The fake news media once again joined hands with Democrats to wage a misinformation campaign about children being separated from adults who attempt to illegally enter the United States.
As White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley recently explained, this has been a last-ditch effort by Democrats to sidestep immigration reform, tarnish the Trump Administration and push an open borders policy that Americans have rejected.
“It’s all the Democrats doing. And, let’s be clear about what they’re asking us to understand and believe,” Gidley reportedly said. “Democrats are saying: you can’t deport them, you can’t detain them, you can’t prosecute them. The only thing you can do — per a Democrat — is to release them into the interior without any ramification for what they’ve done by breaking our laws. It’s absolutely incredible. There’s only two things that can happen when they come here. Either release them into the interior as a family unit or separate the families. That’s what the law says.”
But the left-wing propaganda circulating fake news outlets has not reflected the facts the about law-based protocols followed by the U.S. Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security and other agencies that handle the apprehension of foreigners attempting illegal entry into the U.S.
Americans have every right to know the truth about devious, false messaging and the laws regarding border practices.
Creating a False Narrative
In what may rank among the most underhanded scams by a congressman, U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley walks up to a facility for immigrant children while streaming live on Facebook and demands entry.
The Democrat has made no previous arrangements, has not acquired proper clearance and in all likelihood knows he will be turned away by officers following long-established protocols. No unauthorized person may enter such a child facility without clearance for the safety of the minors, regardless of who they are or claim to be.
Sen. Merkley ran a headline-grabbing scam and the fake news media was happy to climb on board. With too many citizens still seeing news alerts by outlets like CNN, the deceptive Democrat was swiftly joined by others from his party to decry children and parents being separated.
All of them know full well that the law requiring this action was enacted in 1996 and signed into law by Pres. Bill Clinton. Then-First Lady Hillary Clinton did not speak out against the federal law he signed, known as the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.”
The reform legislation directed the law enforcement to jail those who attempted to illegally enter the country, and for children to be cared for by Human Services agencies. Another bit of trivia Democrats may not want Americans to know is that it directed the U.S. Attorney General to construct the barriers along the U.S.-Mexico borders in place today.
Yes, Bill and Hillary Clinton held the White House when child separations began!
Obama Hid Child Separations from the Public
To say that the biased media was complicit in the wrongdoing and unsavory conduct of the Obama Administration would be a gross understatement.
Since the child-parent separations began making splashy headlines, some outlets have gone as far as to allow Obama-era cronies to say that administration did not follow the law. Under Obama, more than 2.5 million people were deported, including refugees fleeing South American violence, and families were separated in accordance with the Clinton-era law.
Before the 2016 election, Obama’s critics, even at human rights organizations, were muted in the mainstream media.
“Twenty years of unjust detention, deportation and family separation is 20 years too much,” Alison Parker reportedly said at Human Rights Watch. “Let this be the last anniversary for these terrible laws.”
Although false headline-seekers such as Sen. Merkley are distorting the situation, Democrat U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar from Texas has gone on the record stating that Obama separated families and sent large numbers of children to Human Services detention centers.
“It was kept very quiet under the Obama Administration. There were large numbers of people coming in. The Obama administration was trying to keep this quiet,” the Texas Democrat reportedly said.
Unfortunately for everyday Americans, responsible fact-based journalism fights an uphill battle to cut through the growing fake news noise.
Why Children and Adults are Separated
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen — the first woman to hold the high office — recently pushed back on the false headlines that the procedure is a Trump-era policy that applies to asylum seekers.
“This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry,” Nielson tweeted.
In fact, the law applies only to those who commit a criminal act. Illegal entry is a federal crime. And that is the crux of the federal law — criminal activity. These are some of the key reasons children are placed with protective services:
- Criminal Arrest: Adults are arrested and held in jail. Children would be unsafe in prison.
- Child Trafficking: Criminal organizations smuggle in children for illicit purposes. Separation frees them from their kidnappers.
- Coyotes: Criminal human smugglers bring children across the border, then hold them hostage and extort money from families.
While hypocrisy reins among career politicians trying to distance themselves about the law, Democrats have an opportunity to put another procedure in place by passing immigration reform.
