The latest crisis is kids whose parents brought them them to our border because they think Biden will let them in. For political reasons, knuckle-dragging JPP leftists will blame Trump, so read this and counter their shrill, emotional protests with the facts:
When aliens are caught illegally crossing the border and then claim asylum they put themselves into the situation of being prosecuted for illegal entry. They are then separated from their children because of a Clinton-era legal settlement.
There is a lot of blame to share.
That includes alien parents themselves, as well as the courts and immigration policies foolishly created by the Obama administration and resurrected wholesale by his minions who are running the country once more.
The perverse incentives in those policies have endangered the lives and safety of children and helped fund the Mexican cartels that run human trafficking and drug smuggling networks on our southern border.
Here are the facts:
- In 1997, the Clinton administration entered into a settlement agreement in Flores v. Reno, a lawsuit filed in federal court in California by pro-illegal immigration advocacy groups challenging the detention of juvenile aliens taken into custody by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
- The Clinton administration agreed to settle this litigation despite the fact the Supreme Court had upheld the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulation that provided for the release of minors only to their parents, close relatives, or legal guardians.
- The Flores agreement allows the agency to detain unaccompanied minors for only “20 days before releasing them to the Department of Health and Human Services which places the minors in foster or shelter situations until they locate a sponsor.”
- But in a controversial decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, at the time the most liberal in the country, interpreted the settlement agreement to apply to “both minors who are accompanied and unaccompanied by their parents.”
- In other words, it was the 9th Circuit’s interpretation of the Clinton administration’s settlement agreement that doesn’t allow juvenile aliens to stay with their parents who have been detained for unlawful entry into the country.
Those who come here illegally with kids are to blame for their children being assigned to foster care. If those parents would return to - or stay in - their home countries, they would be immediately reunited with their children.
This issue should be kept in perspective. No justice system can refuse to arrest, prosecute, and jail foreigners who violate laws because they have children.
Of course, the Biden regime’s defenders know about the
Flores settlement, and the goal of their propaganda war is to stop all detentions, and return to the “catch and release” policies of the failed Obama administration.
