So basically, this whole thing was just a lie (surprise, surprise).
They chose to enforce this thing like they did, knowing they would break up families, and that at this scale it could reasonably described as a humanitarian crisis.
This whole episode should be expressed thus:
1. Trump came through and ended Catch-And-Release
2. and that means they're separating mother and child
3. and he's using that as a bargaining chip to get Congress to act, rather than fixing it first.
People aren't wrong to be outraged, though their anger is dangerously askew; these are not American citizens simply because they're brown and not white, and most people claim asylum when they're caught.
I'm happy he put his foot down on the border but I can't disagree that it was inhumane. I hope he's willing to push again without screwing the whole thing up.
The immigrants and their families were only ever split up if they claimed asylum. And those applications were overwhelmingly frauds. Anyone with a legitimate asylum claim could just make it at the US embassy in their home country-- there's no legitimate reason to make the dangerous trip to the US in person to make it. (There is an illegitimate reason, of course: you can skip bail and just disappear into the US after making your fake asylum claim.)
It's less than a majority, but up to two-fifths of them never show up, depending on the year, and it's gone up since 2013. |