Perhaps First Lady Melania Trump stands as the country’s most credible voice. She released an official statement.
“Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform,” the statement reads. “She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart.”

This is a blatant lie. Sessions explained why they are changing the policy (taking away Border Patrol discretion) in his news conference. So, either be a true Republican and say you DO support separation to “deter” other families from coming OR decide that under Trump any human with a heart cannot belong to the GOP. McCain’s top strategist in 2012 just left the party. Look these things up; don’t believe this news source!

The lie you’re believing is that this has been going on for 20 plus years, and the those who don’t believe it keep the blinders on due to their political preferences. So sorry you think this publication is false, but its totally up to you and due diligence to really search it out for yourself. I think you’ll find some hidden facts elsewhere in government websites and independent reporting sites. Remember that the Obama administration tried to silence the media on many social issues.
WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT SHARE WITH OTHERS
Same law was in place during the black boy’s administration, and NOT a peep about it, the liberals are just total and complete hypocrites. While they are screaming about this someone should take them on a tour of American prisons; so they can see how many American citizens are incarcerated and how many have their children with them.
THEY COMMITTED MISDEMEANOR YOU HEATLESS BASTARD
The only fake news is Faux News. The pictures speak for themselves. Do you think we are all stupid to believe this story considering what we see on TV?
Still miss sucking Barry’s dick, I see Richard.
If these folks do not want to be separated from their children, QUIT BREAKING THE LAW BY ENTERING THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY! DUH! We are letting a bunch of immigrants out smart us! Con us into believing they are trying to flee oppression. Time for this country to get tough on illegal immigration! Come in the right way or pay a stiff criminal penalty! Our President is doing a great job and he has my backing 110%!
This article is creating a “Misleading Narrative.” Yes, President Clinton signed the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.” However, neither he nor the Democratic party initiated it. When Republicans won the House of Representatives in 1994, it was that party, and particularly Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the new chair of the Immigration Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee who initiated it. Doris Meissner, who was head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service at the time, was quoted as saying that “They (Republicans) were about the business of really toughening up immigration law,” “And that is what they did” by sticking immigration provisions in welfare reform and the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (or AEDPA). Without the Democrat’s action to limit the Republican’s legislation, the law would have been much more onerous than it actually is.
Why is so hard for the conservative media to base their arguments on real facts rather alternative facts? Stop the spin and report honestly. Another “for instance” would be your statement that “[N]o unauthorized person may enter such a child facility without clearance for the safety of the minors, regardless of who they are or claim to be.” The problem with your statement is that even under the Bureau of Prison rules, members of Congress are classified as official law enforcement visitors and require no prior approval. They just need to show up and display their credentials.
If you take all of the falsities and misrepresentations out of your article you wouldn’t have an article.
*U R BEING BLOCKED BY ” FAKEBOOK”
F U
Poor bastard must have told the truth!
*YO…..WAKE UP!! THIS IS Y WE NEED 2 COME OUT IN MASSIVE NUMBERS ON “NOV 2018” & VOTE “REPUB” EVEN IF IT MEANS VOTING 4 REPUBS WE DON’T LIKE, OTHERWISE “TRUMP” MIGHT LOSE THE HOUSE OR THE SENATE OR BOTH, PERIOD!! AL& THE BIKER VETS
Al has the right idea. Republicans need to come out in November as never before.
It is absolutely CRUCIAL THAT THE WALL BE BUILT TO PROTECT AMERICA FROM CRIMINALS COMING IN FROM, ONLY GOD KNOWS WHERE WITH THE INTENT OF DESTROYING AMERICA. All ILLEGAL ALIENS MUST GO!
Helen, we don’t need people coming in from the outside to destroy this country because we already have the Democrats doing a fine job of that.
5 AND 6 YEAR OLD CRIMINALS YOU HAVE BEEN A IDIOT SINCE BIRTH..
All illegals than come across Mexico and cross into the United States should be given back to Mexico and let them solve the problem that they allowed to happen.
