I would not go so far.
But I will not be drawn into defending the actions of the parents or the lefties that encourage them to come.
What the right fails to recognize is that this current immigration issue isnt a "pull" problem, it is a "push" problem. They arent being drawn to the US, like the Mexican migrants coming for work, they are being pushed out of Honduras, Guatamala, El Salvador by drought, extreme poverty and violence. So a parent faced with with terrible choices chooses what they think will save their children and you all label them bad parents because they dont want their kids to starve ti death or swallowed by the endemic violence.
Then you have horrible filthy conditions the kids are being kept in under American detention.. Andwhat is the response?
Blame throwing. Not this is unacceptable, lets at keadt fix it for the moment...no. Not taking responsibility but blaming.
Trump administration owns all tbe policies at play. They can choose to improve conditions and have the direct power to do so but they would rathet use the suffering of children for political purposes. Again. And Again.
1. If it was a push problem as you claim, they would stop in Southern Mexico.
2. If we don't find the right people or causes to blame, then we can't actually address the cause of the problem.
3. It is your side that is using the suffering of children for political purposes.
1. The fact thst they dont stop in Mexico, a coybtry also beset by poverty and violence, doesnt make itany less ofa push factor. Many have rekatives in the US.
2. Blame lies with the policies put in place by this administration that turned a border crisis into a humanitarian one. This isnt even close to the high numbers we have had before yet some how huge numbers of kids weren't held in such conditions for such lengths of time before now.
Because we have never had as many kids crossing before. This is not the imiigration problem of 10 years ago.
This has been pointed out and linked already. Why ignore that fact other than it does not fit the narrative?
Yes...we have...we had a huge influx of unaccompanied minors under Obama - and it WAS a crisis. It was much larger than now.
What is the difference between now and then?
A policy of 100 % incarceration.
A policy of 100 % family separation.
A policy that makes it extremely risky for family members to sponsor kids because they fear deportation.
You have more family units crossing the border but guess what -
the number of unaccompanied children crossing the border is much lower than it was in 2014 and 2016.
It would not be as much of a crisis if those policies hadn't been enacted. It is the combination of numbers and deplorable policies, followed by
a blatant refusal to do anything about it, and a readiness to excuse it.
Well it's not excusable. They are in our hands, under our control, and like it or not we are responsible for the conditions they are in.
