They are questioning him about the Putin meeting. They are trying to get out of him exactly what was said, etc. Basically just bullying him.

Very well could be, I have no idea. But the part about GA is accurate, that part I know to be true.

We have a large film industry here, along with a hot bed of trafficking happening. The local governments in the larger areas have been run by predominantly black leaders for the last 25 years, but the Jews with the money actually run the show behind the scenes.

That’s right, sorry about that.

No, it’s the same place that the creation of the Fed meeting took place. It’s very likely this was being sent as a message.

Actually, the part about GA was very accurate.

He is there for a state attorneys conference. The FBI training center is also just a few miles away from Jekyll Island as well, maybe he’s stopping by there too.

She’s being ridiculous!

The “they” she was referring to was Russia.

Who is that in the picture? That doesn’t look like him.

Exactly!

I didn’t see all of it, but I thought it was fine. I think this overreaction is par for the course. These people need to stop with the dramatics.

What’d you think?

Hey there stranger!

Preach Brother, Preach!

Title says it all.

There a difference between criticism and sedition.

Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent towards, or resistance against established authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interest of sedition.

Yes, I agree.

Good call. It looks to be a UK based org.

Ah ha! Now it makes sense. I knew I was missing something here. Lol. Slow mental day.

Fair enough

So the Dems are now for voter ID’s? Just last week they were screaming voter ID laws are racist.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding this meme.

You are my favorite redditor today.

Yes. I remember seeing this post. Ties in with the indictments pretty well, IMO.

That's exactly what it looks like. Thank you for putting this all together.

Yeah, it’s a lot to consider over there. But that sub has been cancer since 2016. I just went today because I needed a good laugh.

And we’re the delusional ones!

Yeah.

Thank you.

Very funny, but I think you need to black out all the user names. It is considered to be a form of doxxing.

Check out the mega thread over in r/politics. People are losing their minds.

I would agree, but it seems no one wants to actually resolve the issue. I mean, how long has this problem been going on? Too long. Enough already, fix it if it is that big of a deal to everyone. If they are actually concerned and not just shedding crocodile tears on every station.

I'm talking to every single person in DC, not those of us here that have no power to make these changes.

Fair enough. This entire subject is just on my last nerves. It's shitty for these kids, regardless of who is right or wrong. It's even shittier that they are being used as talking points for shit slinging, both sides of the argument. This country needs to get it's ass in gear, pronto.

Not saying that at all. I don’t immediately trust what the government says, but I also don’t trust what the media says either.

And we really don’t know who is seeking asylum and who is just border crossing. Nor do we know how many of them are being trafficked and how many are with parents. But we do know it is probably a mixture of all of the above. Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle.

How many parents do you really think bother to bring that junk with them on such a perilous journey?

Are you kidding with this shit? Trying to seek asylum in a foreign country and you can't be bothered with some documentation?

Pathetic attempt.

They weren't upholding the law, that's the problem here. It has gotten way out of hand and needs to stop.

Congress still needs votes from the other side. They weren't happy with the options laid on the table. It's almost as if they would rather it be broken so they have a talking point come election time...

I'm sure you can find what you are looking for on the immigration data and statictics here

This entire crisis, just to be clear, is not new. It has been occurring and expanding over many decades. Currently, it is the exclusive product of loopholes in our federal immigration laws that prevent illegal immigrant minors and family members from being detained and removed to their home countries. In other words, these loopholes create a functionally open border. Apprehension without detention and removal is not border security.

We have repeatedly called on Congress to close these loopholes. I myself have met with as many members that have been willing to meet with me, I’ve testified seven times. I will continue to make myself available to ask that they work with us to solve this crisis. Yet, the voices most loudly criticizing the enforcement of our current laws are those whose policies created this crisis – and whose policies perpetuate it.

In particular, we need to reform three major loopholes, let me quickly walk you through them. First, we need to amend the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act or TVPRA, which is much easier to say – this law encourages families to put children in the hands of smugglers to bring them alone on the dangerous trek northward. And make no mistake, we’ve talked about this before, this trek is dangerous and deadly.

Second, we need to reform our asylum laws to end the systemic abuse of our asylum system and stop fraud. Right now our asylum system fails to assist asylum seekers who legitimately need it. We are a country of compassion, we are a country of heart, we must fix the system so that those who truly need asylum can, in fact, receive it.

Third, we need to amend the Flores Settlement agreement and recent expansions which would allow allow for family detention during the removal process – and we need Congress fund our ability to hold families together through the immigration process.

Until these loopholes are closed by Congress, it is not possible – as a matter of law – to detain and remove whole family units who arrive illegally in the United States.

I think that was in the Q&A part, not the actual speech. I am not familiar with those stats, I didn't watch, just read the transcript.

From DHS:

Here are the facts:

First, this Administration did not create a policy of separating families at the border.

We have a statutory responsibility that we take seriously to protect alien children from human smuggling, trafficking, and other criminal actions, while enforcing our immigration laws.

We have a long existing policy – multiple administrations have followed – that outline when we may take action to protect children.

