No, Mr. president, you are wrong again

Your family is threatened in your home country; you have to get out; you are told there is a place where you can be safe,;you believe this promise; you head north (because no one crosses the Northern border illegally), and upon arrival the children whose safety you seek are taken from you.

The Trump administration is increasing criminal prosecutions of parents entering the United States illegally, whereas in the past people apprehended crossing the border illegally were deported without being criminally charged, and will place their children in protective custody.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the policy was not new, the government was just expanding procedures already in place.

Thomas Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) explained,

“We have always separated families under two situations, one when we can’t establish them as a parent and that child is being trafficked.The second situation when we separate is when we prosecute. People are dying trying to enter this country. There is a right way to do and a wrong way to do it.”

Back in April, Sessions announced the “zero tolerance” policy in which illegal entrants to the United States would be prosecuted in federal court.

People will be stopped by the border patrol, taken to jail by the U.S. Marshals Service, and referred to a federal court to face charges. Meanwhile, their children will be placed in government custody, with the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

“If we do our duty to prosecute most cases, then children inevitably for a period of time might be held,” Sessions said.

In spite of taking credit for a low number of people attempting to cross the border, all that tough talk was supposed to be working, apprehensions are at the levels seen during the Obama administration.  “Illegal immigration must end!” Trump tweeted on Friday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has said that there have been about 30,000 prosecution referrals since the start of the 2018 fiscal year. That’s up from 18,642 prosecutions for the entire 2017 fiscal year.

Trump, of course, not being too up on history or facts, assuming no one else is either, explained things to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen during the roundtable on immigration policy in California held in the Cabinet Room of the White House on Wednesday,

“I know what you’re going through right now with families is very tough but those are the bad laws that the Democrats gave us. We have to break up families. The Democrats gave us that law. It’s a horrible thing where you have to break up families. The Democrats gave us that law and they don’t want to do anything about it. They’ll leave it like that ’cause they don’t want to make any changes. And now you’re breaking up families because of the Democrats. It’s terrible.”

But the reality is separating families was made by the Trump administration. There is no law that “the Democrats gave us”.

He seems to have no only confused the2008 law designed to combat child trafficking, which says a child traveling alone from countries other than Mexico or Canada must be released in the “least restrictive setting” while the case winds through immigration court, with a “catch-and-release” policy.

As president, George W. Bush signed that bill, passed unanimously by both houses of Congress, into law, and it says nothing about taking children from parents.

Since October, 700 children have been separated from their parents.
