the solution is the people who wish to temporarily detain people should create systems that do so humanely...i.e.,
* without intentionally separating families as punishment
* without freezing/starving/killing/forgetting people
* without detaining the wrong people because of their skin color
The fact that people want/feel a need to do this does not create a requirement for them to allow anyone to do in in as slapshod a way as possible. The problem you state was created by ICE's behavior, not by California's concern for that behavior.
- bruceb 6y agoIts more complicated than one might think. People presenting themselves as families doesn't actual mean they are families. Do you house men and older boys with women and girls?
- openasocket 6y ago> People presenting themselves as families doesn't actual mean they are families. While that does happen, it's not as common as people think it is. A common statistic cited (and you might be alluding to) that ICE has released is that 30% of asylum seekers are faking family relationships. But that's blatantly false. This statistic comes from a pilot program of running DNA tests on migrants that ICE conducted. What they leave out is it was a pilot program for suspected human traffickers. So it's not 30% of migrants that are human traffickers, it's 30% of suspected human traffickers are actually human traffickers.
- avs733 6y agothey use the threat of separation as a tool...when they stop doing that people can start straw manning in their defense. Until then, it doesn't sound like people lying to them is what they care about.
