i have a feeling that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
how the fuck do you """lose track""" of them
waiting for the inevitable
"they're illegals who cares"
they said it last time and im sure they'll justify it with something even more dehumanizing this time.
Why is that kind of extremely startling to me?
Why do I have a very very bad feeling about this?...
"could not determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,488 out of 11,254 children the agency had placed with sponsors in 2018"
Are we sure this isn't one of the several white supremacists in the organization playing a sick joke?
Is it bad that I’m at the point where I think it’s either slave trade or mass grave?
Maybe some of the kids died of abuse or poor treatment and they tried to sweep them under the rug...
If this happened 40 years ago there would be rioting in the streets (in the north at least), this is just absolutely foul.
I guess it's as appropriate as any other time to trot this one out:
“But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.
And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."

This is the new GOP normal, every Republican president will have policies against migrants like this now.
I remember seeing someone discuss how this is actually a good thing. This is because supposedly most of the kids that are placed with sponsors are placed with family members, like cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. who are legal citizens. When they lose track of them, it doesn't necessarily mean that they have disappeared into some horrifying trafficking network somewhere, but rather that they are most likely just with these family members who have since moved or stopped reporting back to the government about their whereabouts. This is especially important since given the fact that the child was already undocumented, their sponsor failing to report in may be because they have more undocumented immigrants either in their family or in their neighborhood who they are trying to protect.
That isn't to say that every single one of them is safe, but rather the majority likely are. Think of it like this - the government totally isn't perpetually tracking your whereabouts /s so why would it be an entirely bad thing for them to lose track of these kids? I understand that there is the risk that they end up in harmful situations, but that is also a reality for kids that aren't in the system to begin with and is an entirely different problem that needs to be dealt with.
Since 2016, officials at the Department of Health and Human Services have called sponsors to check on children 30 days after they were placed there. But the department has also said it was not legally responsible for children after they were released from the custody of its office of refugee resettlement.
Caitlin Oakley, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, offered a response to the findings on Tuesday night. “As communicated to members of Congress multiple times,” she said, “these children are not ‘lost.’ Their sponsors — who are usually parents or family members and in all cases have been vetted for criminality and ability to provide for them — simply did not respond or could not be reached when this voluntary call was made.”

Then whats the point of detaining them and seperating them from their parents if you're not going to literally check on them when they are in the country. You're basically splitting kids for the fun of it at that point rather than caring for their safety or well being.
It's not about protecting the children, it's about scaring the parents. "Don't try to come here illegally unless you want to risk us ripping your children away and never being able to find them again!"
If anything losing thousands of children is beneficial to their cause.
I wouldn't be surprised to come to learn that all of these children are victims of child sex trafficking.
Makes you wonder why pizza gate was so utterly labeled "crazy" - it's gaslighting.
I'm just waiting for the day a major GOP candidate runs on the platform of re-instituting mandatory segregation - or hell, fucking slavery. With the direction their party is heading in, they'll have no one left voting for them other than the far right, so eventually they will probably give up all pretenses and just start campaigning for white nationalism wholesale.

Already a thing with Roy "Famlies were better off during slavery" "The amendments after the first 10 (especially the 13th) are bad" Moore
Those two guys with the "I'd rather be Russian then a Democrat" shirts actually talked and said they just want Democrats to give Trump a chance.
We gave him a chance, he committed crimes against humanity and treason. I don't think he deserves an eighth.
we really shouldn't have given him a chance in the first place
i was already pretty skeptical of his ability to handle himself given his history but now that he's committing actual crimes against humanity, he's done more than just go too far.
as much as i dont want to believe that he'll actually use this as a cover to commit something worse, i wouldn't be surprised if they didnt just outright disappear.
Well "just give him a chance" was only to get people who opposed him to shut up anyways, not because they expected anything different than what he's done. So those retards are largely satisfied because they got their way to the detriment of many people.
wow, and to think I feel bad when I lose track of a client's order at my retail job
I was saying that the spokesperson’s dumb cop out of “it’ not our responsibility” is bullshit.
Do you want child slave smuggling? This is how you get child slave smuggling.

If you don't have anything keeping you tied down in the United States, getting the fuck out before the genocide goes into full swing and the borders close to people trying to leave is probably a good idea.
Might be a good idea for personal survival, but that would mean giving up on the country and consigning billions to the fate you're fleeing from. I'm sticking this out, holding onto a rifle, and voting for as long as we're still having elections.
I dunno, I think the rest of the world can pick up the slack.
Everyone sane has already realized the US is not dependable anymore.
