ellapenella Posted June 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) This is terrible ! Why is it being ignored that youths are being sent unaccompanied by their parents & in most cases they're being sent to travel with bad people alone traveling a dangerous route to illegally enter the United States? It was just reported that 10,000 out of 12,000 were without their parents. This is really bad. Aside from being political this is abuse. Thankfully the law being enforced has discovered this.

ellapenella Posted June 19, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Those numbers don't lie. It's a sickening sinking feeling knowing the dangers involved and the uncertainty of where they would end up. People just turned a blind eye. Only cowards cover up for such things.

preacherman76 Posted June 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Its horrific that we have allowed this to go on as long as we have. Both parties have benefitted through this. Reps with cheap labor, and dems with illegal votes. It was just a few years back HSBC was caught laundering money for drug cartels, but they were "to big to fail" so no one got in trouble. Makes me sick to think how our government and even banking system would allow this tragedy to continue for profit. And somehow, Trump is the monster here. smh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have a country that enables these things. Quote And somehow, Trump is the monster here. smh He's going by the book. They want back door amnesty. I hope they see how dangerous their wants are . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote he UNHRC investigates allegations of breaches of human rights in UN member states, and addresses important thematic human rights issues such as freedom of association and assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of belief and religion, women's rights, LGBT rights, and the rights of racial and ethnic minorities.[a So much comes to my mind and I'd like to say that it's strange how we aren't permitted to even speak about Tommy Robinson. I think it's a human rights issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Rights_Council Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are technically extraterritorial through a treaty agreement with the U.S. government. However, in exchange for local police, fire protection and other services, the United Nations agrees to acknowledge most local, state, and federal laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Human_Rights_Council Quote Extraterritoriality is the state of being exempted from the jurisdiction of local law, usually as the result of diplomatic negotiations. Historically, this primarily applied to individuals, as jurisdiction was usually claimed on peoples rather than on lands.[1] Extraterritoriality can also be applied to physical places, such as foreign embassies, military bases of foreign countries, or offices of the United Nations. The three most common cases recognized today internationally relate to the persons and belongings of foreign heads of state, the persons and belongings of ambassadors and other diplomats, and ships in international water https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterritoriality The video in the link you provided is very interesting. It consist all about human rights. So , the UN is somehow exempt from local law , I don't fully understand this , do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
