Last year, the Democrats portrayed President Trump as a monster for authorizing an immigration policy under which border authorities separated some children from the "Families" with which they had illegally entered the country.
As it happens, the "Inhumane" change proposed by the Trump administration would keep families together by preventing the separation of children from families awaiting immigration hearings.
The Flores settlement that Pelosi and the Democrats want so desperately to keep in place incentivizes illegal aliens to game our immigration system by bringing children to the border.
In 1997, the government settled a long-standing piece of litigation that said children who had entered the country illegally would be detained in the least restrictive setting possible for the shortest period of time in order to be placed with a family member or some other qualified care provider.
Because the adults with whom these children arrived were frequently detained due to eligibility issues and were unlikely to get an immigration hearing within three weeks, the DHS was faced with the choice of separating the children from their "Parents" and releasing the entire "Family unit" into the general U.S. population.
The rule fulfills one of the central, original purposes of the 1997 Flores court settlement to ensure appropriate care for all children.
It's difficult to escape the impression that the Democrats are less interested in the welfare of the families and children than in perpetuating the failed "Catch and release" policy that has permitted countless illegal immigrants to disappear into the general population and make their way to sanctuary cities.
