I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!

Franklin and Byron were among the thousands of children separated from their parents under President Donald Trump's immigration policies . As the court-ordered deadline for reunifying those families passed Thursday, interviews and court filings have revealed a wide range of allegations of mistreatment by migrant adolescents and teens, including inedible food, brutally cold temperatures with no blankets for all the children, not being informed of their rights, bullying, guards who kick their feet to wake them up and verbal abuse. They also show the emotional toll of family separations.

Franklin and his brother were eventually sent to live with a foster family in New York, but were not reunited with their mother until July 13.

"My heart was beating so fast when they told me my mom was going to be with us again," he said. "When they told my brother, he started to cry."

His family is now living in Kingston, New York, as they fight their asylum claim.

“We can be a family again. We’re together again and we’re very happy," he said.

“THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED MAKES ME FEEL ... LIKE I AM TRASH.”

New court filings this month from the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law gave firsthand accounts by more than 200 migrant children and their parents from detention facilities run by Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as shelters run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

The filings, which list the migrants’ first name and last initial, are part of the ongoing battle between advocates and the government over the treatment of migrant children, based on a set of protections known as the Flores settlement and subsequent court decisions.

“Now he been exposed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica,” Cockburn wrote about Riggleman. “This is not what we need on Capitol Hill.”

Riggleman co-authored at least one book about the furry deciduous cryptid with Don Barone, titled “Bigfoot Exterminators Inc. The Partially Cautionary, Mostly True Tale of Monster Hunt 2006.”
