    Like everything this half brain hate zombie brings up should be laughed at

    But yeah, I’m sure an untouched part of earth has some bull**** economic value if you rape that earth enough

    SANTA ANA, California (AP) — This story is part of an ongoing joint investigation between The Associated Press and the PBS series FRONTLINE on the treatment of migrant children, which includes an upcoming film.
    ___
    After local Guatemalan officials burned down an environmental activist’s home, he decided to leave his village behind and flee to the United States, hoping he’d be granted asylum and his little boy, whose heart was failing, would receive lifesaving medical care.

    But after crossing the border into Arizona in May of last year, Border Patrol agents tore the man’s 7-year-old son from his arms and sent the father nearly 2,000 miles (3,220 kilometers) away to a detention center in Georgia. The boy, now 8, went into a U.S.-funded foster home for migrant children in New York.

    The foster care programs are aimed at providing migrant children with care while authorities work to connect them with parents, relatives or other sponsors. But instead the boy told a counselor he was repeatedly sexually molested by other boys in the foster home.

    A review of 38 legal claims obtained by The Associated Press — some of which have never been made public — shows taxpayers could be on the hook for more than $200 million in damages from parents who said their children were harmed while in government custody.

    The father and son are among dozens of families — separated at the border as part of the Trump administration’s zero tolerance policy — who are now preparing to sue the federal government, including several who say their young children were sexually, physically or emotionally abused in federally funded foster care.

    https://apnews.com/b44559a135654616aa0e69a3ec7d2339

    I'm thinking the legal exposure is going to significantly exceed the amount I bolded. We have a situation in which a policy was put in place to intentionally harm people in order to deter them from applying for asylum.

    No doubt.

    Didn’t Truman have a go at this in the 40’s?

    he did...maybe Iceland too...during the cold war and even now there is a lot of strategic value to controlling the areas under the seas in that region

    Trump should be on the hook for this. He directly caused and pushed for this kind of treatment of these poor souls who only want to be Americans.

    Luckily Trump has shown a resistance to starting war, unlike his predecessors

    Maybe you should refresh your history to understand why the Jewish people felt the need to treat the Palestinians differently.
