Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I remember probably you or someone else here sorting me out that they had changed "shit" to "spit" for TV. They really should have used "poo" or some other synonym to make it clear what body substance was an ingredient.

Excellent article. Not just Miller, a bunch of xenophobes' hateful words are matched against their families' documented immigration histories. One example, a White House aide who vowed to end “chain migration":

This could be cynical damage control by the admin., but until proven otherwise I choose to believe that Melania is telling POSPOTUS that he is a monster and that America is better than him. This is really stupid, though:

Introducing Legislation to Keep Families Together

Image

This week, I introduced the Keep Families Together and Enforce the Law Act. Migrant children should not be separated from their families, and this legislation provides the solution by clarifying federal law to ensure that families will remain together and receive good care as they go through the legal process. In addition, the Keep Families Together and Enforce the Law Act requires the Department of Homeland Security to take steps to reunify families that were previously separated.

Entirely GOP sponsors, so I'm sure that it's lacking and that it won't pass, but it is an indication of how frightened they are by what POSPOTUS did.

The petition to congressional Democrats reads:

"No Democrat should fund Donald Trump's racist immigration agenda. Reject any spending bill that greenlights construction of a southern border wall, expands Trump's rogue deportation armies, ramps up immigration detention or further militarizes the border."

Same thing in the House, an all-GOP bill:
Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns about undocumented immigrant children that are separated from their parents. It’s an honor to serve the people of North Carolina’s 11th Congressional district, and I appreciate you reaching out to voice your concerns.

I share your concerns and introduced H.R. 6134, the Equal Protection of Unaccompanied Minors Act – a bill to reunite families and end the practice of separating children from their parents. I do not support the separation of families while the parents go through the legal process of asylum entrance into the United States. I have children myself, and I cannot imagine the pain and fear that many of these families have experienced.

My bill, H.R. 6134, the Equal Protection of Unaccompanied Minors Act, would end this practice of separating minors from their parents after they have been apprehended at the border. This bill will fix the root cause of the problem--by closing some of the loopholes in our asylum laws, preventing criminals from using kids to take advantage of the rules. You can read more about the bill here: https://meadows.house.gov/news/document ... mentID=919.

This legislation would make it so that families who have already been separated from their children would legally be able to be reunited. A prevailing concern throughout this process is to monitor for adults bringing children across the border who are a danger to children, or who are falsely claiming to be the parent of a child for preferential entry into the United States. In these cases, it is the obligation of the United States to keep children as safe as possible and place them with their true parent, a relative, or safe foster home.

On June 20, 2018, President Trump signed an Executive Order which directs the Department of Homeland Security to keep families together while their asylum status is pending. President Trump's Executive Order directs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to “file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the “Flores settlement" in a manner that would permit the Secretary [of Homeland Security], under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings.” The Flores Settlement Agreement is a case from 1997 that required the federal government to release undocumented immigrant children, first to their parents if possible, to other adult relatives if not, and to licensed programs willing to accept custody if no relatives are available.

You can read more information about how the Department of Health and Human Services cares for “Unaccompanied Alien Children” during the asylum process here: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/programs/ucs....

Sincerely,

Mark Meadows (R-NC11)
Member of Congress
