It makes me sick. They are using what they did to these children as a PR stunt. She's going to hug some babies and show that everything's ok when nothing could be further from the truth. It's actually worse. She's going to hug babies and send secret messages to white supremacists that she actually doesn't give a shit. This can't be real. I... wow. just, wow. |

@icedtea I had posted this in February- an asylum seekers from the Congo came to a port of entry and immediately asked for asylum. She and her daughter were separated for months. They've since been reunited but it appears only after the ACLU filed a lawsuit and some politicians got involved. they were separated for over 4 months. so this shows this policy was slowly going into effect before we realized it. www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/huppke/ct-met-aclu-lawsuit-immigration-family-chicago-huppke-20180227-story.htmlAlso it is inaccurate that to seek asylum you have to immediately present at a port of entry. You have one year to do so from your entry into the US. You can e ven apply for asylum during deportation oroceedings if you entered illegally and we're subsequently detained. Further, even Kiersten Nielson said that people are being turned away from legal points of entry. She said they were told to return when there were beds available, yet they are building new jails for kids, so not sure how this claim holds up. How exactly are people supposed to enter the process legally if we don't even allow them to enter? And lastly, we just removed two of the reasons people can use to claim asylum, domestic abuse and gang violence. Putting aside that our country has caused much of the destabilization that led to the gang violence these people are fleeing, we are making it very hard for people who are truly suffering to even try to claim asylum. I want to clarify: if you are in removal proceedings, you can't apply for asylum. But if you merely entered illegally, you are allowed to apply. www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum/questions-and-answers-asylum-eligibility-and-applicationsSo damn confusing because the same website is where I got that info- in the defensive asylum proceeding section. www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum/obtaining-asylum-united-states |

@heartbot that's so frustrating though because then assume someone can read English, doesn't have an attorney, they might see the section you did and miss the window for asylum because they think they will get deported. Our immigration is too damn complicated.

and Mike Burgess tells the story of an undocumented immigrant who struck and killed a teenager as a reason to shut down asylum. Ass. More toddlers kill people with guns than undocumented immigrants. I mean... This is true. I proved it last week. |

For an administration that only cared about the optics......FLOTUS does not seem to care about the optics.
I just, the fucking stupidity, and nerve of these fuckheads. I continue to be flabbergasted but I don't know why.

Wouldn’t 2 months ago be when this policy was first stated and they had already began collecting children? They've been collecting children on a smaller scale since last fall. Right, but I wonder if they decided “nah” once they realized this was going to be getting out of control with zero tolerance announced 2 months ago. Because at that point, wasn’t the number closer to 75? |

Melania is expert level troll with that. She'd never shop at Zara on purpose otherwise.
Don't get distracted by that... Trying to distract us from the fact that they have no idea where these kids are, nor do they care.

Early FFFC by two hours East coast time: since this immigration atrocity reached fever pitch, I've been letting the baby sleep with us. She just woke up saying, "Nononono no." She was having a bad dream.
It took me less than ten seconds to comfort her.
What's the similar story for kids whose parents have been deported?
