Tell the National Sheriffs' Association: Step Away from the Hate Groups!

Over the past two years, ICE and Sheriffs have entered into an unprecedented number of jail deportation agreements. Through programs like the infamous 287G that allows ICE to deputize Sheriffs, the Trump administration is expanding the number of police forces that respond to his despicable worldview.

It’s time to expose the hate groups behind these programs, and demand that Sheriffs stop working with all of them.

O Really said in some places Mexico is very nice. But even the nicest places aren't equally nice to all. Point being, though, no matter how nice the country a person comes through or from, what justification is there for being cruel to children?

Wait, s/he cowered from your question the first two times you asked? Surprise, surprise. Some people in law enforcement sure are pansies.

I suspect he doesn't know/care who is at the border, why they're there, or what the government of arguably richest country in the world is doing to them. He likely doesn't know/care that separating children from parents and keeping the children in the equivalent of cages has nothing to do with immigration and serves no useful purpose outside of cruelty for its own sake. He probably also doesn't know/care that immigration policy worked very well from a (gasp) Reagan policy that provided a means of "getting legal" and worked until the instant furriner-phobia that began on 9/12. He probably doesn't know/care that those seeking asylum by trying to follow the law would be better off to be left to their own resources to live in the desert or streets than to be jailed, caged, and denied common care provided to criminals, war prisoners, and Taliban captives.

You would think someone would have passed along that information to these hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.

Do you have any spare time for children. rhetorical

If I had the money, I would buy a bunch of those navy blue shirts with big yellow FBI letters on the back (they sell these on ebay) and hand them out at the border. That way, a lot of these people seeking asylum would not be fucked with so much.

Are you saying that s/he is an ignoramus, and a child just here to smear her/his shit on the walls without sincere beliefs or interest in mature discussion? Makes sense to me, but you know her/him better than I do.

You have any idea how many of your posts are just generic taunting? Whether it's sports, politics, religion, whatever, you post only taunts. Why don't you occasionally pick something you'd like to talk about and maybe you would get better responses and less ridicule.

Immature 'nyah, nyah, nyah' is all s/he's got ...

The responses and posts made by 1 FAT CAN are, to me, like a third grade student suddenly finds himself in a university class and becomes paralyzed by the terrible realization that he's out of his league but tries to fake it anyway. The results of this are always tragicomic.

Nah, they'd start torturing the adults without 'FBI' shirts and abusing their kids.

Hungry, Scared and Sick: Inside the Migrant Detention Center in Clint, Tex.
An out-of-the-way border station in the desert outside of El Paso has become the epicenter of outrage over the Trump administration’s policies on the southwest border.

End the Border Patrol

It's time to tear down the U.S. Border Patrol. And I mean tear it down entirely: Fire its staff, close its detention centers, and start over from scratch.

Why? Because new details confirm that this agency is fraught with problems. And extreme problems often require extreme solutions.

This week put the agency under an unflattering spotlight. A ProPublica investigation into a Facebook group composed of current and former Border Patrol agents revealed these people "joked about the deaths of migrants, discussed throwing burritos at Latino members of Congress visiting a detention facility in Texas on Monday, and posted a vulgar illustration depicting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in oral sex with a detained migrant."

Awful. Disgusting. Reprehensible. But then things got worse.

A group of congressional Democrats, including Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), visited migrant detention centers in Texas and found "appalling" conditions, operated by a staff apparently hostile to congressional oversight, where migrant women "were held in cells without water and told by officers to drink out of the toilet."

"This has been horrifying so far," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "It is hard to understate the enormity of the problem. We're talking systemic cruelty w/ a dehumanizing culture that treats them like animals." ...

So yeah, this is a disaster for the Border Patrol. Let's shut it down....

How should we rebuild and replace the Border Patrol? Very carefully. WOLA, a non-governmental agency that advocates for human rights in the Americas, has offered suggestions for revamping the nation's border security. Its agenda includes requiring border agents to wear body cameras, increasing the staff of internal affairs investigators, and adopting a new approach that makes detention a last resort. It suggests expanding a program that once used caseworkers to keep in frequent touch with asylum-seeking families. Such an approach would require rethinking immigration policy with humanitarian concerns in mind, instead of continually finding new and more troubling ways to deter migrants....

It's tempting to sympathize. But there has long been a growing pile of evidence that the agency's culture is saturated with racism and indifference to human life. There's no reason to believe the Border Patrol, as presently constituted, is culturally capable of handling its duties in a professional or humane fashion. This week's events should be the tipping point. It's time to dissolve the agency and start over.

Teacher - It's physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because, even though it's a large mammal, it's throat is very small.
Student - Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Teacher - Again, it's physically impossible.
Student - Well, When I get to Heaven, I will ask Jonah.
Teacher - What if Jonah went to Hell?
Student - Then, You ask him.
