  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Three U.S. citizen children were deported to Honduras from Louisiana, sparking national outrage and prompting a U.S. District Judge to criticize the deportation process as lacking "meaningful process."

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty wrote that the toddler, identified as VML, had been sent to Honduras on Friday, alongside her mother and sister, even as the court had sought to clarify the girl's status.

"The Government contends that this is all okay because the mother wishes that the child be deported with her," Doughty wrote. "But the Court doesn't know that."

Additional cases

Another Honduran mother was deported with her two U.S. citizen children, ages 4 and 7

Per AP: The 4-year-old — who is suffering from a rare form of cancer — and the 7-year-old were deported to Honduras within a day of being arrested with their mother, Willis said.

Don't worry if Donald wins at supreme court over birthright citizenship they won't be citizens....
I'm thinking that even if Trump were to win (he won't) that the citizenship is grandfathered in to those already born.

The bigger problem though is all this immigrant hating and scapegoating that is occurring. Immigrants are not the source of much USA problems, though they could be the solution. The birthrate is so low that even to maintain population we need not only those babies born in America but we need immigrants.
To the U.S. citizen child with cancer, Honduras could be a death sentence if they can't get decent care. Similarly, if one approves of this type of action without court oversight, what about children going to other nations with the non-citizen father? There are nations where they would never be seen again on American soil. So hopefully the courts can step up their oversight.
