this group of people that is affected by this proposal, these are people coming from central america,re among the world's most dangerous nations. they are literally fleeing for their lives. given that, the reason the obama administration struggled with this and now we see that the trump administration as well, with that type of reality back home, people will literally risk anything to get back here and this is a harsh reality for whoever is running dhs. so far, no empirical evidence that this strategy works or effective in getting people not to undertake this journey but what we do know is potentially increase the cost for detention, lead to increases in terms of having the number of beds available for detainees leading to different increases or surrounding legal challenges or everyone on the conservative side who may be favoring a small government, this is potentially creating a whole new bureaucracy where now we're having to process women and children at a whole new level and a potentially much longer length of time and aside from that, this is a very difficult situation to deal wit

to imagine -- it is like saying, we have a problem in this country with gangs who originate in central america, and we will ban travel from canada, chile and argentina to deal with it. it makes no sense. add to that that the vector of the people in radicalized is the internet. the internet does not respond to travel bans or visa regimes or any of this. this is a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. it is like for filling a campaign promise, but i would be looking at this subject for a long time. the real problem, whether in france, with a have french citizens radicalizing french citizens, there may be second or third generation. the problem in this group is we have a group of citizens who are radicalized. the issue is certainly not refugees. and the issue of the six , there aren the list two problems, the constitutional problem, and hawaii judge said it was a problem and there is evidentiary problem, which this is not really solving the problem we went to solve. it is managing to alienate all sorts of people we want to have on our side. get information about someone who is radicali

it is just it isjust one it is just one of those awful stories that periodically appear from central americat least 19 people have died, probably nine of them children, according to one volunteer firefighter on the scene. images of desperate family members turning up to find out information about their loved ones, and some confusion about how it actually started. there have been suggestions in the guatemalan media that there was some form of riot in the children's home last night, it was a mixture of a children's home for children who had been rescued from human trafficking but also it has been suggested in the local media that it has also been doubling up as a detention centre forjuveniles. i think there are some difficulties suggestions that abuse might have taken place. suggestions that abuse might have ta ken place. whatever the suggestions that abuse might have taken place. whatever the cause, it seems the blaze started in one of the bedrooms and quickly ripped through the entire building, leaving this devastating situation that is still unfolding. turkey and germany are not happy with
