LULAC - Darryl Morin - Trump's Policy Family Separation Meaningless Exec. Order.pdf

TALKING POINTS:

Trump's Zero-Tolerance Policy, Separation of Families & Meaningless Executive Order TOP 10 THINGS TO KNOW: 1. Donald Trump's zero-tolerance policy is contrary to American values and has only served to tear apart families and criminalize those seeking opportunity or fleeing violence and seeking asylum. 2. To date over 2,200 children, some as young as a few months old have been separated from their families 3. According to the American Medical Association this policy is causing irreparable trauma to infants and young children. 4. Despite claims by DHS Secretary Nielsen regarding the cleanliness of and the services offered at these detention facilities, unscheduled visits are not

allowed, media are frequently denied access as are members of the United States Congress. 5. The zero-tolerance policy mandates immigration violations which previously were treated as civil violations, be prioritized and adjudicated in criminal court, overwhelming the system and removing focus from the prosecution of serious criminals. 6. The Executive Order does not rescind the zero-tolerance policy but states that families should be held in detention together. 7. The Executive Order also acknowledges the limits of the order as the Flores Settlement Agreement limits child detention to no more than 20 days and as such, instructs the U.S. Attorney General to attempt to modify m odify the settlement which most legal experts agree is very unlikely. 8. The Executive Order does nothing to unify children already in detention. 9. Any further attempts at an enforcement only approach will fail as it does not provide for our nation’s economy or humanity. We need passage of a Clean Dream Act followed by a comprehensive solution that allows for immigration flows that support our economic needs and provides a pathway to citizenship for our DREAMERs and other immigrants who pose no threat to our nation, work hard and contribute to our economy. 10. We must always remember we are a nation of immigrants and it is our immigrant work ethic, diversity and commitment to defending human hum an dignity which have been and continue to be our greatest sources of strength.