Of course it is all a lie. The lame misreporting, misrepresenting and out right lying media has not reported the total truth since the early 60s. What’s even more pathetic, we still have Americans who believe their absolute BS. The deomSCUM party along with the media spew nothing but garbage to further their own warped political agenda. I can’t believe there are people in this country who will listen to their total lies. Do some real research if you really want to know what’s going on — DON”T depend on the demoTRASH or networks like msnbc, cnn,abc,cbs,or nbc– they report nothing but biased trash. In fact — I just turned off Fox news because one of their so-called reporters was playing right into this phony BS .
This is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. Both parties have members who see advantages to allowing illegal aliens to enter — one as cheap labor, the other as new votes. Time after time, The People have shown their clear preference for the law to be upheld, and to control the illegal entry into our country. It matters little who initiated the 1996 law or who signed it — it is now well-established law, and those coming across the border illegally know full well that the consequences include being separated from their kids. It’s their choice; nobody is forcing them to cross over so we can deprive of them of their offspring!
The media and delusional democrats lie, lie, and lie! They are anti-America hating disgusting people, and I wish they were no longer in the greatest nation on this planet.
WHAT THE HELL IS DELUSIONAL ABOUT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TAKEN BY FORCE ON TELEVISON EXCEPT FOX NEWS.
YOU ARE GOING TO A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL.
Oh, the outrage of these children being separated from their mothers but 900+ babies a day in America are ripped from their mother’s womb but that is ok because the lying left liberals call it a “choice” and people have believed the lie and don’t call it what it is, murder. Every human who kills another human or a rapist who rapes has also made a “choice”…..to kill and violate. They can justify it all they want, doesn’t change the truth! The lying media are so compassionate for the illegals and are outraged by the injustice but praise and support abortionists, they are self righteous and astonishingly hypocritical!!!
Hey Juan, when you head off to invade a foreign country, put the kids in day care!
The Democratic Party has be come a lying fake party.; Now they resort to hate campaigns against all Trump supporters. If you voted for Trump we are responsible for obeying the law. We supposedly have become evil and are being compared to Nazis. This is a thousand times worse than being in a basket of deplorable s. We have to rise up and purge these demons from our society by voting Republican this November. Gary
The media is lying again? Well DUH!!!!!! Tell me something I don’t know.
T o all that support President TRump and America let us take the HIGH ROAD . WE changed things in NOV 2016 with our votes…..WE can continue that vision with our votes at the midterms. Let’s try to do that without the vulgarity of those against us. I will pray that the HATRED and EVIL, using the word NAZI to describe Americans will not prevail. I am still grateful to OUR PRESIDENT who is trying to serve ALL AMERICANS
Before you get your knickers in a wad over “children of a tender age” being separated from their parents at the border, consider a few facts. Adult illegal aliens are felons, having broken the law by entering the country illegally. Should “children of a tender age” (that is what Leftists call them) be put into a shelter under the custody of Health and Human Services, or be allowed to stay with their jailed parents? If you consider that children stay with the parents, the U.S. has more people in jail than most other countries in the world. Are we then obligated to round up the children of jailed parents to unify the families by jailing the children? If you’re done with that, consider this. The people doing all the weeping, wailing, and shedding of tears for alien children are the same people who, since the passage of Roe vs. Wade, have murdered over SIX MILLION American children for the crime of being inconvenient to their mothers. And they consider partial birth abortion as one of the methods. They take a fully viable person, in the process of being born, and as long as any part of the person is still inside the mother, a doctor may push surgical scissors through the soft part of the person’s skull and snip the brain into hamburger. The mothers of these people report no pain from the procedure. The murder victims have no opinion because they’re too young to have learned to speak. And by the way they’re dead. If the Left is so rabidly in favor of family unity, how can they rationalize this behavior? Inquiring minds want to know!
I agree whole heartedly with the above comments as I am PRO LIFE and although I am not a US Citizen and Live in Trinidad & Tobago I believe that all countries have the right and need to have proper border protection. We are ourselves having lots of Venezuelans fleeing to our country which is only a couple of miles off the Venezuelan coast. We however do not have the problems that the USA is experiencing where the press is so against the ruling Government that they see everything being done as a negative.
The people who are against President Trump should think about what he has actually accomplished for the citizens of the USA and they might change their tune.
