In March of 1993, The United States Supreme Court issued a ruling in Reno v Flores. (Yes, “That” Reno. Janet Reno, Bill Clinton’s first Attorney General who ordered that young Elian Gonzalez be torn from his family’s arms while hiding in a Miami closet. You might remember the iconic photograph.)

The Court in Reno v Flores decided that minors could not be incarcerated with the adults accompanying them across the United States border illegally. The decision was the result of a long dispute in how to best care for these children while the adults were detained for criminal proceedings.

As a result, The Flores case drew a line in the sand. Children could not be incarcerated with their parents or accompanying adult while being held for illegal immigration violations. And a subsequent 1997 agreement stipulated that children must be placed in a safer environment where they could enjoy certain privileges, including education, a clean, safe environment and other normal life cycle amenities that incarcerated individuals do not enjoy.

It was considered a “victory” for human rights. By separating adult and child, we protected the children, reducing any harm done to them for their parent’s or accompanying adult’s decisions

Many recent fake news stories show photos from 2014 when complaining about the undocumented illegal alien childrens care under Trump admin.

    Me dino counted 89 names who only represent the talking heads up front.
    Didn't see Chris Hayes of MSNBC. Perhaps he's just a libtard talking head useful idiot of the noncolluding persuasion.
    Hard to believe, though.

    Thanks Coaldigger,
    Very concise examination of the problem. I would only disagree with the statement that "All the media wants to do is fan the flames"
    The MSM wants to take down the sitting POTUS
    Who is a threat to their masters in the deep state.
    The worst devious dishonest fake news.

    Especially that! That misinterpretation of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments is an egregious miscarriage of legal candor.

    Oh yes, the hard as nails horrible Reno, Clinton kept picking gHhIllary types. I hated how that turned out, that little boy used by politicians. How can Dems say they are so concerned about children, when they regularly support abortion of nearly full term babies! They support MS-13 over legal citizens, resulting in many deaths of children. They just seem to support any agenda which screws over legal immigrantsor other citizens.

    And Mexico's immigration laws are way stricter than the ones here in the US. If we had the same zero tolerance policy Mexico has, you can bet Mexico would stop encouraging people - especially those from bordering nations - to pass through Mexico on their way to the US.

    Now whatever with the Dems do? They have no platform since Trump undid Obamb's law of separating children from their parents. But I am sure they will come up with another lie. Never fear.

    Why not just refuse entry AT the border. Or send them back across whatever border they crossed like the Canadians do.

    I remember poor little Ilian Gonzales. A ping-pong ball in a contest between politics and citizens. That Janet Reno, she was as subtle as an earthquake.

    I want to see pictures of these children as they arrive at the border. Are they in good health? Are they clean? Have they been abused? Are they undernourished? What is their level of education relative to their age? Are they with parents? Is their proof? Are these children safer now without their irresponsible parents, than when they were being dragged across Mexico, riding on top of railroad cars or packed in vans?

    We need immigrants as workers, as a means of correcting our age demographics and maintaining a vibrant society. I am indifferent as to their color, religious beliefs or politics as long as their wellbeing depends on assimilation. I am leery of Islamic extremism like everyone else but neither do I like extreme views from other sects. I was born and raised in a coal mining town where the company sent recruiters all over the world to get workers. We had Russians, Italians, Poles, Slavs, Hispanics and many blacks from the south. Everyone had their beliefs, traditions and a bias for their own people but everyone ultimately wanted to be an American and to be just like everyone else. Not everyone was treated the same and there were problems but they never got out of control and got noticeably better over time.

    Criminals and terrorists are unwelcome but people that want to be here should have a way of coming here and making a new life for themselves. Our immigration laws are politicized mélanges that have been polluted over time by all parties and they need to be fixed. Every immigrant has difficulty with these laws and can get on the wrong side of a law and be deported. College students, workers that temporarily lose their employment, family members that visit and can't bear to go back are not criminals. Our do-nothing, polarized politicians need to fix this or it will continue to get worse. People need to be able to apply to come to the US, be given a reasonable time table and have an orderly process of entry. All the media wants to do is fan the flames to get more clicks or their equivalent.