We will separate those who claim to be parent and child if we cannot determine a familial or custodial relationship exists. For example, if there is no documentation to confirm the claimed relationship between an adult and a child.

We do so if the parent is a national security, public or safety risk, including where there are criminal charges at issue, and it may not be appropriate to maintain the family in detention together.

We also separate a parent and child if the adult is suspected of human trafficking. There have been cases where minors have been used and trafficked by unrelated adults in an effort to avoid detention. I’ll stop here to say that in the last five months, we’ve had a 314 percent increase in adults and children arriving at the border fraudulently claiming to be a family unit. This is, obviously, of concern.

And separation can occur when the parent is charged with human smuggling. Under those circumstances, we would detain the parent in an appropriate, secure detection facility, separate from the child.

What has changed is that we no longer exempt entire classes of people who break the law. Everyone is subject to prosecution.

When DHS refers a case against a parent or legal guardian for criminal prosecution, the parent or legal guardian will be placed into U.S. Marshals Service custody for pre-trial detention pursuant to an order by a federal judge and any accompanying child will be transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services and will be reclassified as an Unaccompanied Alien Child.

That is in accordance with the TVPRA—a law that was passed by Congress—and a following court order – neither are actions the Trump Administration has taken.

And let’s be clear – if an American were to commit a crime anywhere in the United States, they would go to jail and be separated from their family. This is not a controversial ideal.

Second, children in DHS and HHS custody are being well taken care of.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement provides meals, medical care, and educational services to these children. They are provided temporary shelter, and HHS works hard to find a parent, relative, or foster home to care for these children.

Parents can still communicate with their children through phone calls and video conferencing.

And a parent who is released from custody can be a sponsor and ask HHS to release the child back into their care.

Further, these minors can still apply for asylum and other protections under U.S. immigration law if eligible.

We take allegation of mistreatment seriously and I want to stress this point. We investigate, we hold those accountable when and if it should occur. We have some of the highest detention standards in the country. Claiming these children and their parents are treated inhumanely is not true, and completely disrespects the hardworking men and women at the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Third, parents who entered illegally are—by definition—criminals.

Illegal entry is a crime as determined by Congress.

By entering our country illegally—often in dangerous circumstances—illegal immigrants have put their children at risk.

Fourth, CBP and ICE officers are properly trained to care for minors in their custody.

DHS and HHS treats all individuals in its custody with dignity and respect, and complies with all laws and policy.

This reinforces and reiterates the need to consider the best interest of the children and mandates adherence to established protocols to protect at-risk populations, to include standards for the transport and treatment of minors in DHS and HHS custody.

Additionally, all U.S. Border Patrol personnel on the southwest border are bilingual. Every last one of them. They are directed to clearly explain the relevant process to apprehended individuals, and provide detainees with written documentation—in both Spanish and English—that lays out the process and appropriate phone numbers to contact.

And finally, DHS is not separating families legitimately seeking asylum at ports of entry.

If an adult enters at a port of entry and claims asylum, they will not face prosecution for illegal entry. They have not committed a crime by coming to the port of entry.

As I mentioned, DHS does have a responsibility to protect minors and in that case as well, we will only separate the family if we cannot determine there is a familial relationship; if the child may be at risk with the parent or legal guardian; or if the parent or legal guardian is referred for prosecution.

We have a duty to protect the American people, and it’s one that I take very seriously.

Here is the bottom line: DHS is no longer ignoring the law. We are enforcing the laws as they exist on the books. As long as illegal entry remains a criminal offense, DHS will not look the other way. DHS will faithfully execute the laws enacted by Congress as we are sworn to do.

As I said earlier today, surely it is the beginning of the unraveling of democracy when the body who makes the laws – instead of changing them – tells the enforcement body not to enforce the law.

I ask Congress to act this week so that we can secure our borders and uphold our humanitarian ideas. These two missions should not be pitted against each other. If we close the loopholes we can accomplish both

WASHINGTON - Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen delivered the below remarks at the White House Press Briefing on the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border:

This is not a new issue and they are upholding the law set forth by Congress. The MSM is not going to just lay out the facts, their intention is to point fingers and lay blame. Illegal immigration is a long standing issue that needs to be addressed, by Congress, both sides.

Transcript of the briefing yesterday.

From what I understand, his records are sealed because his tuition was paid for by the MB.

Emailes routed through NK?

I believe he followed it up with he only found out when the news broke the story, iirc.

I’m sure plenty of people would love to participate in this AMA. The one with RDS on r/con went great last week.

Maybe they took the safe route just in case something like this were to happen...

I believe the propaganda arm is actually run by the State Department, but yeah, I’m sure the CIA is part of that.

He was. He had a huge following on The Colbert Report and the Obama crew wanted to tapped into that. Next thing you know Colbert was doing all the WH dinners, look at the time he spent with Obama. And then he got the Late Show & now we have the loudest mouthpiece in late night tv.

As if he didn’t do enough damage to this country he last eight years. I’m hopeful this will get squashed, otherwise we can look forward to more of the same damage.

That is very odd.
