For Some Officials, Trump-Era Family Separation Policy Was A 'Success' Worth Bringing Back

- In the absence of congressional action to reform America’s immigration policies, cruelty has been the main deterrent strategy to prevent foreigners from attempting to enter the country. That was the main point of the Trump-era Zero Tolerance policy, which separated more than 5,000 migrant children from their parents at the southern border over the course of 18 months. That policy was widely rebuked, but there are officials still employed by the American government who “believe very strongly” in the “success of Zero Tolerance.” Journalist Caitlin Dickerson just published a behemoth investigation about the Zero Tolerance policy for ‘The Atlantic,’ and she says “there’s no question” these policies will return during a different administration. “I did countless interviews and there was nobody who said maybe…we would go a little bit softer or we would try to work more with Congress,” Dickerson tells Ali Velshi. “They are ready to hit the ground running.”

Separation policy was some slavery era type b.s.!!! We can still protect our borders without being so barbaric!
Reminder Stephen Miller used to go watch the separated kids cry because he gets off on it.
Reptilian.
Law as well as human rights abuses must be applied to all involved with separations, just like Nazis were held accountable.
Just like socialist Joe. Only thing he isn't doing like the Nazis, is pulling people out in the street and shooting them. The rest, speaks for itself. Blu rhymes with poo and boo.
In a 2019 interview with nonpartisan think tank The Aspen Institute, Jeh Johnson, Barack Obama's Homeland Security secretary, told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that the "cages" predate the Trump administration.
"Chain-link barriers, partitions, fences, cages, whatever you want to call them were not invented on January 20, 2017," Johnson said.
Kelly asked Johnson about a 2014 photograph of him touring an Arizona facility for migrants along with former Gov. Jan Brewer. The picture is archived on the website for the Arizona Capitol Times.
Local NBC affiliate KVEQ reported on the conversion of a McAllen, Texas, warehouse into a holding facility for up to 1,000 migrant children in 2014.
"You can't just dump 7-year-old kids on the streets of McAllen or El Paso. And so, these facilities were erected ... they put those chain-link partitions up so you could segregate young women from young men, kids from adults, until they were either released or transferred to HHS.

This horrified me at the time!
This crap was well planned ahead of time, remember that there were large homes/ establishments in place to receive these children.
We have no idea how many children or where they are now.

yep, this was clearly an attempt to start true dark times, by way of desensitizing ppl including workers, to these atrocities. Those top level & low level we now know, ie BELOW Nielson's level, who 'turned on her' trumpites deserve the ultimate punishment for this, and maaaaany conservatives know this!
The shelters serve different needs, some are for younger children, some for pregnant females, some for young offenders, some for psy. Many group homes have opened up, instead of the larger shelters, as Unaccompanied minors where not being released in a timely fashion.
Policy-The place must be as close to area of apprehension as possible, least restrictive, fastest safest discharge to sponsor, several other requirements.
The Emergency Influx Shelters are opened when the group homes are filled to 60 percent. These are opened as last resort, as they are very large, and not the ideal place for a normal life, they were meant to be for only 30 days stay, with most Unaccompanied minors only staying for 1 to 17 days, that was during Obama, once Trump got in, it was total chaos, Miller, Sessions all of them.
Democrats didn't make things easier for the children. But if it took a slogan to get Trump out...
"Kids in Cages"--did it.
They need to take away the ex president.
Of course they need to.
Trump CRASHES sleepy Joe in every poll
@@Z1BABOUINOS so, you still admire the orange bloated ex? What he ever do for you ?
The Cruelty is the Point. And what do you think the party that sanctimoniously calls Democrats child groomers would love happening to children forcibly separated from their parents? 🤔
Invite them to your house and feed them at Your Expense.
they've even said they need a "supply" of children/babies
And they call themselves "Christians"...
@@harryjove6725 Could say the same to you about the unaborted. Would _you_ follow through? 😼
Most of those children are not with their parents. They have done DNA tests. Democrats are ignorant.
What sick people take kids from loving parts
Christians. Americans are the most Christian outside Vatican City.
Republicans
They are Anchor Children, change Immigration Laws.
WHAT MEANIES TO TAKE THOSE PRECIOUS ANGELS AWAY FROM THEIR LOVING PARENTS!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
@@winstonsmith8565
Yes. Humans would say that.
It was a war crime. Absolutely unforgivable. One of the most evil actions ever in human history.
I hope a lost child has a chance encounter with that reptile too help explain how damaging it truly was
The child sent across the border by coyotes whose parents never came with them? OK.
Anyone for separation of children from their parents needs to have their own children separated from them. Barbarians!
Invite them to your house and feed them at Your Expense. They are Anchor Children, Change Immigration Laws.
@@harryjove6725
Well, we let you in, and that didn't turn out so well.
@@harryjove6725 You have no soul.
Obama (aka the Deporter in Chief) built cages for children. Don't pretend like you care.
@@winstonsmith8565 Yes the "cages were built in 2014 during the Obama presidency but they were not built for the purpose of separating children from their parents, they were built to house unaccompanied children coming from Central America. Trump used the the cages to torment children and parents.
It was a crime against humanity. Everyone who defined or executed that policy should be renditioned to The Hague for trial.
Yes and millions of “ Americans “ voted for the people that did that saying they were ok with it and wanted more of the same that is what is sickening.
Start with the Biden administration that have intentionally exposed American citizens to the dangers of massive uncontrolled immigration. The blood of every person who died trying to cross the Southern border is on the hands of the Democratic party and its allies.
@@Lerian_V False. You’re wrong, uninformed and racist AF.
The title of this video could just be called 'Nazi'
☝🏻 2 week old Bot account
CIA got you working overtime
That’s who Miller is a Nazi.. the entire administration is guilty Crimes against humanity!!
Do they have the AC cranked to fifty degrees f in the studio?? Why else would a down vest be needed in august?
They do generally keep studios very chilly, overcompensating for the lights and keeping the av tech cool.
When they say "I BELIEVE" it's a shield so they can act ignorant later.
I listened to the 3-hour audio reading on this piece. Well-worth a listen, if only to know all the different actors who knew they would be enacting cruel policy and chose to ignore all the ethical and legal checks demanded from within the DOJ
Wasted 3 hours of ur life...
Where can you here the recording?
Like when the Obama Administration placed immigrant children with known human traffickers
@@tabkaliO NPR
It’s called fascism! It’s racism!
He invited
He incited
They rioted
Then he denied it
Even though he'd implied it
Now he MUST be indicted!
BUT WHAT ABOUT JAN 6????
We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events.
In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system.
It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will.
Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high.
Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry?
Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.
Yona yehezkel,
Your words make a lot of sense. I only hope that those who need them most will read them. Thank you.
They used the same methods they used during s.alVery except they did not sell the children and adults?
We know they were not sold? Where are they?
There were establishments set up to receive hundreds of children. THOSE people were paid. Where are those children now?
If their parents were rejected at the border, who is going to report their child missing?
"The cruelty is the point"
Yes, you are the 5000th person to say that. You repeat talking points very well. Next you should write, "Democrats get things done." or "There needs to be accountability for Trump." Keep hitting those talking points!
@@winstonsmith8565
I use them when they have special significance. In this case it is literally true, and focusses on the fundamental depravity of this policy. A progressive would understand that.
@@jockyoung4491 A progressive understands that gaslighting centrist democrats (like you) only care about the horror some immigrants endure for a few months before the election and then it's right back to the same brutal policies. They're human beings, Jock. Not pawns in your unending war with Republicans.
I want to be where Velshi is. I want to be wearing a padded vest! I'm freaking tired of this heat!!!!
I too look forward to Miller discussing this topic on MSNBC
He's too much of a coward to have an honest discussion.
He’s subsumed with childcare.
Save the fetuses, but take away the children! What hypocrisy!
Evil and shameful that nobody was prosecuted
Aug 14, long sleeve jacket and an insulated vest, the A/C is turned down way too low in there!
A horrific crime only Nazi's and Trumpsters could do. Of course this should result in long jail sentences.
Thank you that was eye opening. We must close the loopholes for the abuse or misuse of power in this case.
Bring back something Trump did ? that will be a first...lol
The donoodle is a gone burglar
Steven Miller is a real life Mr burns from the simpsons
I hope democrats get the message they need to deal with this.
It wasn't trumps policy lol.
This is horrific, how disgusting those people are defies belief, pro life, I don't think so. I hope they get their comeuppance one-day.

