Sorry if that has been pointed out–been running around today.
Earlier I was disappointed that POTUS had "caved" to demands for these children
to be placed with their families. As I understand it, the reason that they were
separated in the first place was because there is a law that says that children
incarcerated "with their families" can't be held for more than twenty days. So
the idea is that, after twenty days, they have to be released. Interestingly,
the practice of separating families was started by Obama in order to circumvent
this ruling–of course, we'd heard nothing about any of it at the time.
Essentially, this looked like a ploy to get POTUS to return to the days of
"catch-and-release" by pushing him to house the children with their parents. So
of course I was disappointed…until I'd heard about the Executive Order, and
its emphasis on "Families." Take a look at this section:
< Sec. 2. Definitions. For purposes of this order, the following definitions apply:
< (a) “Alien family” means
< (i) any person not a citizen or national of the United States who has not
< been admitted into, or is not authorized to enter or remain in, the
< United States, who entered this country with an alien child or alien
< children at or between designated ports of entry and who was detained; and
< (ii) that personÂ’s alien child or alien children.
< (b) “Alien child” means any person not a citizen or national of the United States who
< (i) has not been admitted into, or is not authorized to enter or remain in, the
< United States;
< (ii) is under the age of 18; and
< (iii) has a legal parent-child relationship to an alien who entered the
< United States with the alien child at or between designated ports of
< entry and who was detained.
So what's the big deal about "Families?" It ties into pic related–DNA testing.
When the DHS starts to do DNA testing on these children and the people
accompanying them, it will definitively prove that they are being trafficked.
At that point, the country will know that all of these crocodile-tear assholes
on the Left, and the likes of John McCain, were really crying over the
inability of human smugglers to traffic children over the border.
In the article, it states that 10,000 out of 12,000 children are sent to the
border without their parents. Those people who are caught escorting them will
be jailed–not for crossing the border illegally…but for trafficking humans.
Surely, there will be many who will be proven to have kidnapped the children–we
will likely see parents claiming their daughters and sons, who they might have
thought were gone forever.
This will be a public relations coup, and we need to be ready to drive the truth
home.
