Here is the an audio recording that captures the heartbreaking voices of small children crying out for their parents at a US immigration facility is fuelling fury over the Trump administration’s policy of separating immigrant children from their parents.
"Papa! Papa!" one child is heard wailing in the audio file that was first reported by the nonprofit ProPublica and later provided to The Associated Press.
In the seven-minute tape, children who were reportedly aged four to 10, could be heard crying out for the parents. A guard could be heard joking: "We have an orchestra here."
Pro Publica was a recipient of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for public service, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting, the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting and a 2010 Pulitzer.

The claim: US President Donald Trump says the Democrats created a law that separates children from parents who cross the US-Mexico border illegally.
Verdict:There is no law on separating children from parents at the border, but rather a policy introduced recently by the Trump administration.
The policy has led to 1,995 children being separated from families at the border between 19 April and 31 May, in addition to a further 700 children since October 2017.

So, what is your solution to dealing with minors from illegal immigrant families? Apparently you want... to detain the kids... to... what... make them citizens? Keep them in custody? Deport them somewhere else?
"Liberals" don't want any of this shit. We want comprehensive reform of the rules altogether. In the meantime, we also don't want to take children from their families, so we follow the current law and deport them together.

Obama’s policy was to give them a bus ticket and hoped they showed up for a hearing in a few years. We seem to agree this needs changed, but Democrats are preventing that change.
Holding them instead of giving them bus tickets make sense. Do you want the children held with adults or separate?
I think liberals love the issue more than the fix. Are you saying you want this amnesty loophole fixed?
Zagadka wrote:So, what is your policy for asylum seekers? House the entire families until their hearing? Take the kids and hold them separately? What about the parents?
I'd love to, depending on the "fix".

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are systematically violating U.S. and international law by blocking immigrants at international ports of entry on the southern border from entering the country so they can claim asylum. Immigration civil rights advocates have been documenting this illegal behavior since late 2016, from Texas to California. It was sporadic then, and appears to have been based at least in part on CBP’s difficulties with handling large numbers of people.
Even so, the practice of turning immigrants away has suddenly become routine, creating chilling scenes of immigrants and children camped out near the bridges, exposed to sun, wind, and rain, amid make-do bedding, scattered clothing, and trash. A few times a day, the immigrants walk to the middle of the bridges and ask to be admitted to the port of entry building on the U.S. side so that they can request asylum. They are almost always turned back.
