Trump is lying, and using kidnapped immigrant kids to blackmail Congress for money to build a stupid wall on our Mexican border. The immigration issue is not a case for kidnapping immigrant children. IT IS NOT THE LAW, IT IS A POLICY! Sessions and Sanders are also lying when they say it is the law. All GOP members who say it is the law are liars.
There was a time when America avoided committing crimes against humanity. No longer. That time has passed. Americans are now the ONLY country on the planet to take children from their parents.
"Taking Migrant Children From Parents Is Illegal, U.N. Tells U.S."
By Nick Cumming-Bruce June 5, 2018

"GENEVA — The Trump administration’s practice of separating children from migrant families entering the United States violates their rights and international law, the United Nations human rights office said on Tuesday, urging an immediate halt to the practice.
The administration angrily rejected what it called an ignorant attack by the United Nations human rights office and accused the global organization of hypocrisy."
Of course criminals always say they are innocent of the crime they obviously committed.
"“The U.S. should immediately halt this practice of separating families and stop criminalizing what should at most be an administrative offense — that of irregular entry or stay in the U.S.,” Ms. Shamdasani said.
No surprise Nikki Haley tries to say look at others, not us. Ignore our human rights failings, we are the "good guys." lol! Nikki is beyond funny to seek a distraction like this. Is SHE OK with separating kids from their parents? THAT is the question Nikki! No one asked you what any other country was doing, BUT YOU cannot find any country doing what Tweety is doing to immigrant families.
"The United States ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R. Haley, clearly showed American irritation with the accusation in a statement released a few hours later.
“Once again, the United Nations shows its hypocrisy by calling out the United States while it ignores the reprehensible human rights records of several members of its own Human Rights Council,” Ms. Haley said."
More.
"Without addressing the specifics of the accusation, Ms. Haley said: “Neither the United Nations nor anyone else will dictate how the United States upholds its borders.”"
Of course you and Tweety are happy to commit murder and traumatize children for administrative offenses crossing a bridge on our border with Mexico of seeking asylum in America, right Nikki?
"The administration has characterized its policy as being about illegal immigration, though many of the detained migrants — including those in families that are split apart — enter at official border crossings and request asylum, which is not an illegal entry. It has also said that some adults falsely claim to be the parents of accompanying children, a genuine problem, and that it has to sort out their claims."
So if it is hard to verify if the kids are kids of the adults at the border, it I OK to traumatize the kids?
"
The United States is the only country in the world that has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, she noted, but the practice of separating and detaining children breached its obligations under other international human rights conventions it has joined.
“Children should never be detained for reasons related to their own or their parents’ migration status. Detention is never in the best interests of the child and always constitutes a child rights violation,” she said, calling on the authorities to adopt noncustodial alternatives."
"Trump cites as a negotiating tool his policy of separating immigrant children from their parents"
by Michael Scherer and Josh Dawsey June 15, 2018
"On Friday, Trump suggested he would not change the policy unless Democrats agreed to his other immigration demands, which include funding a border wall, tightening the rules for border enforcement and curbing legal entry. He also is intent on pushing members of his party to vote for a compromise measure that would achieve those long-standing priorities."
The fact is that Trump and anyone supporting this hostage taking are saying they will do anything to get their way, including murder of one female immigrant crossing the border a couple weeks ago. The Border Patrol had multiple stories of why they shot the woman. I suspect it was carelessness, thus murder in the second degree.
