Jeff Sessions just said on Fox that the poIicy of separating kids at border is a deterrent - even as others in admin have denied that. “Yes, hopefully people will get the message ... and come through the border at the port of entry and not [come] across the border unlawfully.”

Sessions says they need to go to Port of Entry.Well,the POA won't let them in unless they have a passport or http://visa.So those seeking asylum are turned away.If they can't return to their country,they have no choice but to enter somewhere else along the Border.
-
Border Patrol is actively blocking port of entry & turning away asylum seekers (illegally) so they are forced to cross in between.

What set of metrics are in place to determine whether the deterrence policy in fact works?
-
The amount of children captured and detained

It's a deterrent from ever believing in the good will of anyone in the GOP or anyone associated with this administration...

Again, he still thinks locking up pot smokers deters drug use. He will always find ways to ruin the lives of minorities, but he’s ok with destroying poor white families, too.
-
Right, because there aren’t any ways to get drugs in prison

Lowest ever or five-fold increase? Where is the truth? The press is not doing their job, at all.
-
Apparently the numbers change depending on the policy they are trying to shove down our throats.

It's ok to traumatize 1000s of little children for life because it's a "deterrent". Who are the animals here?? What an abhorrent POS he and everyone in this administration is.
-
Some parents DON’T KNOW their kids will be taken, & some kids AREN’T taken. Which story should others believe? The NEW POLICY can’t deter people who haven’t heard it! Some w/family here, risk the trip knowing at least their kids will be granted entry & live w/relatives.

I underestimated Sessions as a garden-variety racist. Turns out he's evil. Justice is coming for you Sessions. With vengeance.

1) Seeking asylum is not illegal. 2) ICE is deliberately blocking access to the "official ports of entry".

They arbitrarily close ports of entry to create a crime for the refugees who then travel to another. Then they take the children and deport the parents. Then they have captives who can be raised to think survival means working for $1/day in America's slave labor private prisons.

It doesn't matter, because these kids are not Norwegians.

They are not breaking the law. They are simply stepping across the border to declare amnesty. That is not a crime. This is what every country does as a part of Amnesty International and this is what we used to do until now when the President changed the policy in May 2018z

I am glad that you said this because I could not understand why asylum seekers were being arrested, especially given the need to avoid the drug cartels in Mexico.

Sincere question: why should we take anything he says seriously when he is so wrong on the basic mechanics of something like marijuana?
