Nielsen's claim here is very deceptive for 2 reasons: First, I spoke personally to a mom who crossed at a legal point of entry. She and her daughter were fleeing death threats in Honduras. Her daughter was taken away and she is now locked up in a detention center.https://twitter.com/SecNielsen/status/1008467414235992069 …
Second, new DHS policy is making it almost impossible for families fleeing violence to seek asylum at legal ports of entry. So desperate moms hire folks to take them across the Rio Grande. Then—as described here—they are arrested and then their children are taken away.pic.twitter.com/EaQUi4tyjv
Trump keeps saying we need new immigration laws to change his cruel family separation policy. Totally false. He ordered it 6 weeks ago and he could end it today. He is holding these separated kids hostage to gain leverage in the larger immigration debate. Despicable!
Do desperate Citizen Moms are caught stealing or prostituting and arrested and separated from their families (including Minor Children) and @ChrisVanHollen along with @TheDemocrats are silent. It seems you have to be crossing the border illegally to warrant the attention of Dems!
Any negotiation should include making ports of entry capable of handling all asylum seekers who come within 24 hours--first come first serve. If the ports of entry don't work, nothing does.
Republican Bush 2 was President when ICE was formed. Bill Clinton had nothing to do with this.
They should have gone to the US Embassy in the nation of origin and request asylum then in order to avoid the inherent dangers of crossing Mexico.
