They should be deported ASAP. BTW government says over the course of a year 69,000 were detained in total, so it is doubtful that 100,000 are detained now. Hopefully parents and smugglers stop engaging in illegal behavior.

Didn't that number start as just 1,700? Even 69,000 makes my blood boil.

So what is your answer to this. Set them loose into the interior of the US? Give them all new EBT cards, housing, a 60” flat screen, cable, internet, a car, a dishwasher and an obama phone? This is just more propaganda from the one world-no borders crowd. Never let a manufactured crisis go unused.

So the board's most dishonorable poster creates a thread based on #fakenews and doesn't have the guts to come back to it after the #fakenews gets exposed?

Not surprised.

If he would have honored his ban-bet, he would have been spared this embarrassing disgrace.

Another failed lefty thread. Y'all are having a bad day.

Well we have to expect things like that to happen in a country populated by millions of people that vote Democrat.

If you're really sincere about fixing it, vote Republican.

Then you don't read my posts. I've already stated before that it was wrong to do then, wrong to do now. But it's been a while since this topic came up so I'll give you a pass.

Link? It's not like your word is worth anything around here since you are a proven liar.

JD, you can pretty much go ahead and assume any anti-Trump news that comes out is fake these days. Take everything you read about Trump with a GIGANTIC grain of salt prior to posting it.

JDTulane: "I got dirt on Trump!"

JDTulane:

Where is JD. Looks like he won't come back like a real man and take his loss.

Outlets Scramble To Retract After Realizing UN Report Cites Record Child Detention Under Obama Instead Of Trump

Quote:Multiple outlets deleted entire stories Tuesday after falsely reporting the number of children in migrant-related U.S. custody.

Outlets including Reuters, Agence France-Presse (AFP), NPR and Aljazeera jumped on a report from the United Nations, writing Monday that the country has the world’s highest rate of detained children. The outlets reported that there are currently more than 100,000 children in immigration-related custody, which violates international law.

A day later, Reuters and AFP deleted their stories after the U.N. clarified the numbers were from 2015, when former President Barack Obama was in office. AFP did not immediately respond to a request for comment on why it no longer felt the numbers were newsworthy after being informed they were from 2015.

“Reuters decided to withdraw its story after the United Nations issued a statement on November 19 saying the number of children in detention was not current but was for the year 2015,” a Reuters spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The page where the article was featured has a retraction on Reuters. The outlet declined to comment on why the story was no longer deemed newsworthy.

A Nov. 18 story headlined ‘U.S. has world’s highest rate of children in detention -U.N. study’ is withdrawn. The United Nations issued a statement on Nov. 19 saying the number was not current but was for the year 2015. No replacement story will be issued,” it reads.

AFP also retracted its entire story, tweeting Tuesday that the author of the report clarified the numbers.

NPR retracted its entire story at 6:53 p.m. Eastern time, issuing a notice that it would be posting another story with “more complete information.”

“We have temporarily withdrawn this story because the study’s author has acknowledged a significant error in the data. We will post a revised article with more complete information as soon as possible,” NPR’s page reads.

Aljazeera updated its article, which is now headlined “UN expert corrects claims on children in US migration.” The article notes that the data is from the Obama administration, but a large portion of it is still dedicated to scrutinizing illegal immigration under Trump.

“Following the publication of this article, the outside expert quoted corrected a figure he cited claiming that more than 100,000 children were currently being held in migrant detention in the US,” Aljazeera’s correction reads. “On Tuesday, he told news agencies the figure was from 2015, the latest his team could find. This article has been updated under a new headline to reflect his corrected statement.”

NPR and Aljazeera did not immediately responded to a request for comment from the DCNF.

“The expert also says the Trump administration’s family separation policy is ‘absolutely prohibited’ by the Convention on the Rights of the Child,” the article reads, even though the numbers were from the Obama administration.

The report’s author is Manfred Nowak, a human rights lawyer, who appears to have bungled the report as well.

“Nowak said his team estimates that the U.S. is still holding more than 100,000 children in migration-related detention,” the NPR article reads.

The Associated Press also deleted its article, but wrote a substitute story where it highlighted the figure that was incorrectly cited by Nowak.

“But on Tuesday, he [Nowak] told The AP that figure was drawn from a U.N. refugee agency report citing data from 2015, the latest figure his team could find,” the new AP article reads. “That was before U.S. President Donald Trump, whose policies on migration have drawn criticism, was elected.”

I agree that you said this....

but I still disagree that all 100,000 are 'wrong'.

For children here with their families, awaiting 'review' of their applications etc... why is it wrong to detain them when they are absolutely free to return home and wait on their application? Yes, very serious question (not that you asked, but someone might).

For teenagers here without their families and no ID, why is it similarly wrong? Many US school shooters have been 'children', not to mention many gang members etc.

For actual children here without families and no family coming forward to take them home (an unknown but clearly smaller percentage of the whole) what would be the RIGHT thing?

Hilarious.

https://nypost.com/2019/11/20/when-the-v...reporting/

"So the United States has “the world’s highest rate of children in detention.” Is this worth reporting? Maybe, maybe not. Nevertheless, Agence France-Presse, or AFP, and Reuters did report it, attributing the information to a “United Nations study” on migrant children detained at the US-Mexico border.

Then the two agencies retracted the story. Deleted, withdrew, demolished. If they could have used one of those Men in Black memory-zappers on us, they would have. Sheepishly, the two news organizations explained that, you see, the UN data was from 2015 — part of a border crackdown that had begun years earlier.

We all know who the president was in 2015. It wasn’t evil, child-caging monster President Trump. It was that nice, compassionate, child-caging monster President Barack Obama...."
