Senator Cornyn's Office Resurfaces Old Immigration Lie from 2014
ornyn’s office is bringing up an old bill- the Orwellian-titled “Humane Act” (SB 2611 in the Senate) from the 2013-2014 Congress- as a possible solution to child separation. In actuality, that bill does nothing to prevent children from separation. Rather, it pressures them into a 48-hour window in which CBP- the same institution that shot Claudia Gomez Gonzalez- would question children to determine if they need asylum before deporting them at a faster rate than ever before. Many of these guards do not speak any language other than English, and their role is not judiciary; they are neither fit nor humane enough in judgment to make asylum decisions, especially in two days time. An in-depth Vox report from the year the bill was introduced demonstrated that the process guards used to make sure children did not fall into the hands of traffickers was insufficient to the point of immoral negligence.
