Video shows kids being brought to NYC immigration foster agency

Source: NY1

Sources tell NY1 that children from the southern border are being brought to the city after they have been separated from their families.

And overnight, the station shot exclusive video of some unusual activity at a foster agency in East Harlem.

Sources tipped off NY1's Josh Robin to go to the Cayuga Centers facility in East Harlem.

He was told that kids separated from their parents along the southern U.S. border would be brought there.

The Deplorable Cultists would cheer and think 'what a great business plan and deterrent! Boy, Our Trumpie sure is smart and resourceful!"

Though I'd willing to bet Trump would pull a Goering, and off himself rather than face justice.

The sooner he dies - and I wish it would be a massive stroke today - the better the world will be.

Give him a state funeral in Moscow Vladimir...

10. I hear you - but still feel the nation would be better served with Cheeto (and the rest) in jail.

Death tends to absolve wrongdoing in the public's mind unfortunately.

Having him live out his days in Ft. Leavenworth, on the other hand, would serve as a living reminder of his regime's corruption and abuses.

Plus, he can be called as needed to testify in ongoing trials against his many accomplices in all this.

And if he cooperates, we can let him share the cell with his little concubine.

Have the guts to do that. He is a cowardly bully,who backs down when confronted.

He is desperately trying to find a way out of the fire storm he created.

That the only way they will ever leave WITHOUT their children is if they've signed off on very clear, written in their language, documentation ... with the assistance of an attorney ... that states that they wish their child to stay in the USA even if they are forced to leave.

I say this because I imagine that there would at least be SOME parents, esp. those of older kids, say, 15 and up ... who feel the situation back in their home country to be so treacherous that they'd rather the child stay in the US, even if it's without them. Particularly if they have close relatives who are living in the US legally at the time who are willing to care for the kid.

Under NO OTHER circumstance, however, should an immigrant parent be deported w/o their child(ren). That doesn't just include people coming in right now, it should include ANYONE being deported for any reason, at any time.

....we only wanted to be good Germans for our Fuhrer. We didn't know about the camps.
We were only following orders. We were only obeying the Law.
