trump’s decision are in favor of continuing immigration law as passed under the Bush and Obama administrations instead of tightening up against the flood (as the President and some members of Congress are doing). Several have even stated as much in this thread.

They’re open borders Libertarians. They’re globalists. They’re coastal free traitors. They’re Hillary’s voters. They love the incrementalism that brought the flood and hate any incremental move against it.

O’Muslim did it. He is the one who put the kids in the dog kennels. He’s going straight to hell, not passing go, not collecting 200 dollars, just straight to hell.

"Just watched a FOX News crawl state directly “President Trump falsely stated democrats caused the separation of families at the border, despite ....” Directly called the president a liar. Who’s writing this stuff?"

There are many coastal and northeastern state business interests that are very attached to big imports, foreign labor and foreign relatives. Fox News is in or near New York and heavily sponsored by free traitors and slave interests, if I remember correctly. Fox News is conflicted between those sponsors (who want to push President Trump out of office) and viewers who want to see policies more pro-American again (to make America great again).

So yes, we're seeing much obfuscation and projection from the media now (and from anti-Trump infiltrators, many of them long term lurkers).

It is the same policy in the criminal justice system, yet the Left feels that these people coming in deserve special circumstances for crossing illegally.

And apparently so does our Bishop here in Tucson.

Here is a corollary to this saga

If Mrs DoodleBob and I were scofflaws and were pondering illegally entering Lichtenstein and thought the likelihood of us being separated from the little DoodleBobs was high, I think we'd stay at home.

To be fair, this threat of separation was small under the Obama regime. And, to be sure, a parent may face a Hobson's choice in staying in, say, North Korea vs risking separation. I get it.

But Mexico isn't NK - it's not a sh**hole, remember? And Trump has been around for about 18 months. So...The question not being asked is: what does it say about the parents, that they're willing to risk separation from their flesh and blood, in breaking the law?

Jeff Sessions and his cabal could tell you. I believe it is a concocted narrative to make republicans look heartless in the fall. Sessions ignores the outrageous crimes of Hillary Clinton and lets Mueller and the FBI ruin lives yet he makes a stand on this? And a LOUD stand, even going so far as to quote scripture to back it up. It’s quite a script. And the media will gladly play their role.

Look for the cries to only get louder. But you’ll probably never get a clear answer to your question.

It’s obvious Sessions is in #sabotage mode. Magoo couldn’t do more damage to the Trump presidency and America if he tried.

Your explanation makes perfect sense. It is the reality of the situation. What makes me angry is that with this forged in steel understanding, there are those who use red herring arguments to muddle the logic. This is what you get when the Democrat party wants to import voters. They are doubled down on this battle.

The President does not share your viewpoint and if you were to follow the QAnon posts as well as the numerous links provided here you might actually find you are wrong.

In retrospect I feel that either you are just stuck mentally or a troll who knowingly wants Sessions to give out info he is restricted from to blow the cases out out of the water. No one could be tried until the IG report came out and the full one of right behind it, then the criminal investigations and prosecutions begin. anyone touting to bring cases now is feeling the heat and wants Sessions gone to throw a wrench into the whole thing.

And last, you try and claim that he is damaging the President, news flash he works for DJT and it i his job to fire him if needed.

So put up, or shut up

If you haven’t figured out by now that the “trust sessions” “trust the ig” types on the internet ARE FULL OF SH!T, you’re mentally ill, drug addled or both.

The IG report was a COMPLETE WHITEWASH. No criminal referrals at all. Even if they made a criminal referral, the deep state compromised rat bastard leprechaun in charge of the DOJ wouldn’t act on it.

Btw...you know damn well why Trump doesn’t fire Jeff Sessions. Pull till ya hear a pop.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 made it easier to deport illegal aliens. While these aliens await their deportation hearing, they are held in detention. Their children are separated from their parents because the detention facilities are a hostile place for children. However, I did not find in the descriptions of this act any language prescribing the course of action for the children.

New Policy:

1.

1.The United States WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT ANY APPLICATIONS FOR CITIZENSHIP AT THE BORDER. Asylum seekers can file papers at any US Embassy IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY

2. Unaccompanied minors will be put on a bus and sent back to their home cities. Parents will be billed for the ticket.

Problem solved.
