Now We Deport Them – We Kill Them

That seems to be the clear message of this Aljazeera piece. Another attempt to open our borders and flood us with immigrants? And, they make sure you know the man in the story was an innocent, deported for only minor infractions. And then comes this:


Denied political asylum by the U.S. in the 1980s and 1990s, Central Americans like Miranda faced a stark choice: Live in the U.S. as undocumented immigrants or return to the danger of their homelands. Some young men from poor families went on to found the Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street gangs in the U.S., only to be deported to Central America, where they established a gang culture that had no precedent in the region.


So the terrible gang situation is Central America is OUR fault?

Judge Orders ‘Prompt’ Release of 1,700 Illegal Children and Their Moms from Detention Centers
July 27, 2015 | Citing a 1997 court settlement on housing illegal immigrant children in U.S. custody, a federal judge in California ruled on Friday that the illegal alien minors and their mothers who were caught crossing the border illegally and are in the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers should get “prompt” release.

The 25-page decision stated that the Obama administration “shall make and record prompt and continuous efforts toward family reunification and the release of the minor.” In the ruling in the Jenny L. Flores v. Jeh Johnson case, Judge Dolly M. Gee of the Federal District Court in California chastised the Obama administration for not having proper protocol in place for housing the roughly 1,700 women and children in ICE custody in two Texas detention centers, according to DHS, which provided the number to CNSNews.com. “The Court has considered in detail the evidence Defendants presented of the deterrent effect of the detention policy and finds the evidence distinctly lacking in scientific rigor,” the ruling stated.

Gladys Pina, 30, from Honduras holds her 8-month old baby girl at a respite center run by Catholic Charities in McAllen, Texas.

“It is astonishing that Defendants have enacted a policy requiring such expensive infrastructure without more evidence to show that it would be compliant with an Agreement that has been in effect for nearly 20 years or effective at achieving what Defendants hoped it would accomplish,” the decision stated. “It is even more shocking that after nearly two decades Defendants have not implemented appropriate regulations to deal with this complicated area of immigration law,” the ruling stated. The 18-year-old class action lawsuit spelled out how children caught at the border were to be treated, but Gee ruled it also extends to those children’s mothers.

The judge’s decision stems from a lawsuit that was filed in February by attorneys Peter Schey and Carlos Holguin of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law in Los Angeles. “I think this spells the beginning of the end for the Obama administration’s immigrant family detention policy,” Schey, president of the Center for Human Rights, is quoted as saying in a July 25 article on the decision in the New York Times. “A policy that just targets mothers with children is not rational and it’s inhumane.” “We are disappointed with the court’s decision and are reviewing it in consultation with the Department of Justice,” Marsha Catron, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said in the Times article.

Put our troops on the border and close it once and for all.

Put our troops on the border and close it once and for all.

We're not going to "close" the border. Any real ideas?
