there is also a caveat in there saying that they put in place measures aimed at improving the protection of children now that's what it said last year and i put this point to the spokesman for the secretary general stefan if they were putting measures in place last year to protect children how did they manage to kill three hundred seventy more children in twenty seventeen what is important for us is for people to people their first state actors non-state actors to engage with the office of ms garba to put in place whatever mitigation measures they can the point of the report is to improve. is to improve the situation and report on it. as honestly as as we can so if you engage with the office you can continue killing children you're making an unfair and unfair assumption the point is that people need to we need to see people engage engage constructively and show us repeatedly over the repeating period that they have of making an effort to avoid the death of children. well this report which is iran has obtained it is now being distributed to the fifteen members of the un security council it is not pub

my first and foremost is the protection of children. hatch says it is wrong. the white house can fix it in they want to. i don't think there's any question about that and john mccain tweeting this, the current policy is an front of the american people and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. the administration has the hower to rescind this policy. it should do so now. >> junior members also posted to facebook. this is wrong, americans do not take children hostage period. the president should end this family separation policy and last night ted cruz released legislation for faster deportations and asylum processing but also keep families together in that process. >> all of us seeing these images of children being pulled away from moms and dads, we're horrified. this has to stop. kids need their moms and dads and we can keep the families together while these cases are end ping. >> but john cornyn expressed sympathy but put the blame on the minority party. >> it's clear this is a very sympathetic tugs at your heart strings sort of

there is no interest in the protection of the children. think about this. children, is there any knowledge about what the adults of who is a predator and who is not? who has mental problems? the children would be exposed to adults that would be uncontrolled. i am not quite sure i fully understand the question. when somebody asks for asylum, don't -- the normal process is there would be a case. whatever it is they say would have to be investigated and a decision made. they would be great in which doesn't happen that often, or denied asylum in which case they would be returned to their country. anybody with a criminal record is pre-much off-limits -- pretty much off-limits. when parents came with their children and let go until a court date was set, many had to wear an ankle when parents ch their children and let go until a court date was set, many had to wear an ankle bracelet. what do you know about the statistics of them returning to court? guest: when parents came with their children and let go until a court date was set, many had to wear an ankle bracele

now the focus is on children and hopefully it means that people, the legislators who are supposed to protect us, have a particular duty ofldren, they will start to do something about it and that involves fines and prison sentences for the people that run these companies that will not take responsibility in this country seriously. do we have the laws to cover that? a lot of these tech guppies have said we are not publishers, how much stems from that, we are platforms? that decision was made in the us and does not apply here. the problem is that we can't legislate, basically, for the first five or six years of the tech bubble, the government saw these people as demigods, they could do no wrong. they are making is a digital and connected nation. that is why these companies behave in a reckless way that they do. to put it in context, it says a quarter of uk schoolchildren spend more than six hours a day online. almost a quarter of children. that is the extreme numbers. on average, three or four hours a day. and it is difficult to prise them off. i'm always saying it's not good for you having a light in yourface it's not good

progresses, we see the rise of common schooling in the united states and a growing consumption -- conception amongst the middle class the children ought to be in school and have a protected period of innocence. and at the same time, the industrialization pulling children away from the farm and into the factory, into mills and mines. all throughout the northeast in particular and the south as well. susan :they sent children into the mines? julia: yes. susan: it is astonishing. julia: they could get through the tunnels more easily. they would build mills particularly suited for the children's frame. susan: do we have any sense of the mortality rates among these children? julia: it is a difficult to distinguish between what was produced by child labor and poverty. they are quite closely associated. generally people thought that children working prematurely would stunt their development. that was the main concern. they thought it would rob them of their childhood, they would have economic independence too early. but, particularly working really long hours in those conditions would mean they would not grow to their formal -- to their full size or be involved in industrial acc

of negotiation, our government reached an agreement with the court on the detainment and protection of children, it took us all those years to come up with the standards. what i hear from the republican side is we just get away with the standards, no one could accuse us of violating them. that is not an answer to what we are seeing, this outrage at the border. mr. chairman, yesterday we heard from homeland security secretary christian nielsen, falsely claiming "we do not have a policy of separating families at the border." over 2000 infants and children put a lie to the statement. this outrageous conduct can be ended instantly with a phone call from this president. we do not need to pass legislation. the president needs to revoke the policy he created six weeks ago, i hope he does it. >> before i introduce you, i just thought of something. the president likes to tweet. wouldn't it be nice to have a bipartisan tweet, something that says, i just found out that president obama had a pretty good idea on regulations on eb-5 program and i agree with it and we going through with those regulations. wou

