Bambi, you do no work at all except to misinform yourself. I think you are nearly the least qualified person to weigh in on the topic. Since your cowardice and ignorance will keep you where you are, I’m confident most immigrants we get will be solid upgrades over Red and Kid, who are moldy and glitchy and well past their sell by dates.
Send me some white feathers, I'll make artwork out of them.
Whose fault is it that the parents are now in immigration detention
We've "discussed" that with you before. It's a concept you struggle with, repeatedly.
The people who put them in detention are responsible for putting them in detention. They are the ones following illegal orders.
The people who gave them those illegal orders are responsible for the parents' being in the concentration camps. The buck stops with the criminal president in the White House, who repeatedly has told his administration officials to ride roughshod over the Constitution and the people it protects, as well as other laws and treaties.
The people who disrupted the governments of the countries these families fled are responsible for the parents' being in the camps. They would not have fled for their own or their children's lives, but for great duress.
And yes, the parents are responsible for their decisions, for trusting the United States to honor its own laws.
The federal government is responsible for allowing thousands of detained children to have been sexually molested or worse. It is responsible for the failure to administer vaccines as any decent human beings would have. It is responsible for the lack of oversight such that children are dying under their watch or their hired guns' watch.
You should be ashamed, allowing yourself to post such an overblown statement
Where were you when women (children?) we're being assaulted in the caravans? We're you heard then?
Others have done a fine job pointing out a few of the flaws in your oh so clever comeback. Let's take your question a bit further, instead:
Where were
you when our government and corporations were disrupting their countries, which helped to destabilize them, making it safer to flee than to live in?
Where were you when the Trump administration's "leaders" chose to demonize those caravans instead of helping them?
Where were you when Trump ordered the illegal "zero tolerance" policy? When he ordered the slowdown of the asylum process and sent troops instead of judges? When he forced children under 6 to "defend" themselves in immigration court?!
You claim that this is an overblown statement:
The federal government is responsible for allowing thousands of detained children to have been sexually molested or worse.
Care to explain HOW that is "overblown," Kid? I'm all ears.
All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government impose criminal liability on correctional facility staff who have sexual contact with people in their custody. These laws recognize that any sexual activity between detainees and detention facility staff, with or without the use of force, is unlawful because of the inherent power imbalance when people are in custody.
...
Although the employee pled guilty to criminal institutional sexual assault under Pennsylvania law, the defendants contend that they should not be liable for any constitutional violations. Their argument rests in part on their assessment that the sexual abuse was “consensual” and that they should be held to a different standard because the Berks Family Residential Center is an immigration detention facility rather than a jail or prison.
Are you:
a) denying that there have been
thousands of sexual assaults on children being held in the camps and other facilities?
b) denying that the organizations that run them are responsible for their staff?
c) denying that the owners of the facilities are responsible?
or
d) denying that the federal government is
legally and ethically responsible for "safe and sanitary" conditions?!
"Following arrest, the INS shall hold minors in facilities that are safe and sanitary and that are consistent with the INS's concern for the particular vulnerability of minors," the agreement reads. "Facilities will provide access to toilets and sinks, drinking water and food as appropriate, medical assistance if the minor is in need of emergency services, adequate temperature control and ventilation, adequate supervision to protect minors from others, and contact with family members who were arrested with the minor."

Obviously, the problem predates Trump's time in office, but he has made it worse. Lots worse.
Do tell me how my position is
overblown, rape apologist.
