12:30 pm
in time for summer we've added yet another big dish of potential conflict to our already rising pile of potential conflict dishes smellie singh this week the u.s. state department announced that the syrian government may allegedly be using chemical weapons once again as it attempts to recap recapture and lead the last outpost of rebel and terrorist groups the country has been fighting since march of 2011 u.s. state department spokeswoman morgan ortega's told the media quote we are still gathering information on this incident but we repeat our warning that if the assad regime uses chemical weapons the united states and our allies will respond quickly and appropriately she was then quick to add that assad's regime has culpability in horrific chemical weapons attacks is undeniable. is that though this is undeniable you speak of i say this because just last week a newly leaked engineering report out of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons actually disputes the organization's official conclusions that the
12:31 pm
syrian government was worse was supposedly behind the chlorine attack and do well back in april of 2018 a bitterly you see the story goes that the chlorine canisters were dropped by air via helicopters which would naturally point to the syrian military since they control the skies above syria however the newly leaked documents reveal that the dimensions characteristics and appearance of the cylinders on the surrounding scene of the incident itself that are inconsistent with what would have been expected in the case of either cylinder being delivered from an aircraft the documents go on to claim that in each case the alternative hypothesis the cylinders were manually placed in the location produced the only plausible explanation for observations at the scene. my friends the information war over syria by all sides is a messy one so with old official tales falling apart and new official tales being formed i think it's a good time to start watching us. but if
12:32 pm
you treat it like that it's. like you that i got. to see. this. is the. world i'm on the watching the hawks i am a rover for a time top of the law list so where exactly are bashevis and how they can't even remember when they might be in class and i find that very strange we're still looking at it but we know 1st are the well then you wouldn't still be investigating that's like saying life. what i was looking for but i kept looking it's that weird thing these documents that have come out because it's like the the and to be clear obviously w nobody at that organization has said that these are false that they're
12:33 pm
made out that they've been altered just that they're looking into how they were of the essentially yes that's what confirm them because initially when these documents at the internet a lot of people myself included were like ok and arranged documents hits the internet. you know is there a reality to it and believe it was. actually peter hitchens the journalist and then asked about the legitimacy of the leaked report the o.p.c. w. didn't refute the legitimacy of the documents they were fired they nor the findings in them what they did tell reporters is that the o.p.c. w. technical secretariat is conducting an internal investigation about the on authorised release of the document in question now you know look they might not have used this particular document we don't know when this document was written in court nation or with when they released the official findings on it's going to be really a response to that i mean no one knows enough there's a 1000000 questions right now surrounding this document that needs to be answered
12:34 pm
any good journalist should be saying let's find the answers to these questions because you know if if this means this proper investigation because look this document now calls into question the official justification that was used by us elected officials to drop bombs on syria after the attack right back in april let's not forget it was a really major that. did that and that speaks to the reputation of the o.p.c. they need that you know they need to come forward and say look here's why this was written this is why we didn't use these findings in the final report and there could be good explanations for that but right now we're getting none right but i think the thing that kind of bothers me is this well we this is about one incident and if you can't have a conversation about one disputed incident then. then what's the point what's the point about any of it if you're just going to say whatever it is it is and that means every single time these things have happened and this is this is who
12:35 pm
did it it was the assad regime it was you know this group it was the taliban it was something i mean i think the obvious the obvious reason you have to be really careful about saying that it might not be the assad regime is because of who we were armed you know the u.s. was arming and other countries were arming in that area that suddenly there could be culpability one of the things i said so the head of russian military reconciliation center in syria. they had claims that they captured militants that admitted to having plans and making the plans of being part of the plans to stage chemical weapons attacks to make it look like you know which is you know just war that's that's what i mean there are those of all my gosh it's a conspiracy there that you would even think that these things but it literally happens in every war every war somebody is making something up to point out something somebody actually did but maybe we didn't see them do it so there is always this like maybe they went too far to try to make sure it was him. the
12:36 pm
russian military can so the head of the russian military is reconciliation southern syria also claimed that he admitted that these militants admitted to creating a special chemical wing. to produce a stockpile toxic agents which makes sense again if that's where they got them because as far as we know everything was was cleaned up everything was done but the state department of course contest this telling the media that the russian allegations are part of a continuing dissin from a shit campaign by the assad regime and russia to create the false narrative that others are to blame for chemical weapons attacks and that assad regime itself is conducting you know with all the murders covering over syria from every different side it's a possible to tell what is the truth of support when you see these documents that people are actually pretty. good questions writers. much buzz that comes out of all different corners of that war exactly don't forget to let us know what you think of the prospects for coverage at facebook and twitter and you tube and see our poll shows that are to dot com coming up can cutting edge d.n.a.

