Vanmorgen weer eens een bericht, waar ik bij het lezen ervan, subiet uit m’n stoel donderde: in de VS worden meer dan 40.000 immigranten zonder papieren vastgehouden……. Zo’n bericht verwacht je wellicht na een jaar Trump als president, echter niet onder het Obama bewind….. Ook al was en is de slang Obama niet te vertrouwen op wat voor gebied dan ook….. Neem de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede, die hij toegekend kreeg, terwijl deze oorlogsmisdadiger als eerste VS president 8 jaar lang in (illegale) oorlogen was verwikkeld……
Sinds Obama aan het bewind is heeft hij meer dan 2,8 miljoen ‘illegale’ immigranten laten deporteren….. Velen van deze immigranten zijn op de vlucht voor ofwel natuurgeweld, dan wel politiek geweld in eigen land, geweld dat voor het overgrote deel werd veroorzaakt door bemoeienis van de VS…… Zo’n gewelddadige uh ‘geweldige man’ verdient minstens nog een Nobelprijs, ja toch??!!!

Record
Numbers of Undocumented Immigrants Being Detained in U.S.

A record number of
immigrants are being held by the U.S. government in detention
facilities as migrants arrive in high numbers.
About 41,000 are
currently being held in immigration detention facilities, up from a
“typical” number of between 31,000 and 34,000, Jeh Johnson,
secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said in a news
release Thursday. The government is acquiring additional space for
those apprehended at the border so they can be held until they are
returned to their home countries, he said.
“Those who attempt
to enter our country without authorization should know that,
consistent with our laws and our values, we must and we will send you
back,” said the secretary in a news release.
Nearly half of those
in the detention facilities are migrants seeking asylum, said Bob
Libal, executive director of Grassroots Leadership, an advocacy
organization based in Austin, Texas, that opposes private prisons.
Typically, asylum seekers are released pending their court date, but
a growing number are being held instead in a handful of jail-like
facilities, mainly in Texas, Libal said.
The election of Donald
Trump on Tuesday has put immigration into the spotlight as he made
the topic a keystone of his campaign. The Republican has promised to
build a wall and deport the more than 11 million undocumented
immigrants in the U.S. Immigrants and advocacy groups are on edge
about what their future could bring under a Trump administration.
Trump’s victory sent stocks in private prison
companies soaring Wednesday.
Near record numbers of
migrants are flowing into the U.S., many to escape violence in
Central America, and others seeking refuge from natural disasters in
Haiti. In October, border officials captured just over 46,000 people
who were trying to sneak in between official ports of entry, up 16
percent over the previous month, the secretary said.
Apprehensions by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection in the year ended Sept. 30 totaled
almost 409,000, up 23 percent over fiscal 2015.
While immigration
groups are nervous about what a Trump presidency might hold,
President Barack Obama has been particularly tough on immigrants,
formally removing more than any previous president and locking up
growing numbers of immigrants and asylum seekers.
“This administration
has a lot of explaining to do, if it wants its immigration legacy to
be a positive one,” Libal said.
