O'Malley Camp Has a 'Novel Idea' for DHS

[bigtree]

Lis Smith ?@Lis_Smith (Deputy Campaign Manager, Communicator for @MartinOMalley)
Novel idea for @dhsgov: before you send families back to certain death in Central America, ask people to host them. We can do this together.


Gabriela Domenzain ?@GabiDomenzain (Senior Advisor for @MartinOMalley)
#Maryland houses more refugees than the women and kids detained on the border today. The US will step up, @DHSgov, you just need to ask.


Lis Smith @Lis_Smith
@MartinOMalley: holiday deportation raids “completely at odds w/our character as a nation.”

'Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley on Thursday blasted a report that said the Department of Homeland Security is planning raids that would target for deportation families of undocumented immigrants from Central American countries.' >>>

10. Sec. Clinton's real concerned

U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has "real concerns" about reports that the U.S. government is intensifying the deportation of Central American migrants who are in the country illegally, a spokeswoman said on Thursday.

"Hillary Clinton has real concerns about these reports, especially as families are coming together during this holiday season," Xochitl Hinojosa, a spokeswoman for the leading Democratic candidate, said in an email. "She believes it is critical that everyone has a full and fair hearing, and that our country provides refuge to those that need it. And we should be guided by a spirit of humanity and generosity as we approach these issues."

from July 11, 2014:

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley broke publicly with President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Friday, calling for a more humane policy toward the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors who have illegally crossed into the United States.

“It is contrary to everything we stand for to try to summarily send children back to death,” the Democratic lawmaker told reporters. O’Malley also criticized the “kennels” in which those who have been detained are being kept and calling for the children to be placed in “the least restrictive” locations, including foster homes or with family members in the U.S.

“Through all of the great world religions we are told that hospitality to strangers is an essential human dignity,” O’Malley said. “It is a belief that unites all of us. And I have watched the pictures of young kids who have traveled for thousands of miles. I can only imagine, as a father of four, the heartbreak that those parents must have felt in sending their children across a desert where they can be muled and trafficked or used or killed or tortured. But with the hope, the hope, that they would reach the United States and that their children would be protected from what they were facing at home, which was the likelihood of being recruited into gangs and dying a violent death.”

Hillary Clinton told CNN last month that most of those detained should be sent back. “They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are,” she said. President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the parents of the migrants need to know that “it is unlikely that their children will be able to stay.”