and very well might continue watching on since last. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented for inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against a troll to venezuela associate. in the school have a supplement to. get out of that. data to see on the path to the math of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america an

12:44 pm
the issues between the united states federal government and the thousands of families from central american countries seeking asylum on the u.s. southern border are legion watchers according to the department of homeland security one of these difficulties along the border is telling the difference between a legitimate family whatever that means seeking asylum and human traffickers pretending to be those families this is led to the d.h.s.s. implementing and new and controversial pilot program using rapid d.n.a.
12:45 pm
testing technology according to the washington post the standard methods for confirming kinship like interviewing applicants or obtaining official documents such as birth certificates are time consuming and imperfect rapid d.n.a. testing instead quote provides an objective expedient and failsafe method for verifying family claims however many immigrant rights and privacy advocates are concerned about the danger of the u.s. government using d.n.a. to help solve this particular border issue and the future ramifications it could have joining us now from new york to discuss is immigration attorney alan or jr thank you so much for joining us alan thank you for having me you know many are raising objections to using this this kind of quick method of d.n.a. testing at the border i'm curious what what are the main objections and as an immigration attorney attorney do these do these objections hold water to you. absolutely the very 1st ejects thing is that family cannot be determined just by
12:46 pm
d.n.a. in many cases people have been adopted family units have been separated you might be with your own or your own goal because your parents have been murdered in these war torn areas so the conversation surrounding d.n.a. is the determiner of someone is the rightful heir of a child that's at the border with the disney. really determined is most importantly a d.n.a. test does not solve the solution of these people coming to the border what it does is just sort of people who are at the border and cause a bigger dilemma right and what our government has shown is that they can't even match 17000 kids they separated from families any more that work every member so i really wouldn't trust them to really determine if these people are families or not families that's not really addressing the issue in the testimony to congress we have known that people showing up the border has switched from individual males to women and their children so in most cases just like the other ports of entry we should determine that the immigrants we should take based on their analysis based on their just saying so that their family members because we're not testing in any
12:47 pm
other areas which is a civil rights violation number one and number 2 sort of testing these individuals and keeping this in information from children and from people who are not nationals of this country is an international delegation so it's very problematic. now this level of technology for d.n.a. testing is it's new to us immigration authorities you know genetic testing though is not. and that leads me to the question that has come up over the last few years about the history of genetic testing immigrants and how this idea of your blood will tell us whether or not you are to be here or not can you tell me a little bit about that has 3 and the problems it's caused in previous situations tons of promises that the tests were never actually correct right one thing is the expense of doing it that's not really the best use of our time and personal information of doing it so therefore that's why there are international laws against taking a person's d.n.a. because that's the very basis of that person's being and sort of sharing that as well as it's been used for other purposes and that's really the main concern from
12:48 pm
the civil rights that we don't know what they're using this testing for they claim that they're going to destroy it as soon as they determine who these family members are but that's problematic and in the united states history not with the immigrants that came here voluntarily but with african-americans the spearmint sticks out very rapidly of saying you were saying you were testing for one thing but. these tests cost something else and add the african-american community and that's the major problem here we're not sure exactly what they're doing they're doing it with the contractor and we've seen time and time again that contractors fail us in these situations even with keeping that individuals and the children safe because they're being molested and raped so it's not the appropriate action for the federal government to take they should take the money that they're using for these d.n.a. testing and give it back to these communities to stop individuals from coming here to stop the push factor for these individuals coming here and then address it from that angle and then if someone's coming with a young child they should not violate that child's right or that parent's right by saying you know what let me d.n.a. test you and specifically when you're only doing it at the southern border not at the northern border or at the airplane you know it's interesting you know the main
12:49 pm
argument for the is the look we need to stop human trafficking you know we get you know if a family comes in a group of people come in and they all claim their family they could be lying they could they could actually be human traffickers and not going to what do you say to that argument you know what do what about that argument do you disagree with. everything so if it's true about that at the at the southern border that it should be true about that of the northern border and at airports and at sea ports right we're not doing that anywhere else but at the southern border but child trafficking happens everywhere it's not just at the southern border so we're only concerned about one group of people is the real issue traffic smuggling i mean chelsea muddling or is it really something else and to me it has always been really something else when you treat one group of people or one couple of ports of entry different than you treating the other ports and that's problematic just to give people a sense of idea of what happens let's say you know someone gets tested and there are a lot of these kids are coming from places like you mentioned earlier their foster
