About the "child concentration camps"
| Orphanages don't put children in cages and forbid them from love and affection. Orphanages also don't *take* children from their parents.
Pretty basic shit.
| why are they forcefully separated from parents though that's ridiculous.
| >>335173 If the parents are abusive child protection can actually take away the children from the abusive parents.
| As opposed to this case, where they're being taken away from loving parents to BE abused.
| I like how people here are confident that these children would get love and affection from their parents and be safe in a refugee camp with all these adults.
You missed the part where I said that the mass of illegal migrants should probably have also have some criminals and putting all children and adults in one cage couldn't go better than separating them?

You also forgot to mention that some of the adults and children are not even related. Just grab any old child, the stupid gringos will fall for it anyway.

This.

I've said this in another thread, but bringing someone into the US illegally (especially a child) is a felony punishable by up to 10 years. Even for citizens it's the norm that children are separated from felon parents whilst the system works out what's to be done with them. The conditions of the holding facilities are unsatisfactory, but separation is not extraordinary.

Separation is not the norm, and no specific law mandates separating children from their parents.

You dunce, I'm saying that separating children from felon parents is entirely normal because said felons are confined to jail or prison. Of course their children aren't sent there with them. Immigration advocates bawl about 2000 illegal immigrant kids but have you ever considered how many American children are under DHS because their parents are felons? Or because their parents are in prison?
Again, conditions aside, it is the same.
| >>336301 this. Why can't people understand something so simple. Are you people intentionally being dishonest pedants?

What a coincidence, that's EXACTLY how the the law treats these very same immigrant children!
From the Flores Settlement:
And the INS shall release a minor from its custody without unnecessary delay, in the following order of preference, to: A. a parent; B. a legal guardian; C. an adult relative (brother, sister, aunt, uncle, or grandparent); D. an adult individual or entity designated by the parent or legal guardian as capable and willing to care for...
| the minor's well-being in (i) a declaration signed under penalty of perjury before an immigration or consular officer... etc.
The only hiccup is that a;) often nobody can verify who the kids or any of their relatives are b;) even if you can, they probably all live in Guatemala or thereabouts c;) there are no foster programs with the resources to take so many kids in & d:) the governments of their homelands are often too disorganized or apathetic to coordinate on immigration.

| What's the difference between these "child concentration camps" and orphanages? Isn't it actually a good thing the children are AT LEAST separated from the mass of illegal migrants, of which - you should agree - at least some could kidnap and traffic them?
These children wouldn't be in any better position should they be left with their parents. Their life is shit already, we just put aside blind morals to protect the children from criminals.
