U.S. Is Said to Consider Reinstating Detention of Migrant Families

Biden administration promises to end family Detention

Look I know it's uncomfortable but Credit card Biden is not the great guy people always make him out to be. The original child predator guy, attacking inner-city youth violence as his justification for the 3 strikes law. Since then only 13% of the country is african american but over 30% in jail are african americans and less than 67% have been convicted of anything. Average is a 3 year wait for trial. 50% of all charges are for non violent drug offenses. Amazingly has improved more than I realized but still dystopian.

Just watch his justification to let City bank adjust CC interest rates without notifying the card holder. To like 17% a month. After that the credit card debt crisis which had a back bone in the dot com crash but no one talks about.

I watched this on C-span as a kid. Also when he and Hillary took the floor to tell the American people why the democrats needed to support the Iraq war. Bernie and Warren were the only two members who voted against it.

Bidens cabinet in the senate worked with Republicans to draft the patriot act overnight and pass it. How the hell did they even do that things thicker than my microwave. Staffers have said most of that legislation had already been drafted and was ready for deployment. Hillary voted to refund it everytime while Bernie voted no everytime.

Or the fact that Biden and McConnell were best freinds in the senate and ate lunch together every day. I mean come on.

They were never Trumps border policies when he came into office. He just expanded on them and made him his own. Is Said to Consider Reinstating Detention of Migrant Families which will incarcerate children again. I admit I was mistaken here. Things actually changed since 2020.

Biden and Obama and Trump and Kerry and Bush all took money from that company who built the prisons under the Obama administration. Nobody cares. Unless it supports there view.

I must admit when I learned that the expansion of the border prisons had happened under Obama who had the largest number of deportations that year not to mention imprisoned journalists. I felt sick and lost. I've seen the ice cops out here man just ridiculous. Plain clothes driving Hondas. Just off. Seen those guys handcuffing kids myself.

Republicans suck. These days really suck but if you're just going to give the people in office unchecked unobstructed power when it's your team in office they will take advantage of you. Even if you don't believe it. They are all working for The corporate donor classes interest.

*edit for prison data. *children separation may begin again mistakenly I meant family Detention which still puts kids in jail

What even? You start out by saying 10% of people in the U.S. are in jail which is obviously not true. It's like half of one percent.

You say 75% of people are in jail for non-violent drug offenses, but ALL drug offenses add up to less than 50%, let alone nonviolent ones.

I scrolled down and saw you saying that children are separated from families at the U.S. border. That's a total false equivalency. People were really mad about Trump's policy to separate every single child from every family member, even with documented evidence to show they were related. The idea was that's such a horrible experience no parent would willingly do it. Let that sink in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_administration_family_separation_policy

That was rescinded when the courts were about to rule that if the government separated families it had to put them back together again - and the government forgot to have any plan whatsoever to do that. The courts did rule in that way. The government STILL hasn't managed to reunite all families.
