Women and children crossing together illegally into the United States could be separated by U.S. authorities under a proposal being considered by the Department of Homeland Security, according to three government officials.

Part of the reason for the proposal is to deter mothers from migrating to the United States with their children, said the officials, who have been briefed on the proposal.

The policy shift would allow the government to keep parents in custody while they contest deportation or wait for asylum hearings. Children would be put into protective custody with the Department of Health and Human Services, in the “least restrictive setting” while until they can be taken into the care of a U.S. relative or state-sponsored guardian.

Currently, families contesting deportation or applying for asylum are generally released from detention quickly and allowed to remain in the United States until their cases are resolved. A federal appeals court ruling bars prolonged child detention.

1. Can they get any more hateful?

[Angry Dragon]

3. NO............. they just love to hate

[Alice11111]

7. Yes, it's they thrive on it. Gives them orgasims. Sorry

for the obscene crudeness. They are just sadistic...like the people who make snuff movies.

[Angry Dragon]

11. Not a problem ...........

[lunatica]

14. They must stay awake nights digging deep into their soullessness

to come up with more cruelty to inflict on others.

[yuiyoshida]

42. Son of a bitch has a vendetta against brown, black and yellow people...

That may not work out so good in the end, people will fight back, and they may end up hating the results pretty quickly.

[Judi Lynn]

44. The GOP hates Native Americans, too. During his speech this week, they burst into applause & shouts

when he boasted that the very pipeline so many US Americans want ended, is going through, anyway. The Republicans were beside themselves with glee.

Enough to make any sane person absolutely sick.

[yuiyoshida]

45. oh absolutely! I can't forget my

Red brothers! Well, the US government my try and mess with its population, but all its going to do is piss so many of us off, that they will have to place armed guards every where... Its gonna be like STAR WARS all over again...

[gopiscrap]

2. trump is a fucking heartless asshole

I hope he burns in hell

[asiliveandbreathe]

4. I so detest what our country is becoming

This is madness......

[Alice11111]

5. This is what the Nazis did when they got off the trains at

the camps. I don't like to make those comparisons, but they keep slapping me in the face. The mothers were often made to prostitute themselves in efforts to save their children or not be separated. Of course, they took advantage and lied. Thank goodness DT's goons would never take advantage.

Inhumane. At least, don't punish the innocent children.

[Angry Dragon]

15. The Nazi comparisons do fit though

[smirkymonkey]

35. That was the first thing that I thought of.

This is so hateful and disgusting. How can they live with themselves?

[get the red out]

6. This is evil

Morally repugnant!

[Liberalagogo]

8. Sieg Heil!

[lunatica]

16. Widen the jacket, shorten the neck, make the hands smaller and add orange. Lots of orange

then it'll be perfect.

[Alice11111]

18. HaHaHa...I was thinking the same thing as I analysed it

Then, I saw your post

[KewlKat]

34. yep me too......GMTA

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. That photo is uncalled for!!! He

looks way too thin.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Good lord. nt

[delisen]

10. Hatred and Contempt for Women and Children nt

[Mrs. Overall]

12. Shockingly horrendous.

[More_Cowbell]

13. Besides the general horror of this idea

Who's going to pay for housing and feeding these people? ( mean, from the perspective of the fiscally responsible GOP)

[mobeau69]

20. Mexico's got it covered. Drinks for the house on Mexico!

Seriously, this sounds like another well thought out idea.

[procon]

17. What's the goal in causing as much misery and suffering as possible?

Why? What is the payoff in torturing mothers and their children? Follow the money... There must be a profit taking business scheme involved, maybe its private run detention centers for the moms and institutional group homes for kids. Someone has figured out how to get double funding from the government for separating moms from their kids... kaching!

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. Profit is always around, but understand this is what the rank and file

repub voter wants, they want to torture or kill all people other than them, this includes you and me, by the way.

[Alice11111]

25. Probably is a $$ motive, but trumpsters love to punish.

He gets his base all salivating with this cruelty to Mexicans. He has practically started a war with Mexico. Mexicans are generally a passive peaceful people, with a lot of passion and pride though (drug cartels excepted, but he's not really after those, in any intelligent way).

I hate him for what he has done to our Mexican friends.
Fuck your wall, DT.

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. America is gone, we need to accept that.

[mobeau69]

22. Don't say that.

[Alice11111]

26. You may be right, but we must fight until death anyway

[Eliot Rosewater]

38. Yeah, true patriots will fight the fascists to the death, if necessary

I think trump nukes us all first thru his stupidity

Or Rick perry does it by accident

[ramapo]

24. He's a monster

How cruel can you get?

[Alice11111]

27. Mexico volunteered to pay 4 this wall

[NastyRiffraff]

28. Oh. My. God.

This is shocking, even for Dump. He can't get much lower than this. Can he?

I wish there were a hell so he could burn in it. I've never hated anyone as much as I hate the so-called president.

[LoisB]

29. 45 should go to Oz to see if he can get a heart.

[lunasun]

51. And a brain ...and courage

[RKP5637]

30. Trump, is a Sadist and a Sociopath!!! n/t

[geretogo]

31. The concentration camps and ovens are not far off . It took only seventy some years and the spirit

of Hitler has come back in the body of an evil con artist named Trump with his storm troops .

[Solly Mack]

32. That's horrifying.

Cruel, vicious...just plain evil.

[sinkingfeeling]

33. God, shades of the Nazis. Where's the country of my birth: the

United States of America?

[tblue37]

36. Reminds me of the way the Nazis sorted men, women, and children as they arrived

at the death camps.

[dalton99a]

49. +1

[kimbutgar]

37. I am so ashamed and disgusted by my country now

All the goodwill and diplomacy the Obama administration did to restore our reputation after Bush's disastrous war is now wiped out by the a$$wipe chump.

[Corgigal]

39. They don't have enough foster parents now

How is this suppose to work? It can't.

[Doreen]

40. What evil, vile, and horrible wretches.

[Marthe48]

41. Bullies

this is a fear tactic aimed at one of the most revered of family ties. trump has a special place in Hell waiting for him.

[heaven05]

43. shades of days past

[KingCharlemagne]

[heaven05]

63. Sanctuary cities are a start

then yeah...these are some very sad times for all not white, male-female and KKKristian and it is going to get much worse.

[OxQQme]

46. More SAD to think about the 'brown shirts'

that will lovingly carry out the orders.
Kinda like armed militia shooting into a Kent State crowd.

BIG SAD!

[uppityperson]

47. What the holy fuck?

[Crash2Parties]

48. Not a new thing for white suppremecists, Southerners did the same to slaves 150 yrs ago.

It's a way of dehumanizing people who aren't of the master race.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

50. K & R

[riversedge]

[Kennah]

[Vinca]

60. What a "Christian" thing to do.

[Mc Mike]

61. He isn't called "Hair Hitler" for nothing.

I was especially enthralled by this gem from commissar of reich security John Kelly:

"Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly last week ordered immigration agents to deport or criminally prosecute parents who facilitate the illegal smuggling of their children."

Translated, the refugees brought their children with them when they fled here for survival, so we'll prosecute them for 'illegal child smuggling'.

[Fast Walker 52]

62. pure evil

this must not stand
