BETHPAGE, N.Y. — President Trump and his top administration officials repeatedly warned Wednesday that unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the southern border are potentially exposing the nation to eventual gang crime.

Immigrant advocates have long said that the children, primarily from Central America, are fleeing violence in their home countries and seeking safe harbor in the United States. But the Trump administration has used their plight to justify cracking down on policies that allow these migrants to be released and obtain hearings before immigration judges, rather than being deported immediately.

"We have the worst immigration laws of any country, anywhere in the world," Trump said at the roundtable held at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center. "They exploited the loopholes in our laws to enter the country as unaccompanied alien minors."

Trump added: "They look so innocent. They're not innocent."

...

Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein detailed a gang "resurgence" that he said he witnessed firsthand as the U.S. attorney for Maryland. That rise, Rosenstein said, was "fueled" by illegal immigration and "particularly the challenge of unaccompanied minor children."

The issue is compounded, Rosenstein said, by the fact that these migrant children must eventually be released from detention, and many never show up for their immigration proceedings before a judge. Rosenstein, quoting statistics from the Department of Homeland Security, said less than 4 percent of unaccompanied minors are ultimately removed from the United States.

"We're letting people in who are creating problems. We're letting people in who are gang members. We're also letting people in who are vulnerable," Rosenstein said. Because many of the migrant children lack families or a similar support system, they become "vulnerable to [gang] recruitment," the deputy attorney general said,

So there you go, for those saying the they're animals line was just about MS-13 here they are linking every child refugee to MS-13

That's completely moronic. Very young children adopted are going to integrate basically 100% of the time. They're the ideal candidates for immigration if you're actually trying to force immigrants to adopt and integrate into the local culture and not just dog-whistling that you don't want them to be brown.

This is what the "animals" rhetoric was about. If you convince voters that children are just potential gang members then you can tell the voters that the children aren't people in the first place.

But I was told by my very progressive pink hat-wearing #woke allies that he was talking about MS and not all inmigrants.

After all the horrible things that the orange clown said, I can not believe that there are still people who fall for the defense of "he did not mean that"...

Did Melania set him on a diet or something. Even for Trump the last days have been particularly low

so he's full on heel mode. what would this be a distraction from? or maybe he's just evil and likes to attack children.

the only diet she would put him on is the high cholesterol express diet.

Those mastermind children exploiting laws; clearly the MS-13 training they receive in kindergarten has created a brood of supergenius gangbangers.

Keep in mind that Donalds grandfather was deported and that on the second try he basically had his pregnant wife shipped over from Europe so that his son (Donnies dad) would be born as an US citizen.

They are all a family of filthy, hypocritical scumbag con-artists. It's propably inbred into them.

This is the president saying this. He can't even pretend to be a halfway decent human being.

Looks like it's DT's Greatest Hits today. Feels like he's just rounding the bases to get his core riled up.

This thread contextualises what's happening here, and it's even worse than the initial story - which ought to be 'bring down the fucking government to stop this' tier stuff already - implies.

The legal system offers no recourse for this, nor any means - short of a constitutional amendment - of punishing those responsible. Children are being permanently separated from their parents, with some sold to human traffickers, and others outright killed, and there's nothing anyone can do, legally, to stop it, or punish those responsible.

Dehumanising people always ends well
Yeah, that kind of discourse is only a first step, to plant and cultivate the idea that they're criminals before being children, which increases general acceptance of whatever they're currently cooking up as a logistical solution.
This is textbook totalitarian as described by Arendt (as opposed to chucklefucks on message boards who use that word for being called out on racism for example).

Trump is a sociopath and a monster. But that's hardly news. Seeing this makes me very, very angry. They're children, for God's sake.

Fuck him, fuck the GOP, and fuck the people who voted him in, all of them are terrible people.

He is such a horrible piece of shit. I have always wondered how Hitler amassed his power and the citizens of Germany just accepted it and with Trump I see how. A subset of the population would allow him to do anything and everything to the groups they consider the "other". His rhetoeric is so scary and yet his supporters see no issue with it.
