  • 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.

Is $450,000 enough for each illegal immigrant separated from family?

You're in the wrong thread to talk about immigration policy. This thread is about the specific cases where large sums of money have been suggested might be granted to certain families as compensation for what happened to them and their children.

Yes, what happened to them due to what transpired as a result of immigration policy. It seems like now you're trying to reduce the factors of this case to the point where there's nothing to discuss about it.

Maybe you want to place some blame on the families themselves which will somehow mitigate what happened to their children. Maybe to suggest it was justified. Who knows. You aren't saying. But you don't need me to do that. You can do that all on your own. Someone might be interested in reading it.

You're taking the position of saying I'm trying to justify what transpired in a disparaging way, while taking the position that what transpired was unjustified, but you won't go into any detail whatsoever as to how and why. Instead I'm supposed to go off and do research to figure out what you're objecting to since you can't tell me in your own words - which somehow is supposed to be a deficiency on my part.

Pretty difficult to do so when none has been supplied. Do you happen to have any at all regarding the cases under discussion? Nobody else seems to have any.

On one hand you've gone on about how thoroughly documented all of it is and there for anyone to look up, while on the other hand saying there's nothing to go by.

I've listed all the aspects of these specific cases that are unknowns. You have had nothing to add in this respect. No details at all. Neither has anyone else added anything. I have linked to just one of the stories that gives infomation as to why we might think the cases are being pursued. You asked for this info and you've been given it.

Do you have anything to add? I'm at the point where this is becoming a waste of my time.

I provided all evidence you asked for....you didn't even read it.

No one should treat your appeals to evidence seriously.

I've spent I don't know how many posts asking for details about the cases in question. Remember them? The ones the thread is actually about? The cases about which I keep saying that there is a dearth of information about them? That all we seem to know is that figures of $450k are being thrown about. Remember them? The ones we are not discussing because of the lack of info but which everyone seems keen to discuss?

So you gave some info? I seem to remember. I didn't read it then because it had nothing to do with the cases that are being taken to court. But I've made a list of the points you cut and pasted.

They were about cartels thinking they could make more money under Biden. That illegal immigrants might think they'd be more welcome under Biden. That illegal immigration numbers were increasing. That gangs were changing their M.O. And that migrants are being told to lie about why they wanted entry. Is any of that true? Some of it might be. Is any of it of any relevance to the cases in question? Not in the slightest. Is any of it related to the cases? Not in any way. Does it add to the information we'd need to decide if the cases are justified? Doesn't come close. Is it in any way useful to the thread? Not in any way whatsoever.

Be sure to let me know when you have something pertinent. I've completely lost interest in this thread and don't want to waste any more of my time so I'll be ignoring anything that doesn't contain any info relevant to the cases. As your next post might be the last word on the matter, try to make it worthwhile.

I made a claim. You asked for evidence. I provided it. You ignored it.

Now you're moving the goalposts and asking for evidence of claims I never made.

Nothing about your posts indicates any sort of sincere effort at dialogue or even a basic level of competence. There's no point in providing you evidence of any claim, especially ones I didn't make.

Let me know when you have anything at all to say about the cases in question. Anything at all. We'll all be keen to find out what you know.

Just did. Sorry if you didn't like it.

We'll skip on whether the claims in that post are true or not. But what is being claimed is that children are being taken into America by illegal immigrants pretending that they are related. And are then sent back across tbe border.

Do you really need me to explain to you that that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the cases being brought against the government? It's as plain as day that you and others only want an argument about immigration. You haven't the slightest interest in discussing the matter at hand.

As I said earlier, I've had enough of trying to get any relevant information from anyone on this thread. So I'm leaving you to it. And as I said earlier, your next post will be the last in this particular discussion, so try to make it a good one.

It has everything to do with it. You want to talk about children left behind, right? At least that's what you claimed earlier as quoted below:

I think you need to do some reading on the matter. How about you start here:

'Three years after Donald Trump ordered a crackdown on undocumented migrants crossing into the US, lawyers are still struggling to find the parents of 545 children separated from them under the “zero-tolerance” policy, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

In a court filing, the ACLU said that about two-thirds of the parents had been deported back to the country of origin in Central America, leaving their separated children behind. In the rush to carry out Trump’s orders, the locations of the parents were not recorded and three years later they still cannot be found.' Parents of 545 children still not found three years after Trump separation policy

So I explained to you who those children are, and why they were left behind. The human traffickers are just as willing to exploit children for financial gain as the biden regime is currently doing by getting ready to pay out big money to those who use children as a cover to commit crimes.

As I said earlier, I've had enough of trying to get any relevant information from anyone on this thread. So I'm leaving you to it. And as I said earlier, your next post will be the last in this particular discussion, so try to make it a good one.

I believe you've already had your mind made up about whether or not my post would be a good one.
