BREAKING: Trump Signs Immigration EO Allowing Illegal Immigrant Families To Remain Together

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that allows the children of illegal immigrants to remain with their parents while the government sorts out their status.

By signing this executive order - which Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama could have done, but didn't - President Trump reversed the policy of separating the children of illegal immigrants from their parents for up to 20 days. The policy was adopted by the American government in 1997 after the case Reno vs Flores resulted in the "Flores Settlement." That was on Bill Clinton's watch. It has remained the policy of the US for the last 20 years, and was never a problem for the Left until Donald Trump became President.

The Flores Settlement stipulates that children can not be kept separate from their parents for more than 20 days, during which time an investigation is conducted to make sure that the adults really are the parent of the children in question.

Why? That's a good question.

Because child trafficking is real. Criminal illegal aliens kidnap, or have been sold, children in order to be allowed to claim asylum as a "family" instead of as a single person, because families are treated much more leniently when the government is considering a request for asylum.

Tragically, many of the children used as cover by illegal immigrants have been abused and raped at some point along their journey to the United States. Worse, once they had been processed, the Obama administration placed unaccompanied children with human traffickers and pedophiles.

SNOPES: Did the Obama Administration Place Immigrant Children With Human Traffickers?

The ICE facilities in which the children are kept are very different under Trump than they were under Obama, under whose administration the pictures of kids in cages that have recently caused an uproar were taken. If an alien parent was incarcerated, the children were only kept for as long as it takes to find blood relations with whom they could stay. If none could be found the children lived in dormitories, received 3 meals a day, and an education at taxpayer expense.

The only other option would be to incarcerate the child along with the parent, or deport the child to their home country alone. Neither of those options seem very compassionate. The executive order signed today by President Trump should do away with the most unpleasant aspects of enforcing US immigration law.

Horror In Damascus: Children Kidnapped By al-Qaeda Slaughtered; A Warning To Traitors In Congress

GHOUTA SYRIA - The so-called mainstream media in the United States continues to carry the water of the Obama administration, suppressing truths reported from the front lines of the Syrian civil war - and the streets of Washington D.C. - that are splashed across the front pages of newspapers all over the rest of the civilized world, attempting to keep the people of the United States ignorant to what is really going on in Syria.

The Executive and Legislative branches of the United States government are also engaged in a pattern of deceit, lying to their constituents and enabled by softball questions from the media. They have been ignoring UN reports that confirm Syrian "rebels" were guilty of using chemical weapons in Syria, they have been ignoring and possibly actively suppressing intelligence developed by the U.S. military that states the same thing.

"Moderate Syrian Rebel" Eats The Flesh Of A Dead Enemy

Despite all of the lies and obfuscations from those entrusted with our safety, the American people are waking up to the truth; that President Barack Hussein Obama, aided and abetted by treasonous members of Congress, have been providing "aid and comfort" to the enemies of the United States; the very definition of treason.

In this episode of The Truth Is Viral. Host Bobby Powell lays out information gathered from sources all over the world proving that U.S. intelligence agencies provided chemical weapons to the al-Nusra front through the Gulf nation of Qatar, and that these terrorists kidnapped hundreds of women and children in the village of Latakia 200 miles away from the Damascus suburb of Ghouta where those chemical weapons were used to murder the hostages.

Unsatisfied with the covert assistance that he has been providing to terrorists in Syria, Barack Obama has arrogantly "waived" the law that makes it illegal to arm terrorists (which is also in direct violation of the United Nations Small Arms Treaty that he just signed.)

Shia Girl Forced To Watch As Her Parents Are Dismembered

The Obama Administration has threatened V.A. disability payments, funding for the National Institutes of Health, it has closed down veterans memorials and national parks in an effort to make the government shutdown as painful as possible for the American people. At the same time, Barack Obama is sending millions of dollars to al-Qaeda terrorists that have beheaded Catholic priests, literally raping and pillaging their way across Syria, and "cleansing" the entire Christian town of Maaloula where they still speak Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus Christ. Once these murderous Jihadists took over Maaloula, they forced those left alive to convert to Islam or suffer horrendous deaths (GRAPHIC LINK NSFW.) They even sawed the limbs off of a little Christian girl.

These facts are not going unnoticed by an American public that has become increasingly aware. Despite the best efforts of the lamestream media to suppress knowledge of the event, most people with a computer are aware that 1.3 million bikers recently thundered through the nation's capitol. More importantly, Congress is aware. They must have heard the bikes. Because of the Park Service refusal to grant a permit for the demonstration, it took nearly 6 hours for all of the bikes to complete their tour of the Capitol. Next week, America's truckers are going to make their stand. It will be interesting to see how the mainstream media will hide the fact that the nation's highways have been shut down for several days.

Before they returned to the halls of Congress, many Representatives and Senators held Town Hall meetings with their constituents. At one such meeting in Arizona, Senator John McCain came face-to-face with, and was savaged by, several angry constituents, one of whom said that if he had the power he would charge McCain and any other member of Congress who stood with Barack Obama on his Syrian policy with treason.

Congress needs to understand that the People have awakened. We are watching them, closely; and we expect them to uphold the values and represent the interests of the American People, not support the very people that have declared themselves the enemies of the United States. Our elected representatives need to know that if they continue to align themselves with Barack Obama, if they continue to allow him to arm terrorists, then THEY will be held accountable.

