The O.C. Register is reporting that “Children of illegal immigrants arrested at workplace raids face an increasing amount of family separation, economic hardship and psychological trauma, according to a new report released Wednesday.”
I knew it! These raids thrill the Republicans, who are supposed to promote family values. I guess that those values are not extended to immigrant families.
The article also stated that “”The effect of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids on children is inevitable and underappreciated,” said Rosa Maria Castaneda, one of the authors of the report, commissioned by the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy organization. The study was prepared by the Urban Institute.”
Recommendations in the report include:
- Congress should ensure that children will be protected during the raids.
- ICE should develop a strict policy on the release of the parents. Single parents should be released early in the day and not held overnight.
- Detainees should be allowed to make phone calls.
- Schools should develop a system to deal with ICE raids, and make sure that all the children affected are in the care of an adult after the school day ends.
Well, a solution should be in the making next year, as I cannot see anyway that the GOP will hang on to the White House.
Are the parents not responsible for their actions and the resulting impact on their families?
Even Hillary Clinton attempted to blame the failure of Congress to pass immigration reform on President Bush, yet he wanted to sign amnesty for them all.
Lay blame where it is due.
Good criminals should go free?
Why doesn’t these organizations that come up with these ideas, also raise the money themselves to pay for them? Why wait for the Fed
once again we have art supporting law breakers . its ILLEGAL immagrants art not immigrants . ice is not separating these familys its the parents who came here ILLEGAL ‘. the open border la raza folks always use the it breaks up familys and causes economic hardship . thats right on the TAX PAYING LEGAL PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY..
Jesus, Art, how do you look yourself in the mirror each day? What a gutless, pandering fool! Have you ever truly held any public position where you swore an oath to uphold our laws? This isn’t a joke, this is serious stuff. Illegal immigration is a true cancer on our society, and placing blame ANYWHERE but on these kids’ parents is a disgusting and morally corrupt dodge. You really are a fool, Art. GROW UP.
I read today in the OCR (Nov. 2) that there is some ORG’s that are helping these people comply with the laws, pay the costs of become legal residents.
So now the people who are very anti-illegal have a place to donate money that will help cure this problem.
SO ART IS BLAMING ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AND REPUBLICANS RATHER THAN THE LAWBREAKING PARENTS FOR CRIMES ILLEGALS HAVE COMMITTED AGAINST THIS COUNTRY? GIVE ME A BREAK! ART, YOU SOUND LIKE ELVIRA ARELLANO, EXPLOITING CHILDREN TO PROMOTE A POLITICAL AGENDA.
