I hope he really does reverse course on this policy, but fuck him and Sessions and everyone else involved in making it policy in the first place. I still hope that none of them will be able to enjoy Mexican food ever again. #pettyangry

From what I'm reading, the executive order will allow families to be detained together.......... indefinitely. So it circumvents the Flores settlement, which states children can't be detained for more than 20 days.
So, I mean. On the one hand, families won't be split up. On the other, indefinite detention is not a fucking solution. 🤦♀️
Asylum seekers don't have to be detained while their claims are processed. Seeking asylum is not illegal.

There's still a fight to be had here. They should not be detaining asylum seekers at all.

Have any other Canadians in a conservative riding heard from your MP? Very curious to hear how they’re responding. The reply from my MP is causing a small stir on Twitter. I have not heard from mine yet. But I watched a clip of her talking on it yesterday and it was very - but I’d get rid of this, then we’ll get way more asylum seekers and how will we pay for those? Which reminded me of that old far side cartoon where there are like two men on a desert island and one of them has food and is saying to the other one “if I share with you, then I’ll have to share with everyone else”. So. I’m mentally preparing myself for a response.

Holy shit, elle. These children have a potential lifetime of suffering ahead of them. I would like to request the keys to Hell so I can drop all who orchestrated and carried out these horrific acts. Fuck them all.

I’m glad your MP’s reply is causing a stir, it should get people angry at his response. Meanwhile my Liberal MP has yet to respond.

Fuck Trump supporters. I hate them all and I will never forget their actions during this time. They will forever be ruined for me.
My two year old's daycare teacher is from Colombia and her husband is from Mexico. We've had a few conversations about it before and talked about it today about how infuriating this is, especially when people say they should just come here legally. She said that it took each of them years before they were able to gain citizenship and that was a few years ago. She said that as parents of two young boys this hits too close to home. This is one of the big pieces that Republicans won't try to understand. She posted on Facebook about donating to RAICES, which I did last night.

Yeah, this is messed up. He's using legislation that was supposed to stop Nazis from hiding out here and pushing his own racist agenda.

No matter the order he signs or the bill Republicans pass, this admin is still going to categorize any migrant trying to come to the Untied States as a criminal. When you use words like infest, breeding, animals to describe human beings, most of which are families with children running for their life, you won't stop.
He is only signing this order because of the optics, we all know that.
Keep up the pressure on your senators and reps and don't stop.

Our elected officials need to be better. We are better.

Does anyone have a script that I can use for writing letters using Resistbot? I'm not the best at these things and I don't want to miss any important points.

I heard back today from an email on Monday. It wasn't my MP himself, but some kind of staffer. It doesn't really say anything, except asking for my phone number in case the MP wants to discuss further. C&P here: Thank you for including M.P. Genuis in your message along with the Prime Minister, and for taking the time to thoughtfully express your concerns on the troubling situation in the U.S. Your concerns are passed on to Mr Genuis, of course. As a constituent, he is open to hearing from you directly. If you are interested in speaking to him about this further on the phone, please provide a phone number that is best for him to reach you.

jorkzy, I keep reading that as M.P. Genius. I would have a very hard time not accidentally saying or writing that. Lame that he doesn't seem to respond to e-mail himself. He probably doesn't want to respond to anything in writing lest it be shared all over social media or something.