Coping With the Death of a Child

Originally Published: 6/14/93

A hundred years ago, death and dying were events shared by the family of the deceased or terminally ill. If a person didn't die at home, he or she was likely indigent, mentally ill and confined to an asylum, or imprisoned. Today, the dying are likely to be sequestered from their family in intensive care units that only allow one adult to visit with the patient for a very short time - "being strong" and withholding a public display of emotion at funerals is encouraged, bottling up feelings that may burst forth on an anniversary or birthday years later.

As a result, dying is much more emotionally traumatic than it needs to be, for both the patient and his or her family. This is especially true for the parents and siblings of a child who is terminally ill or has recently passed. In the event of a terminal illness where a child is cared for in the home, a normal home life must be maintained, to the greatest extent possible, for the benefit of both the ill child and the family.

“The worst thing we can do to the terminally ill child and the rest of the family is to make a morgue out of the house while the child is still living. Where there is laughter and joy, shared love, and little pleasures, the day-to-day difficulties are much easier to bear.” 

In her book "On Death and Dying," Elizabeth Kubler-Ross suggests making the child's siblings a part of the dying process to help them understand and accept the impending death of a brother or sister. "They may help to make yarn handicrafts...run a tape recorder with favorite music, or they can serve one meal a day as long as the little patient can still eat." Also, tip-toeing around the house, speaking in hushed tones, and avoiding the sick room can be detrimental to the well-being of the patient. [1]

Children who are not included in the last few weeks of a sibling's life will often begin to manifest abnormal behavior, especially if the parents try to ease their own conscience by lavishing the sick child with gifts or attention. Citing the case of "Billy", whose brother was dying of cancer, Kubler-Ross noted that the otherwise healthy boy intentionally injured himself, began to wet the bed, and misbehave in school in an attempt to gain attention. Billy was especially cruel to a handicapped fellow student.[2]

Abnormal behavior can also be seen in children who have lost a sibling suddenly and feel "forgotten" while their parents cope with the shock of such an event. It is not uncommon for child to have nightmares, become hyperactive or destructive, or do poorly in school. Having become temporarily anti-social, a child may lose friends, exacerbating his or her isolation at a time when they need someone to talk to the most. “The children need a friend, someone who will listen and talk to them at this time. They need extra patience, tutoring, and support rather than ridiculous expectations like the all-too-frequently-heard remark, “You should be over that by now.”” [3]

Most experts agree that it is a mistake to exclude a child from the mourning process; even though the death of a sibling is a stunning event, it is a family affair that must be shared by all of its members. “A child wants to belong...it can be damaging to his emotional development to exclude him from the sorrows of life.” Families become closer and learn to grow from the “love and caring that surfaces during a crisis.”[4]

To ease the pain inherent in the death of a loved one, it helps to talk with the child about the meaning of death; explaining, according to the family's religious beliefs, what happens to the "person" after the body has ceased to function. Helpful activities could include “preparing a scrapbook that commemorates life with (the deceased); making sure the child has a picture...available; carrying out a project...related to one of the interests of the absent person.”[5]

Saying goodbye to a deceased child, even a stillborn infant, is a process that while it can be extremely emotional and difficult to endure, is a necessary first step in the healing process. Family members should be allowed to rock their stillborn baby; sing a favorite lullaby, bathe the dead body and comb his or her hair, dress the child, and drive the loved one to the mortuary.

Siblings especially need time alone, preferably in the company of a parent, with their dead brother or sister to say their final farewell. This is the time for the parent to encourage and answer the many questions a child will inevitably have. Often, a child will sneak a favorite toy or other meaningful artifact into the coffin for the deceased to take with them on their journey.[6]

Some experts believe that the period of grief following the loss of a loved one can be separated into three distinct stages: shock, preoccupation with the deceased, and resolution.[7]

“Shock” can last anywhere from one day to two weeks and is described as a defense mechanism used by the mind to “protect the bereaved from experiencing the overwhelmingly painful reality of the loss too quickly or too intensely.” Family members feel frustrated, helpless, dazed, and confused while their mind adjusts to the loss.

“Preoccupation with the deceased” can last from three weeks to six months, and may return on special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. This phase can be characterized by “vivid” nightmares, crying spells, and auditory or visual hallucinations in which the bereaved believes that they hear or see the deceased.

“Resolution” occurs when those close to the deceased begin to accept the loss as a part of life. They can once again remember, without an excessive amount of discomfort, the good times shared with the departed. Family members begin to rebuild their lives and move on, resuming favorite activities or discovering new ones.

Others hold that the period of mourning is individualistic and can not be ascribed to a timetable. Some people may cope with the death of a loved one rather quickly, while others may experience profound depression, guilt, and anger for as long as three years. “There are a number of psychological, social, and biological processes that interact and make it difficult to define a normal reaction to bereavement.”[8]

Kubler-Ross breaks down grieving into a 5-step process with distinct, linear stages:

1. Denial and Isolation

2. Anger

3. Bargaining

4. Depression

5. Acceptance

Coping with death is not an easy process for anyone who loved the deceased, no matter how good the advice or how knowledgeable the expert. The passing of a loved one should be marked with rituals and memorials that comfort those who are left to remember the soul who has left this world for planes unknown.

We may scream and cry, beat our chests and rend our clothes, or we may pretend to ourselves and others that it really doesn't hurt that bad. And whether our grief endures or is mercifully brief, in the end, we are left to deal with death in our own way.
