Sessions’ Answer On “Separating Families” Is Both Brutal And True

JAZZ SHAWPosted at 2:31 pm on May 9, 2018




One of the toughest situations for our Customs and Border Patrol officers is when they are forced to deal with two categories of illegal aliens: unaccompanied minors and what immigration officials refer to as Family Units (FUs). The Family Unit designation applies to multiple, related illegal aliens including minor children. Contrary to the monstrous picture of our immigration enforcement officials painted by Democrats, nobody wants to see innocent children displaced or split up from their families. Unfortunately, in order to comply with our own laws and ensure the safety of minors, that’s what winds up happening all too often on the Mexican border.

But who is really to blame for that? The law enforcement officials who are following the rules or the parents who choose to knowingly break the law by bringing or sending their children across the border illegally? When Attorney General Jeff Sessions had the question put to him recently he delivered a stiff dose of harsh reality. (LA Times, emphasis added)

All immigrants who cross the border illegally will be charged with a crime under a new “zero tolerance” border enforcement policy, Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions said Monday, launching a crackdown that could overwhelm already-clogged detention facilities and immigration courts with hundreds of thousands of new cases.
Sessions also said that families who illegally cross the border may be separated after their arrest, with children sent to juvenile shelters while their parents are sent to adult detention facilities. Until now, border agents tried to keep parents and their children at the same detention site…

“If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law,” Sessions said earlier Monday in Scottsdale, Ariz. “If you don’t like that, then don’t smuggle children over our border.”

As the kids like to say these days… Boom!

I’ll confess that I’ve been waiting a while to hear some common sense like this coming from the executive branch of our government. Crossing the border illegally is a crime. When people commit other crimes such as robbery, assault or murder, the perpetrators who are sent to prison sometimes have families, including children. You don’t hear anyone demanding they get a pass so they won’t be separated from their kids. To borrow a line from the Baretta theme song, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. (Some of you younger readers may have to go Google that one.)

Sessions went on to remind any potential visitors that our border is not open and if you desire entry, “Make your claim. Wait your turn.” He finished up with another bit of cold, hard truth, telling the audience that we cannot take everyone on this planet who is in a difficult situation.

I continue to hear media talking heads suggesting that Sessions is on the way out or moaning about why President Trump hasn’t fired his Attorney General yet. There’s your reason in a nutshell. That’s precisely the language Trump was using on the campaign trail and Sessions is turning those words into actions. The President clearly likes results and good headlines, and Sessions continues to deliver both.

Hand ALL minor's over into the SAFETY of their President in their country within 24 hours.

We do not know who they belong to and they are not our responsibility.

They have relatives back home on their soil!

Shut down this human trafficking by not allowing ANY of them to stay!

Every illegal alien who brings or sends a child over the border illegally should be charged with child abuse. Any person that pays smugglers to carry minors into the US should be charged with child endangerment.

Charge them and put them in Federal Tent City on Federal land...BUT send every one of their children BACK to their home country.

Let their President deal with this problem, pay for it, and take care of them.


NO ILLEGAL ALIEN CHILDREN RELEASED ON OUR SOIL! DEPORT WITHIN 24 HOURS.

SEND THE MESSAGE...THOSE CHILDREN WILL BE SENT BACK AND WE WILL NOT KEEP THEM HERE!

THEY ARE NOT OUR CITIZENS AND NOT OUR RESPONSIBILTY TO PAY FOR.

There's nothing "brutal" about it. They knew the risks and outcomes. All Sessions has done is clarify it for them. Good for him!! It's crystal clear now. When the children are separated take them to the nearest Consulate and turn them over to the authorities from their home countries to deal with. They are not our problem, and they are not our responsibility.

I really like this article!

There's no flip flopping, weasel words or artificial sweetener. Just straight, cold non filtered truth.

YES!!! We need much more of it, too. Did you hear Trump laid into Nielsen at Wednesday's Cabinet Meeting in front of everyone over not enough being done by DHS to stop illegal immigration?? Yeah, rumor is she threatened to resign over it. Instead she issued a statement saying she understood the President's frustration and that the rumor she was going to resign was false as reported by the New York Times.

We have "trouble in River City". Trump is pissed. He wants more done and with the troops on the border, more should be getting done. Get to work 225,000 DHS employees. That's a lot of employees being funded by federal taxpayers to secure our homeland. But if you're not on the borders or running down illegals in the interior, what exactly are you doing to secure our homeland? So the 200,000 who aren't on the borders or running down illegals in the interior, get to work securing our homeland and if that means a change in title or position, then ask for it. We don't think we're getting our money's worth, and we think that because we aren't.

That is one of the reasons that I would refuse to work in Trump's cabinet, if I were offered a position. Chewing out your "managers" of a department "in front of everyone", reeks of an unprofessional environment. Real leaders should know how to motivate others in order to get the best outcome. Trump is a failure in this area. Look at how he treats Sessions. Abyssmal leadership.

Trump will never get the "best" outcome out of liberal, NWO, amnesty suckers! That is what Kelly and Lady DACA are. Chew them out and make them quit before they are fired.

And Jeff Sessions is doing his best...but he is by no means the Pit Bull that I thought he was going to be. He just went to the border AFTER over a year of this invasion going on.

WE NEED THIS CABINET TO GET ON THE BALL AND GET SAVAGE AT STOPPING THIS INVASION! USE EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK AND START ADVISING E.O.'S TO SEND THE CHILDREN BACK IN 24 HOURS AND NO ASYLUM!!!

Geez, don't know where you've worked, but when you aren't doing your job, you deserved being chewed out however wherever. He was also chewing out his whole cabinet on this issue, not just her, she got it the worst because that's her primary job, but others were chewed out as well. He's holding the entire cabinet responsible as he should. They have the budgets, the manpower, which collectively should be doing the job. Yes, they need more money or they need to rearrange the way the money they have is spent, yes, they need the loopholes fixed in the laws, but there are millions and millions, tens of millions of illegal aliens who don't fall into these loopholes, they're just plain ole illegal aliens who need to be swiftly and immediately deported out of here, families intact, no child left behind.