After Neilson lost her job she went on TV begging the Monster-in-cheif for her job back and how much she supported his policies. Neilson is a MONSTER.
So why are the people who implemented this policy not under investigation?
evil, pure, evil
Stephen miller should get the chair
Were all the children reunited with parents?
Invite them to your house and feed them at Your Expense. They are Anchor Children, Change Immigration Laws.
No they weren't & many never will be
No, they didn't keep good enough records for that. They intended it to be permanent. That's how cruel they were.
No one knows exactly how many are missing, but at the time hundreds were shipped back East to Establishments with no documentation.
When parents or guardians were then rejected or deported who is there to report them missing?
How do track that?
No because they never intended to return them.
Evil anti abortion hero? What about the children who need protection?
Who built the cages, Joe?
Not the point. The cages were not built for separating children from their families
Who arranged establishments back East to receive HUNDREDS of children who are now uncounted for?
little racism now opens the door for greater racism later. Fear of others

@@briank624 Taxpayer Money will not be spent on anchor babies.
Why was this issue ignored for Biden's ENTIRE term and then brought up a few months before the midterms? Could it be that dems don't give af about those breakfast tacos?

They are kids. Of course I would feed them.

@@harryjove6725
Since they weren't born in the US, they can't be anchor children. Do you really have no idea what you are talking about?
@@jockyoung4491 I'm an Immigrant and I did extensive research on chain migration.
Where does "the buck" stop? Who is really in charge of immigration policy and implementation?
So... ABUSE OF POWER. Ironic.
Why it is all a "Bozo No No!".
Amerikkka has always separated families. Amerikkka was built by separated families
Limit illegal immigration. Call it what it is.
Only Republicans are scared of Mexicans
They can do this by streamlining and speeding up the system to allow more LEGAL IMMIGRATION! Right now it takes 11 years and thousands of dollars in fees for someone to be immigrate to the US with a family sponsor.
what about American children?
What about them? Are they being separated from their parents? 🙄
Silver spoons
Separating immigrant children from their parents is overly cruel and does NOTHING to help American children.
@@deltablueprint3186 The Biden administration routinely separates families through detention and deportation as part of its interior immigration enforcement practices.
Who are the people who buy these books? Where is the Obama book on the same actions?
Obama did not have that policy. That was new with Trump.
@@jockyoung4491 He did keep kids in cages and Biden is building the wall again
Obviously, it didn't work, cuz these people are STILL coming! 🤷♀️
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
~ Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:21-23 ✨️
If only there was a simple, easy way to avoid all of this! Something like... I don't know... not entering the country illegally!
Meh
