Immigrants are NOT separated, ILLEGAL immigrants are under zero tolerance Your original statement made it sound like DNA testing is required for all legal immigrants. That's definitely not standard practice. It's hard to meet the standard required when your documentation is taken from you. Quote “When these families come in, Customs and Border Protection takes away the documents from parents and puts them in their file,” Garcia said. “In the cases where they’ve been separated from their children, ORR then says, ‘You’re going to need to provide the documents that CBP took.’” And when the immigrants can’t, Garcia said, ORR tells parents they must take a DNA test.

Larry Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 36 minutes ago, twa said: kidnapped? Kidnapped. Forcibly removing one's child, and then demanding that the parent pay (or perform some other act) if they ever want to see their child again. It's a stretch. But less of one that your attempts to paint this as a pre-existing procedure by pointing at the procedure for parents wishing to receive entry documents for children who they can't document.

No one is going to cover the cost of a dna test. Even if the government paid extra for it, contractors would still try to get those people to pay for it. If you think I’m exaggerating, go to an immigrant detention center and ask the people there about how they’re nickel and dimed while detained. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hadn't entered illegally the situation would be different. Breaking the law does put a crimp on things for poor folk. I'd be fine with detaining them as a family unit ....a certain judge isn't. added I'll agree the govt should meet the burden of proving they entered illegally BEFORE obeying the court order to place the kids elsewhere while we sort out the mess they caused.

If someone hangs a flier where they shouldn’t and our government drops a bomb on the neighborhood, no one would be saying “well if they hadn’t posted that flier illegally...” In this instance the government is actively harming children because they are not equipped to carry out an immigration strategy they’ve chosen. What they are doing is worse than what they are seeking to solve. Hurting children in this manner is worse, significantly, than overstaying a visa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Most of these are not being separated for overstaying visas, nor for hanging flyers. Separating them from their children is something the court and the legislature need to address......you might note the govt's position remains that they will be separated due to the court ruling AND zero tolerance. Quote Stewart told Sabraw that the government read the two orders together — Sabraw's reunification order and Gee's order keeping the Flores agreement intact — to mean that parents in immigration detention would be given a choice: Either agree to waive their child's right to release under the Flores agreement and stay together in custody, or agree to release their child to ORR, where they'd be placed in licensed, nonsecure facilities or possibly released to an eligible sponsor. However, the government did not read the orders together to give parents any right to themselves be released, Stewart said. The attorney general had authority to decide who should be held, Stewart said, and Sabraw and Gee's orders did not require the release of parents if the government decided it had lawful authority to hold them. If Sabraw disagreed with the government's position, Stewart said, the government was prepared to pursue an emergency appeal. Fabian previously told Sabraw that families reunited Tuesday would be released from custody, but Stewart's comments signaled that the administration plans to hold reunified families going forward. American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Lee Gelernt, who represents separated parents in Sabraw's case, said they agreed with the government's interpretation of the two orders. Gelernt said he wished the Flores agreement went farther and did require the release of a parent along with their child, but it did not. The two sides said they would jointly file a request with Sabraw to confirm their interpretation of his order. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/the-governments-struggle-to-reunify-children-with-their?utm_term=.xy13JxdwB#.fuPP2dNAb Edited July 11, 2018 by twa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is over staying your visa somehow less bad than hoping for a successful asylum claim? Speaking of which here we have another example squeezing desperate immigrants. They took his daughter to Chicago, and if he wants her back he come up with $1250. Quote Honduran immigrant Christian Granados has been separated from his 5-year-old daughter Cristhy for more than a month after they were detained in El Paso, Texas, attempting to enter the U.S. She was taken to a holding facility in Chicago, while he was released pending an asylum request on June 24. He has been in the midst of one bureaucratic hassle after another in trying to get his daughter back, responding to intermittent requests for identification documents and biographical information from government social workers who are attending to his daughter. Granados sought out a suitable home to help reclaim his child by moving in with relatives in Fort Mill, S.C. — but now fears he won't be able to afford airfare for his girl to be reunited with him. He said authorities requested $1,250 to fly her from Chicago. https://apnews.com/4cb60fc06ca34160bf7445fdc1f47eed And that’s one of the lucky ones. The rest of the article details children dragged into court after their parents have already been deported. Some parents were told that they’d have to accept deportation if they wanted their kids back, which is a seriously dirty way to get someone to abandon their efforts to gain legal status, and then deported them without their kids anyway.

IF I get caught I will claim asylum seems a bit too far to me,especially for those paying to be smuggled in.....they ain't lost and wandering.