12:50 pm
kids there you know that might not be their parents bring in could be goal they could be adoptions i mean there's a 1000000 different things but they get their grandparents exactly be their grandparents what what what happens the just so people have an idea what happens then of suddenly they decide ok you're not your d.n.a. doesn't match up. you know we're just going to leave you that doesn't like what is the how does this. then they separate those individuals and then the person the adult is as a smuggler that's just deemed in the wrong facts and right we don't do that even in our country right somebody could adopt a child and it's it's unheard of in any family court that this would be the sort of method that is used in determining a relationship or determining what a family means in a society if you want to say that this is science that's great but science isn't determining what a family should it is so therefore it is irrational and very much not addressing the problem at the southern border if they are concerned about smuggling children and the welfare of children they will address the issues in the home country not at
12:51 pm
the port of entry and then after kids have been traumatized even if they are smuggled here then separating them again from some person that they're linked to becomes very problematic because that would be sorted in a very just system if there was a system at the border they were able to adjudicate these cases very rapidly and very simple things like you might not have your birth certificate you might not have your passport that's very clear in areas that have been war torn or drugs or you have to flee in the middle of night you might not have those documents but the assessment is all of these people are criminals and that's the problem that the assessment of people showing up at the southern border who are illegally applying for asylum are criminals are belling the law and that is wrong. yeah i think it's really upsetting i think to a lot of people is the it's not the technology of the d.n.a. testing technology can be wonderful it's you know we've seen of even the last month probably be 2 or 3 at least 2 possibly 3 or 4 you know 20 and 30 year old murder case is solved by using dan i have seen you know families brought back together through d.n.a.
12:52 pm
tests but like you said i mean there are those there are those of us who if we were d.n.a. tested with who are say our parents are i mean every story from 23 and me tell you might be surprised with your real family your biological family and i think it's upsetting to a lot of people to this idea that we don't have money to test. rape kits that are going on tested in this country we don't know when to actually use it for granted alls that you're saying you're trying to keep out but we're in a tad traumatise a bunch of heads now alan you've been in the immigration game for a long time are there but what are better methods for proving a familial relation and other than d.n.a. and how do we rethink that familial idea moving about 2 minutes so here's the problem everybody thinks you need something new and different because they're making a situation that doesn't exist people are not rushing the border people are coming to the border and turning themselves over for the last 10 years since i've been practicing immigration for 25 years this is never been an issue so we have made an
12:53 pm
issue of saying there's the smuggler there's the super criminal so it's the criminalization of asylum at the southern border that is the problem so it really isn't that we need to do anything different we just need to continue to do things that we have done in the past such as interviewing the child and looking for the ship and then if you sort of work the system in a racist systems and you sort of check it but most importantly what we should not do is say that this is just an issue at these ports if we really care about children everywhere we should do it across all the courts i couldn't agree more because if you're serving if this is really about child trafficking at the end of the day then you would be doing this with all the ports you would be would be saying you know we're going to implement d.n.a. testing on the northern border on the east and west of all the major airport international airports for immigrants coming in you would see this being put into place but when you don't see it and you see this words it's just those folks down so it's just those folks coming up from central and south of mexico and the americas there because you know as someone coming from sweden they're not we're not worried if you're from sweden that's the mexico isn't exactly you know central
12:54 pm
america so and i and i do say like i one thing that the bothers me about using this d.n.a. stuff it really goes back to there's a bad history in this country you know with native americans and indigenous people this idea of one blood and with african-americans this idea of one drop then you're this or you have to. the a certain percentage it's very problematic to favor leave it is very problematic and plus at the end of the day i'm sorry but i can't for all of the missteps that homeland security and i use and all that we've seen commit over the last you know 1015 years i do not trust as you mentioned earlier with this d.n.a. database because these agencies share information when they're not supposed to be for every one of these people now getting tested that d.n.a. could end up being used against them something that they never even. wanted to give their d.n.a. to to begin with it's absolutely ridiculous you know i got to say thank you so much for coming on today it's it's always wonderful to hear your perspective on these
12:55 pm
