I can see why you might not be comfortable with such imagery. Why is that?
Your first instinct is to turn it around on the poster, rather than address the trauma of separation of such a toddler from her parent in any meaningful way. Why is that?
They changed the linking code. You can still embed, but I forget the new code. have it in a notepad file somewhere... HOpe it wasn't too over the top.

Same for you too.
Your moral failure to address the actual underlying issue proves a lot of criticisms of modern conservatism I have completely right.
That's exactly what this move is. Emotional leverage.
Crass as all but it's a monster lever.
For who? Unpack this one for me.
It's a lever for Trump's agenda. He couldn't care less about the optics which makes it stronger.
He doesn't give 2 s one way or the other about the children which just lengthens the lever.
Exclusive: US officials likely lost track of nearly 6,000 unaccompanied migrant kids
the Trump administration has likely lost track of nearly 6,000 unaccompanied migrant children, thousands more than lawmakers were alerted to last month, according to a McClatchy review of federal data.
Federal officials acknowledged last month that nearly 1,500 unaccompanied minors arrived on the southern border alone without their parents and were placed with sponsors who did not keep in touch with federal officials, but those numbers were only a snapshot of a three- month period during the last fiscal year.
“There is a lot more,” said a field specialist who worked in the Office of Refugee Resettlement until earlier this year and was tasked with reaching out to sponsors and children to check on their well-being.
“You can bet that the numbers are higher. It doesn’t really give you a real picture.”

So all y'all Repug voters wanted little Latinas, and Latinos, getting raped as sex slaves by pedophiles, right?
Trump Administration Holding Babies And Toddlers In Multiple ‘Tender Age’ Shelters: AP
There are three shelters running in South Texas, with a fourth one planned for Houston,
“babies and other young children” are being sent to “tender age” shelters in Texas,
Visitors to the centers described “playrooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis.”
Children at the shelters were found to be “hysterical, crying and acting out.”
“The thought that they are going to be putting such little kids in an ins utional setting? I mean it is hard for me to even wrap my mind around it,” Kay Bellor of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, a nonprofit that provides child welfare services to migrant children, told AP this week.
“Toddlers are being detained,”

Mic e Brane, director of migrant rights at the Women’s Refugee Commission, described seeing
“5-year-olds in cages alone with no adult care” and a 4-year-old whose diapers were being changed by other detained children as she visited a facility where migrants were being held.
On Monday, ProPublica released an audio clip of 10 young Central American children held by Border Patrol — many of them
crying so hard that it sounded as if they could “barely breathe.”
Lawyers and medical professionals who visited the shelters said they found the facilities to be “clean and safe” but stressed it wasn’t the centers themselves that were the issue.
“The shelters aren’t the problem, it’s taking kids from their parents that’s the problem,”
Research has shown that
ins utionalizing children can cause lasting emotional scars, as well as physical and mental health issues.
″[Separating] children and parents at the border is a practice that has the potential to cause significant, lifelong harm to the children involved,”
wrote the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Prac ioners in a statement last week denouncing the practice.
“Research clearly shows that traumatic life experiences in childhood, especially those that involve loss of a caregiver or parent, cause lifelong risk for cardiovascular and mental health disease.”

A Troubling Prognosis for Migrant Children in Detention: ‘The Earlier They’re Out, the Better’
Some youngsters retreat entirely, their eyes empty, bodies limp, their isolation a wall of defiance. Others cannot sit still: watchful, hyperactive, ever uncertain.
Some compulsively jump into the laps of strangers, or grab their legs and hold on for life. And some children, somehow, move past a sudden separation from their parents, tapping a well of resilience.
The Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents has alarmed child psychologists and experts who study human development.
psychologists have learned a great deal about what happens to ins utionalized children over time, and in that research there are clues to the potential emotional harms faced by migrant children severed from their parents.
A number of medical organizations, including those governing psychology, psychiatry and pediatrics, have issued letters of protest, citing an increased risk of anxiety and depression in the children, as well as post-traumatic stress and attention-deficit disorder.

