On Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order purportedly attempting to reunify migrant children with illegal immigrant parents while in custody. This separation, supposedly, was the greatest moral crisis afflicting the country in a generation. The Trump administration “zero tolerance” policy was compared with Nazism and Japanese internment; Trump was featured on the cover of Time magazine grinning down smugly at a crying small Central American child.
So when Trump signed the
executive order, you’d imagine that Democrats would have celebrated – after
all, kids would now be able to stay with their parents, so far as the law
allowed!
Instead, Democrats immediately
suggested that holding children together with parents was brutal and evil – the
same argument civil rights groups made when President Obama pursued the same policy,
an argument that ended in a Ninth Circuit ruling mandating the separation of
children from parents.
Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA)
tweeted:
This Executive Order doesn’t fix the crisis. Indefinitely detaining children with their families in camps is inhumane and will not make us safe.— Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) 20 de junho de 2018
Senator Bernie Sanders
(Loonbag-VT) explained that the executive order didn’t go far enough, because
“we have a situation where the Trump administration now, their solution is to
provide indefinite detention…the Trump administration wants to undo the Flores
settlement, which focuses on the needs of children and limits to 20 days, the
number of days that children can be in jail.” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told
CNN that Trump’s new policy – i.e. Obama’s old policy – “could lead to family
internment camps.” The execrable Samantha Bee, who was officially named World’s
Least Funny Human™ just a few weeks ago, mocked, “Yay! No more baby internment
camps, just regular internment camps…Cool! That’s what we call a win in 2018.
To be clear, I am happy that at least these kids are theoretically gonna stay
with their parents, but Mommy & Me Jails are not a solution.”
So, in other words, they
didn’t care all that much about separation, because when the separation is
rectified, that too is awful. All those on the Left really want is the full
release of all illegal immigrants with children. End of story.
How do we know that? Because
they weren’t nearly as nonplussed by the Obama administration policy keeping
children with parents in detention as they are by Trump’s same exact
policy prescription. Here’s Rep. Luis Guttierez (D-IL) explaining: “We
challenged Obama…You know, Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of Homeland Security,
said I only can keep children in detention for 20 days. And here’s what the
Obama administration began to do, 20 days detention for children, as they apply
for their asylum request, right, and the children and the moms were released
together.”
This is the agenda. Release
everyone. That’s why Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was willing to
allow the separation policy to continue rather than work with Republicans in
Congress to fix it.
The separation policy is bad.
It should be fixed. But that’s not the actual Democratic agenda. And a solid
percentage of the histrionics from the media and the Democrats were crocodile
tears.
