Senate Democrats Push National Catch-and-Release Bill
Breitbart ^ | 18 Jul 18 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/19/2018 7:11:40 AM PDT by xzins

Senate Democrats are rallying behind a “family reunification” bill which promises a policy of catch-and-release for nearly all migrants who bring their children over the border.

The bill would allow the migrant parents to stay in the United States until their children’s legal pleas are finally resolved. That legal stay could last for several years if the courts’ existing two-year backlog of 700,000 cases is increased by many migrants eager to accept the Democrats’ catch-and-release invite.

The Reunite Every Unaccompanied Newborn Infant, Toddler and Other Children Expeditiously (REUNITE) Act, is sponsored by California Sen. Kamala Harris, Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, and Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto. The bill is needed, they say, to stop President Donald Trump from sending migrants’ children to government shelters so their parents can be detained until their immigration and asylum cases are heard.

The bill “would require the Trump administration to immediately reunite separated children with their parents, ensure that separated children have access to legal counsel … [and ensures] families are not detained as they pursue legal avenues of relief,” said Cortez Masto.

“This is the reason I brought a minor with me,” said Guillermo T., 57, a construction worker who recently arrived in Arizona. Facing unemployment at home in Guatemala, he decided to head north; he had been told that bringing his 16-year-old daughter would assure passage. He asked that only his first named be used to avoid consequences with his immigration case.

“She was my passport,” he said of his daughter.

The bill would also bar the use of DNA technology to verify migrants’ claim to be parents of the children and would redirect funds from enforcement programs to fund the extra immigration inflow.

True.

That’s also why the dems and neocons want war. War anger is the fastest way to social change and revolution.

They really do want war with Russia, in my opinion.

Never let a crisis go to waste, and they then create the crisis, make a group the enemy and ten their voters fall for it every time. One only has to see social media in how usually left wing women fall for the trap after watching their media, and then get on social media all upset.

ooohhh,oooohhh, oooohhh!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Democrats, make this a key campaigning point for midterm elections.

The “no DNA testing” idea is pure suicide swill. Just when I think the Dems can’t be any more “over-the-top”, they prove me wrong.

Until the Ryan party gets moving, we had better be emailing this stuff to everyone we know.

The midterms are just around the corner.

We cannot lose the House or Senate to these worse than communist evil people

US Marines must invade Central America, provide the way for a US governor general and put and to the invasions.

The issue is not kumbaya for children but raather the national security fron untold hordes of undesirable human detrutus.

There’s plenty of material, and in their own words no less. But we might have to rely on technically-inclined patriots to produce quality ads that are informative and easily understood.

I’m not talented in that way, but I’m able to take part in spreading them around.

I’m all for.

Catch and release...on the other side of the border.

- Not ‘detained’
- Not ‘separated’
- No ‘DNA test’ involved

Just start pitching their asses back across, after photo/fingerprints/etc. obtained.

Let the ACLU/DOJ lawyers work out of country to ‘assist’

CHILDREN, least alone aliens, don’t have ‘legal pleas’\time of the courts (The Left’s ‘children’ vs. ‘adult’ vs. ‘contracts/obligations’ criteria changes w/ the wind)

Yes, Kamala, new born infants and toddlers found their way from Guatamala all the way to CA. It’s called the butt scoot route.

They want war. Any war. But war with Russia would be the biggest distraction for them to be able to do their dirty work. Why should they care if their children are vaporized in a mushroom cloud? It’s just late term abortion to them. They would reason who wants their children to live in a war? Upside down thinking.

Good luck with this RATS. I predict President Trump is keeping his veto pen warmed up in the unlikely event this survives and eventually gets passed by the Senate and then gets passed by the House.

I agree. I email my list and ask them to forward and ask their email and social media friends to forward as well. It’s surprising how many thousands then see whatever the information is.

The issue for the Democrats is that their politics of pitting minority groups against each other to gain support has hit the stops or is coming close to it.

It became most apparent recently when the charter schools in New York City were discriminating against Asian students in head to head competition with black students.

This is just a microcosm of the problem they face. Pretty soon, when you pit enough people against each other, the snake begins eating their own tail.

They need a fresh population to pit against others, a population that can vote and give the Left power.

That population is a free influx of illegal immigrants who would be given (if they had their way) the right to vote.

That is their goal. They need fresh meat, and unrestricted immigration gives them that.