Having damaged the kids, like American society damages non-white kids with poverty, the Repug Steve Kings, etc will say blacks, browns are genetically inferior to whites.
if we kill them at the border, they'll stop coming.

Satire fail on my part of your basic Texas mouth breather.
So yeah... I read your article from El Paso...
speaking of el paso......i spent a month there one day.
Lol, CNN tries to shame this border patrol SPOK and he drops truth nukes
There is so much misinformation out there about the Trump administration's new "zero tolerance" policy of separating parents and children at the border. Before responding to a post defending this policy, please do your research..I'll make it easier for you:
Myth: This is not a new policy and was practiced under Obama and Clinton - FALSE. The policy to separate parents and children is new and was ins uted on 4/6/2018. It was the brainchild of John Kelly to serve as a deterrent for undo ented immigration, approved by Trump, and adopted by Sessions. Prior administrations detained migrant families but didn’t have a practice of forcibly separating parents from their children unless the adults were deemed unfit.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-re...49751/download
Myth: This is the only way to deter undo ented immigration - FALSE. Annual trends show that undo ented immigration is at a 46 year low. We do NOT have people rushing to cross our border. What we have are people crossing the border illegally because they've already been hired by a US company, or because they are seeking political asylum. Economic migrants come to this country because our country has kept the demand going. But again, most of these people are not economic migrants, they are asylum-seekers.
https://www.npr.org/2017/12/05/56854...it-46-year-low
Myth: Most of the people coming across the border are just trying to take advantage of our country by taking our jobs - FALSE. Most of the parents who have been impacted by Trump's "zero tolerance" policy have presented themselves as political asylum-seekers at a U.S. port-of-entry, from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Rather than processing their claims, they have been taken into custody on the spot and had their children ripped from their arms. The ACLU alleges that this practice violates the Asylum Act, and the UN asserts that it violates the UN Treaty on the State of Refugees, one of the few treaties the US has ratified. This is an illegal act on the part of the United States government, not to mention morally and ethically reprehensible.
https://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/21/u...ant-labor.html
Myth: We're a country that respects the Rule of Law, and if people break the law, this is what they get - FALSE. We are a country that has an above-ground system of immigration and an underground system. Our government (under both parties) has always been aware that US companies recruit workers in the poorest parts of Mexico for cheap labor, and ICE (and its predecessor INS) has looked the other way because this underground economy benefits our country to the tune of billions of dollars annually. Thus, even though the majority of people crossing the border now are asylum-seekers, those who are economic migrants (migrant workers) likely have been recruited here to do jobs Americans will not do.
https://www.upi.com/Donald-Trumps-wa...2621477498203/
Myth: The children have to be separated from their parents because their parents must be arrested and it would be cruel to put children in jail with their parents - FALSE. Seeking asylum is not against the law. Also, with regard to economic migrants, crossing the border without do entation is a misdemeanor not requiring an arrest. Additionally, parents have been detained with their children in ICE "family residential centers" for years. The Trump administration's shift in policy is for political purposes only, not legal ones.
See p. 18: https://www.aclu.org/legal-do ent....dismiss-doc-56
Myth: We have rampant fraud in our asylum process the proof of which is the significant increase we have in the number of people applying for asylum. FALSE. The increase in asylum seekers is a direct result of the increase in civil conflict and violence across the globe. While some people may believe that we shouldn't allow any refugees into our country because "it's not our problem," neither our current asylum law nor our ideological foundation as a country support such an isolationist approach. There is very little evidence to support Sessions' claim that abuse of our asylum-seeking policies is rampant. Also, what Sessions failed to mention is that the majority of asylum seekers are from China, not South of the border. Here is a very fair and balanced assessment of his statements:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m....em-fraudulent/
Myth: This policy is legal. FALSE. The ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on 5/6, and a recent court ruling denied the government's motion to dismiss the suit. The judge deciding the case stated that the Trump Administration policy is "brutal, offensive, and fails to comport with traditional notions of fair play and decency." The case is moving forward because it was deemed to have legal merit.
