When/if this nightmare is over, hopefully history will remember the kid torturers and hold their feet to the fire.

40% of the country considers those monsters heroes.

I'm conflicted because this **** should not be funny.

Thread on the opaque, constantly evolving bureaucratic maze around visiting detained immigrants.

Does anybody else think that this policy may have created a few future terrorists? Put gov't officials and their families at risk for retaliation? These kids are scarred for life, gonna grow up f'd up in the head...Isn't kidnapping tourists a thing on foreign soil?

The possible secondary effects of a policy that is akin spiritually and morally to nazism are completely beside the point.

tbh any families affected by this will have a legit grievance and fair cause to want to kill Americans.

If my home town was taken over by psychopaths so I decided to take my family to another town lest they be murdered/raped, and that other town had a BORDER PATROL that took my wife and children from me and threw them in cages, and I couldn't find them for months and when we were eventually reunited they were horribly scarred both physically and mentally, I'd be ready for some killing.

Bonus points for funding the psychopaths with their insatiable illicit drug appetite and ridic policies around them.

You left out the part about illegally crossing a border into another country.

Children.

You mean the misdemeanor? I wonder if you have ever commited a misdemeanor with a less urgent incentive...

FWIW - actual terrorism seems to be more a product of religious or other extremism. W/o those, damaging someone as a child just seems to bring strong resentment.

You know, operated any vehicle any distance while any amount over the legal BAC, marijuana possession, cutting down a Christmas tree without a license, trespassing on protected park land, riding a bike or motorcycle where it is prohibited, transported a knife that was concealed...lotta times even a kitchen knife qualifies, had a bonfire during a restriction, illegal fireworks....you know, a good old american long weekend ffs.

And I’ll take an infraction to add you piece of ****ing ****.

Committing a misdemeanor has a penalty. For illegals, that's deportation. They don't get to say "Okay you caught me committing a misdemeanor" and stay in the country.

So if by far your best chance to help your family was to commit a misdemeanor - you wouldn't do it? You sound like you'd make a really ****ty father.

There's nothing in that article that links to anything anyone has said.

lol we got a real live CBP defender ITT

Don't want to get your children tortured and scarred for life? Don't commit a misdemeanor. It's not that hard folks.

I'm sure pig4bill would feel the same way if someone tortured him as punishment for his weed habit, or failing to signal before changing lanes, or sodomy, or throwing pickle juice on a trolley (note: only in Rhode Island).

You are making this up. If you commit a misdemeanor and present yourself for asylum not only is the penalty NOT deportation, that isn’t even what is being ****ing debated right now. Indefinite incarceration and having your children separated and ALSO incarcerated in neglectful and abusive circumstances without any plan to be reunited is the penalty that is being administered presently. That doesn’t even happen to felons in other circumstances, and for sure not to shoplifters and other people who commit what the law has determined is a petty offense. When these same people were released with a court date they almost always showed up to it because despite your uninformed fantasies about who they are and what their motives are, they want help.
