Thank God for terrific reporting re Trump’s deliberate en masse jailing of children as a policy to intimidate immigrants from Central America.
Despite the deplorable sentiments of some Americans/posters here, America’s better angels will help us find the higher ground as a nation.

The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, failed to do proper background checks of adults who claimed the children, allowed sponsors to take custody of multiple unrelated children, and regularly placed children in homes without visiting the locations, according to a 56-page investigative report released Thursday.
And once the children left federally funded shelters, the report said, the agency permitted their adult sponsors to prevent caseworkers from providing them post-release services.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) initiated the six-month investigation after several Guatemalan teens were found in a dilapidated trailer park near Marion, Ohio, where they were being held captive by traffickers and forced to work at a local egg farm.
...
“It is intolerable that human trafficking — modern-day slavery — could occur in our own backyard.... What makes the Marion cases even more alarming is that a U.S. government agency was responsible for delivering some of the victims into the hands of their abusers...their 'adult sponsors' [called "parents" by today's "free press"].”

Inside cages? No outrage?
Life is really unfair, huh?
I gather President Obama had the press on his payroll.
Facts used to matter.
The Obama Administration does not have pristine hands on this front, but the policies and practices of the two administrations are in stark contrast.

I'll be using Baron and Cole as quintessential examples of the power of propaganda and confirmation bias. They are just stunning examples of how well propaganda actually works.

Trump knew as much about this as Obama did when caging happened under him. That was the point. You could easily have been Peter Strzok.
completely unacceptable and unnecessary to treat people like animals in separating them from their children. That's simply abhorrent behavior by anyone in power. There are way too many people on the Right who seem to get a sense of glee out of beating a crippled dog.
I've raised my sons to respect women and to step in and speak out when the weak are being preyed upon. Only a coward preys on the vulnerable.
his day as well. His first - and correct - inclination when he was made aware was to call on congress to pass a quick fix. When it became clear that this would be impossible since the Dems wanted the issue to stay in the forefront and thus would claim that it wasn't perfect in their eyes (and they always get the MSM support on coverageof this), he then did what he preferred not to which was to sign an EO. (I fully expect the Libs to come back to this down the road and call trump a dictator for signing the EO that they were actually screaming for this week so remember this).
Of course, the irrational Trump haters assume that Trump HAD TO KNOW about the whole thing because he is so bad. (sigh).
In the meantime, you guys allow yourselves from having to notice that the body of the IG report reveals that the IC was actively trying to bring Trump down and that the Clinton investigation was fixed and the Mueller investigation was a set up, and that their IS actually a Deep State.
Orange is one busy dude.

he did. How do you explain that Baron?
he will go the way of BO. I hope you enjoy the other EO's to come.
BTW, Obama said the exact same thing before going down this raod himself - though he had no pressure from the other side to do so. Shall I link the video, or am i correct to assume you don't read or watch information that contradicts your worldview?

Still a long way to go in this fight.
En masse detention of families without resources for counsel and swift due process is equally horrific.
You have presented yourself as a justice warrior. That means you are expected to step up to the plate. Why on earth would you consider the poor immigrants not having "resources" as an impediment to obtaining counsel? Or is it really about the politics and the money?