children to be separated from their parents unduly. do you know there are three conditions by which minors and adults are separated in these circumstances? two of the three are to protect the children, and somehow all of you are glossing past that, so let's review the facts. the first is, if you cannot establish a familiar or custodial relationship between the adult and the minor, we have a 315% increase in the last few months alone in fraudulent cases, children being smuggled, presenting as a family. you have to care about these children also. the second reason you would separate a minor from an adult is if you feel like that child could be harmed. you see, sometimes these children clearly don't want to be with the adult man they're presenting with, and you need to find out why that is. and the third reason is that if the adult has broken the law in entering the united states and now will be prosecuted, you can get to a port of entry and present for a credible fear asylum case. the secretary of homeland security is reminding everyone to do that. go to one of the ports of entry and support the credible fear case. i only wish you would play the audiotape, the videotape,

children accountable for the actions of their parents. it's been a basic principle we've held for a long time. we believe in the protection of children in the unity of families. that's what we've been about. now we have some debate about that because some in this body believe a child is not a child until you can see them, and some believe a child is a child even when they're in the womb. but we do have unity about those individuals that when we can see them and know them as a child that we keep them as a family. though you could strongly put me on the side of saying i think a child is a child even when they're in the womb. it's right for us to be able to focus on families. but quite frankly, it's also right of us to be able to focus on immigration and law and to believe that we're a nation of laws, and we have a great dilemma at this point happening around our border. when -- let me set some context for this that i think is important, that i want to make sure that people understand. we are a very open nation for immigration. we have been before, and we are now. last friday i had the wonderful opportunity to be able to spe

and yet, we are trying to elevate someone to one of the more significant positions in our land to protect children who has a disregard and an apathy towards the compelling and continuing problems in our schools. when i think about the role of f the federal government in protecting children, i think about a picture that as soon as i walk out of my office, the picture's there. it's that picture from norman rockwell of ruby bridges trying to walk to school at the age of 6 to become the first black child to attend a white elementary school in the south. the photo of her of this famous painting is just -- it's jarring when you see it. it's a reminder to me every day when i leave my office about the roles and responsibilities we have in this body. the hate that is being spewed on her, ruby bridges, was plainly evident. and i'm telling you, if you visit schools right now and talk to some of our children who are being bullied, intimidated, they can speak to that kind of hate as well. you can still feel the pain and hatred echoing from our past, and you can see it, you can see it echoing in our present. bu

[crying] amy: the voices of immigrant children crying for their parents ends of u.s. customs and border protection facility. this comes as president trump is continuing to defend his administration's policy of forcibly separating the children from their parents at the border in violation of international human rights law. pres. trump: the united states will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility. it won't be. amy: we will speak to congressman or pramila jayapal and sheila jackson lee. then to nicaragua. looks in nicaragua, antigovernment prorotests over e past two months have led to the killining of at least 178 peopl, almost entirely at the hands of the police forces and by arms program government groups. amy: as a major city in nicaragua declares independence from daniel ortega government, we will speech atop nicaraguan diplomat about the escalating crisis. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. presidenent trump p is continuio defend his administration's policy of forcibly separating immi

of the most vulnerable children in the world. children on the move in search of safety and protection. this legislation would put the united states back on track of what is right and what is good by allowing family members to remain together while the immigration courts decide whether they need protection from persecution and violence or can safely return home. what we have witnessed from the trump administration is a cynical manipulation of laws and policies that have been constructed to protect unaccompanied children, children who truly arrive alone, most childrenly the traffic -- traffic -- trafficked children. children who have been forced to flee their home countries alone, to travel alone in search of safety. we have never before this time seen our government intentionally and cruelly severing accompany the children and redesignating them as unaccompanied. we have never seen our government systematically ecute parents who have nothing -- done nothing wrong or illegal but are simply asking the united states to do what we have a tradition of doing. offering safe haven to those who

