Here in LA I am pretty sure people know what they are protesting against. You need to look into the REAL STORIES of what has happened to these children...Some were DRUGGED, because they would not stop crying and were so upset. I am not okay with that.
Immigrant children who were detained near Houston, and in some cases separated from their parents at the border, were forced by authorities to take a range of psychotropic drugs in a heavy-handed attempt to manage their trauma, according to a lawsuit made public on Wednesday.
www.newsweek.com...
According to the investigation, which was conducted by Reveal and the Texas Tribune, several of the private facilities that the Office of Refugee Resettlement partners with in order to hold immigrant children have histories of abuse and misconduct allegations against them, including accusations of drugging children and assaulting them sexually and physically.

The allegations in these documents, as well as recent facility inspection reports and other lawsuits, range from unsanitary conditions and invasive monitoring of mail and phone calls to unair-conditioned rooms in hot Texas summers and dosing children with cocktails of psychotropic drugs disguised as vitamins. At one facility, children recounted being held down for forcible injections, which medical records show are powerful antipsychotics and sedatives.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE MARCHING FOR!!!

Oh good lord. The border laws are being enforced as they've been enforced for years. The primary change instituted by the Trump Administration was zero-tolerance which meant that all offenders were sent to jail not a detention center pending proper court procedures whereas previously those that were considered low risk would be released into the community pending their court date WHICH the majority attended (75%) which, surprise surprise reduced the current ridiculous load on the detention facilities. Yes, that means that 25% didn't attend which is troubling if we don't remember that these folks that were released were not prior offenders, had no criminal records, etc. I would also argue that most of those folks were apprehended anyway in time.
Sorry, 1.9 percent is not a huge overwhelming jump overall, particularly given the long-term trends are what they are.
Yes, I do agree that Congress needs to act, but that action should not be held hostage to funding for the Wall, in my opinion.
DHS Report: 84% of Illegal Alien Adults Not In Court For Final Case Hearing
According to this source
cns news
About 11,516 of these adults were given orders of removal by an immigration judge. Among these, 10,436 -- about 84 percent of the total number of completed cases -- were ordered removed in absentia, meaning they did not show up to court as scheduled.

Before the middle of April 2018, the number of families split up at our border in the course of enforcing our laws was a fraction of what it is now.
The Trump Administration changed the policy of enforcement in 2018.
Folks are exercising their American right to assemble and speak because they do not support these changes made in their name.

Nah. Our ####### laws were already being enforced.
The Trump Administration chose a new way to enforce the ####### laws.

Why didn't they show up? Is it because the order had already been served on them and they were deported?

What needs to happen is 1 rule change anyone caught trying to sneak over the border is not allowed to seek asylum. And they should be subject to immediate deportation. The only people to be considered should be people that do it the right way through port of entry.

OK, that makes a little more sense. It also makes it more troubling, though... who skips out on their initial hearing? Would that be the criminal segment who never planned on actually getting asylum in the first place?

Catch and release, is unethical, it is an incentive to come here, and it IS OPEN BORDERS, all you in favor of it are in favor of open borders, and against the will and well being of the american people
