Didn't low skilled immigrants do a lot of worx onda railroads across America inda 19th century? I remember vaguely some historian claiming that low skill immigration usually paved the way for the following generations to climb up the ladder in things like education, income etc....that doesn't mean to ignore problems, but this guy had the strange idea that those aren't solved by policy based on broad-sweeping generalizations.
No, I don't have a cite ready. Maybe I just dreamed it.Blah

Who believes the detention centers are basically summer camps?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

The exact same thing is happening to these parents who have been arrested and jailed pending their criminal prosecution. So how is that different? If a family member or sponsor is found then the mi its go with them or failing that to foster care. Now treating them like we treat citizen criminal defenders is inhumane? I have a bridge to sell you if you think that is true.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

In fact, they look a lot like public schools with beds and sleeping areas and I certainly survived with worse in the military.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Here is what I don't get about this and maybe you can explain it to me. When anyone is arrested and jailed pending a criminal prosecution in the U.S. do they get to bring their kids with them to jail? I would say, no, that is far from a routine practice. If I had a kid and was a single parent and I got arrested on a criminal violation I would be sent to jail and my child would go to Child Protective Services unless a family member or sponsor could be located. Failing that foster care.

The immigration laws in our country are the ****ed up progeny of racism/xenophobia and economic fallacy. Blindly repeating, “it’s the law” ignores the entire argument ... that the laws are ****ed up. (Doubly so because we also caused many of the problems these people are fleeing from.)
I’m ashamed that those who welcome me, a foreigner, with open arms ... are demonized and shunned by my own country. I’m ashamed of you.

Even the conservative newspaper I read is calling the practice deplorable. (sound familiar)
When the right starts making noise about it you can expect two things.
First, Trump will blame the democrats. Which he has already.
Two, Trump will eventually backtrack on this and then take credit for his greatness. I predict within a week.
And then all the moron trumpists will bow down to his greatness and all the original blame will be forgotten and they will claim it as another of Trump's successes.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
