so, if you're a little slow, or brainwashed by (social) media, this is what happened today with the detention policy.

- there is a rule in the united states that says you can't hold kids in detention. because they're kids. and it's detention.
- this rule is expensive to enforce, and makes it harder to deport migrants by adding a layer of bureaucracy, around kids.
- so, the republicans (in apparent collusion with the democrats) cooked up this media campaign to make you feel bad for kids that had been separated from their parents, under court order, for their best interests.
- under manufactured popular pressure, the president relented, by signing an (illegal) executive order that ends the separation of kids at the border.

what's next?

what's next is that, free of the problems associated with caring for migrant children, the administration is going to push for quicker deportations. families will no longer be able to use their kids as a "loophole" to claim status - the whole family will be given the boot as quickly as possible, and likely without meaningful due process.

the purpose of this scam - which included pleas from both melania and ivanka - was to make it harder to claim refugee status in the united states.

liberals just got played. badly. worse than i've ever seen...
