Dear Cdl. Dolan: Read the LAW About Immigrants

Cdl. Dolan has been hoodwinked by the Social Justice Warriors known as "USCC Staffers."  He's not the only prelate with this problem, but he's the only one who appeared on CNN and told all twenty-three viewers of that show that he really doesn't know anything about the "children" problem at the border.

Here's the problem, Your Eminence.   First:  anyone can LEGALLY request asylum at any US Port-of-Entry.  No 'separations' will occur under those conditions.

However, if one crosses the border ILLEGALLY, well, then.....

This is a BRIEF excerpt from an article which describes a COMPLEX set of rules, so if you want the whole thing read the linked item.

...The adult should be reunited quickly with his or her child, and the family returned home as a unit. In this scenario, there’s only a very brief separation.

Where it becomes much more of an issue is if the adult files an asylum claim. In that scenario, the adults are almost certainly going to be detained longer than the government is allowed to hold their children.

That’s because of something called the Flores Consent Decree from 1997. It says that unaccompanied children can be held only 20 days. A ruling by the Ninth Circuit extended this 20-day limit to children who come as part of family units. So even if we want to hold a family unit together, we are forbidden from doing so.....

As we all know, the 9th Circus is by far the left-most wackiest Court in the USA, if not the entire universe.  (By the way, this Consent Decree was brought up by Grim's Hall two weeks ago.  It's not news.)

You can take up the legalities with the Court, Eminence.  And when you learn what the truth actually is, you can fire the whole bunch of fellow-travelers at USCC--which was created by Barry Obozo's pal Cdl. Bernardin, who was under the influence of Saul Alinsky's disciples in Chicago.   Draw your own conclusions, Eminence.