children. the whole point of the flores settlement to protect children from bad contions of confinement and toake sure that they can be with their families and they can safe. and so in a situation where for whatever reason they absolutely can't be released or they can't be released yet nothing about the floresme sett compels family separation. >> and so chandra, i'm also curious. there have been reports that as these families are detained, children are detained, border patrol agents andother personnel are apparently being told not to try to console the children. uld that be the case? >> i think what they can think about is people are worried of being accused perhaps of molesting the children. and that unfortunately what we all know is what children need, especially young children,s physical comfort. in particular fromesheir loved so having a stranger comfort you may actually not be comforting. but if you do gain thef trust the children and you can be in a place where you're in public, where it makes sense, being able toust touch someone simply being age to say that we're looking for your paren

gutierrez: all of the children please come forward. under the protection of the u.s. house of representatives, we're here with the children because we believe that this is what is important. i want to thank all of my colleagues. i know that the rules to not speak, but iyou to think you speak with your presence here and with these children in your arms. but i want to tell you something, i know this is a tragic moment, but this speak, i weekend, i couldn't have felt prouder to be an american. i couldn't have felt prouder about just what our exceptionalism is. i saw americans everywhere across this country standing up for children. standing up for those that are in need. standing up for moms and dads that are being separated let's celebrate, too. america sees this injustice, see this is cruelty, sees this evil and it not remain silent. and that is the america that i am so happy i was born into. we have a great country. and let's remember that. so let's keep the fight. let's keep the fight for these children that are here. they are so beautiful. i want america -- the speak

time for anybody to bring a bill to the floor if they have the sincerity about it in terms of protecting children. they can do it under suspension. they can do it very quickly if they had the intention. unless they want to use it for a nefarious reason and want to do it in a way that not only harms parents and children but also violates our values as a country. thank you very much.

children are held for an average of 56 days. advocates of the children help them apply for asylum or other protection to stay. at is the wall street journal. another picture to show you from reuters in the washington post of children of detained migrants playing soccer outside that encampment. it is one of several pictures about the facilities where children are staying. we are asking republicans only in this hour, 202-748-8000 if you support it. 202-748-8001 if you oppose it. this is josh in illinois. hi. josh from illinois, hello? caller: this is gus. host: you are on, go ahead. caller: yes, i support the president and his policies. there is a simple way to end the immigration problem nobody wants to talk about. turn off the bird feeder. we have a bird feeder and the birds are destroying your port, get rid of the birdfeeder. we cannot afford to support all these people. what happens to the ones here already? and we are paying for that. what you guys should be doing in the news as putting out every single day, i want this spent on illegal immigration. the ones who are already here cut to their aid by 5% a mon

is causing these children as you correctly noted many of them are toward learners wrestled away from the arms of their parents and i mean them literally. customs and border protection will separate parents from children per policy whether they come with their parents at the port of entry or if they cross by foot these children are then sent to or are custody in the interim fair put in basically glorified dog kennels which have inadequate bedding showers pediatrician anything a child who had survived one of the most horrific journeys imaginable could need from there they're sent to waiting facilities i don't know if you saw recently senator jeff merkel from oregon tried to visit one it was in an abandoned wal-mart in brownsville texas customs and border protection didn't let him in because they don't want to see what's in there a picture of the inhumanity would really undermine what the administration is doing here which again has no penal logical or child welfare purpose but again is only meant to be punitive yes absolutely terrible conditions at least for some children once they're separated from their parents miss catherine we also heard last month from a governm

of 14, 68,000 unaccompanied children. and for them to be put thi position is unconscionable also. >> and the period were you talking about in4 201en you took over customs and border protection, there were a lot of unaccompanyiac chern coming ss the border or coming to the border. today secta of homeland security chrisen nielsen said the obama administration did what the trump adminispation did, sarating families. what is your response to that? >> so if someone was arrested for some criminal charges f the were smuggling drugs also f they were wanted on warrants, if they are going to be prosecuted, then certainly the family is going t. be separa but that number would be absolutely minute sceul when yu looked-- minutes cool when you look at that summer of 2014 wit all of thildren and all of those families. so keeping them together and then giving them an opportunity to go to a heagring, is the riht thing to do. not carrying kids away from their parents. >> when you say go to a hearing, the administration, the trump administration is saying that they a going to prosecute every one who comes into the country ilegally. is that the reason they're separating them? >> there is a gro

of impossible situation. he has a moral obligation to protect the american people and these children now in our care even as the current law puts those obligations sometimes in conflict. it's time for members of both parties to stop playing politics at the border.
