FACT CHECK: Does a Specific Law Mandate Family Separation and Detention of Minors?

snopes.com/fact-check/doe…
"However, the bill was passed in November 2002 under a Republican majority, and it simply defined an “unaccompanied alien child” as one with no available parent or guardian."
"It made no provision for separating a child from parents or legal guardians or for detaining any child separated by DHS agencies from their parent""

I wasn't sure if I should be laughing as hard I was when I watched this.

THESE are the SAME guys who were supposed to be holding Chris accountable all these years; instead they kept attacking us for blowing the alarm.

They have petition to go with it. They can't even get the dates right.

Guys, Oct 2012 to Oct 2018, is SIX years.

Who remembers back in 2015 when I said the project was doomed unless they got rid of Chris Roberts? These same guys were all attacking me over it. Now here we are, 3.5 yrs later. It's almost as if they weren't paying attention.

If this is anything as good as the one (from Fox and Kesmai) we played back in the day online on a 2400 bps modem, I'm in! But these days, it's too much to hope for.
For those of you not old enough to have played it, this is Aliens Online. It was THE game back in the day. Scary as hell. Most of us had to choose Ramen noodles vs paying the online bills when playing this.

Good times.

Who else remembers this?

Back then, we learned to swear in several foreign languages. Usenet kinda helped with that. Primarily because you'd fire a shot, think you killed the other guy - only to be declared dead seconds later due to lag and such.

So much fun. They don't make them like they used to.

I have seen people asking "Well, what's this to do with Mueller investigation?".

Everything.

She's a confirmed Russian agent, meeting with & lobbying Trump associates for policy change wrt Magnisky Act in exchange for dirt on HRC. Prevezon case is also linked to the MA.
Plus, she was also lobbying with traitor Rohrabacher, to lift sanctions also related to various Russian bad actors, some of whom were also subject to the Magnisky Act sanctions.

It's ALL connected.
This indictment (18 pages) is pretty specific; and confirms not only that she was a Russian asset meeting with Trump associates, but that she's now indicted for lying & fabricating evidence in the Prevezon case.

Grassley, Tillis, Cruz Op-ed: Fixing Flores Agreement Only Solution to Immigrant Family Separation and Detention

Like millions across our country, we too were horrified at the sight of thousands of children being separated from their parents. As parents ourselves, we can only imagine the pain and anguish these families faced. But, as U.S. Senators — and more importantly,
as Americans — we also understand that our immigration system must also enforce our laws.

While this problem has persisted across the last five administrations, and there is legitimate criticism which can be directed towards this administration’s handling of this matter,

Parents & children are not just being separated at the border. They are being separated in every state by @ICEgov - an immoral force ripping apart families everywhere. It’s time to #AbolishICE so we can #FreeOurFuture and #EndFamilySeparation.
U.S. Citizens - Call Congress and ask them use their oversight authority to #EndFamilySeparation. We must ensure the rights of children and parents are respected, and our legal system is allowed to work. Call- (202)224-3121 to share this important message. #ReuniteFamiliesNow
@DHSGov - the @UN has recommended guidelines for human rights at international borders bit.ly/2typSbW . The actions the DHS is taking do not comply with these guidelines. Stop the human rights abuses! #ReuniteFamiliesNow #EndFamilyDetention @womensmarch @UnitedWeDream
