The question was framed just fine. I said "immigration" when you wanted to see "travel." The spirit of my question was obvious and you've successfully derailed the conversation and avoided having to answer the question, so bravo on that one.

Exclusive: Trump administration considering separating women, children at Mexico border | Reuters
Women and children crossing together illegally into the United States could be separated by U.S. authorities under a proposal being considered by the Department of Homeland Security, according to three government officials.
The policy shift would allow the government to keep parents in custody while they contest deportation or wait for asylum hearings. Children would be put into protective custody with the Department of Health and Human Services, in the "least restrictive setting" until they can be taken into the care of a U.S. relative or state-sponsored guardian.
I thought republicans were pro-family? /s

I'm so glad you guys have never berated me for not admitting when I **** up, that would make this awkward, right? So now that that's out of the way, could you help me by pointing out said immigration restrictions? I wasn't aware of a ban on visa submissions.

Why comparing Trump's and Obama's immigration restrictions is flawed | PolitiFact
Trump said, "My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months."
The Obama administration in 2011 delayed processing Iraqi refugees for six months following evidence of a failed plot by two Iraqi refugees.
Trump’s executive order temporarily bars travel to the United States for all citizens from seven countries, and it is not in direct response to actions from citizens of those countries.
Furthermore, Iraqi refugees were nonetheless admitted to the United States during the 2011 suspension while Trump has put an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees.
We rate Trump’s claim Mostly False.

...which is different from the reasoning of Obama's refugee visa halt.
...and you forgot to address the difference in implementation, which was completely different between the two. Like I said, unprecedented.

So? It's still the same result, and that's what was under scrutiny in the first place. There is no immigration ban, no matter how you want to spin it.
...and you forgot to address the difference in implementation, which was completely different between the two. Like I said, unprecedented.
Go ahead and explain how Trump's travel ban is that different from Obama's travel ban?

I fail to see the difference between Trump's and Obama's. Not that it matters in the least.
I don't support the ban, but the FUD, misinformation, and hysteria the reaction to it has created has been downright depressing - mostly because it looks like the most vocal and hysterical of those protesting it are also the least intelligent and least informed. I guess that's how the media makes their money though.

So from what you've read above, or anywhere else, you genuinely believe Obama indefinitely banned ALL TRAVEL from SEVEN COUNTRIES like Trump did? Really? Because that's what you have to believe to 'fail to see the difference.'
Well, that's not what Obama did. At all. So you're lacking either in intellectual honestly or basic reading comprehension. Sorry to be harsh, but really dude, there's no other choices here.

Obama:
Billy: Mom, Timmy hit me.
Mom: Ok, Timmy isn't allowed over here any more, and for that matter, neither are his brothers, until they straighten up.
Trump:
Billy: Olaf and Brad said they were going to hit me. Timmy helped me make them back off.
Mom: Ok, Bobby, Johnny, Kevin, Abdul, Jose, and Pierre can't come over. Neither can Timmy.
2 months later:
Mom: Ok, I've changed my mind, Timmy can come over. But not those other guys.

Put your strawman away brother, not needed here.
I fail to see a material difference between Obama banning travel from one country and Trump banning travel from 7. I'm sorry, I just don't see it. I don't think the ban was a good move, either way.
Well, that's not what Obama did. At all. So you're lacking either in intellectual honestly or basic reading comprehension. Sorry to be harsh, but really dude, there's no other choices here.
I'm sorry brother, but your lack of rationality here does not make me intellectually dishonest or unable to read. The fact you would even suggest such just demonstrates your inability to bring rationality into this discussion, and that you wouldn't accept a logical or well founded argument even if it was shoved up your ass - your head is in the way.

"Unprecedented" doesn't mean what you think it means, obviously, but feel free, it doesn't make him any more right when he does it, either.
On the extreme end, the Johnson-Reed Act banned travel, and immigration, from nearly every country in the far east, and that was for almost 30 years.

His MO is to wedge in those personal attacks, he seems to take it as a personal affront that anyone dares to disagree with him, making reasonable conversation impossible.

So is your argument that what Trump has done is the same as what Obama did, with the only, and non-material difference, being a matter of scale? That is not a logical or well founded argument. That's a statement of belief that does not square with the facts.
Again, Obama TEMPORARILY halted PROCESSING REFUGEES from ONE COUNTRY based on SPECIFIC INTELLIGENCE of a MATERIAL THREAT.
Trump INDEFINITELY banned ALL TRAVEL from SEVEN COUNTRIES with NO INTELLIGENCE JUSTIFICATION.
The issue is not if you think one or the other was a good idea, but if they are materially different. If you can't recognise the massive difference in both scale and motivation, I can't come up with anything beyond a wilful desire to ignore reality.

It was passed with a bi-partisan vote. Also at that time Dems were running around the countryside in white hoods burning crosses, so it was pretty bad all over.

Person A: States reasonable point of view.
Person B: States unreasonable point of view.
Person A: Your point of view is unreasonable. Either you know this or you don't. It logically follows that if you know, you're being an asshole and if you don't then you're an idiot.
Person B: If you're going to make personal attacks then we can't have a reasonable discussion.
Sometimes the possibility of reasonable discussion stops with the unreasonable point of view. Especially if its held by someone who knows its unreasonable.

I have a simple question. If that same rape had been committed by US citizens ... something which happens on a daily basis unfortunately ... would one be similarly outraged? Because if one is more outraged because the perpetrator was an "illegal immigrant" then perhaps one needs to examine their underlying motivations.

I think the general idea is it wouldn't have happened if he wasn't here. I agree with the sentiment but you'd have to show it was preventable. Was he a 'bad hombre' prior to tjthis s? If so, I wish he'd been deported instead of the OP.

I think Thomas, who's kind of a jerk IMO, is conflating two different questions.
Even though I'm radically pro-immigration, I can see the argument there should be penalties for evading the system. Were our system just, I myself would be far more inclined to play hardball with those who disrespected the law.
That's a different question for how a minor who disrespects immigration laws gets treated. A minor with a parent who's legally living here.
In a scenario like this, during the months it usually takes to process a deportation case, what's usually going to make the most sense is to release them into the custody of their parent, not lock them up.
Abandoning this guideline is not an argument I can see. Certainly not from a single data point.

If I'm reading the memos properly, and there's not an important piece of the story missing, the Trump administration's policy guidelines are this guy should get to slide.
Whoever made the decision may have felt enabled by Trump's assholishness, but what they were told they should do is let the guy slide.
This is what the wife expected, and what was done. While there still may be schadenfreude, it's not as all encompassing as it reads on the surface.

^^ Indeed. That's a case of assholes on the Left deciding to punish someone by misusing the system, similar to how IRS procedures were abused not long ago, then regressives sit back and laugh and mock those being persecuted under wrongful detainment and or prosecution. Real winners, there.

It's hearing what you want to hear. Trump was also open to a new Operation Wetback during the campaign. She must have forgotten about that.

OAW
If two adults (18 and 17 y/o) were enrolled as freshman, and then took turns raping a 14 year old girl in the bathroom, you're damned right I would be similarly outraged.
If this happens on a daily basis, can you please find me an example from 2017? Remember, this happened during school hours on a school property, where attendance is compulsory as a matter of law.
My problem isn't with them being immigrants, it's with them gang-raping a 14 year old girl who by rights (and by law) they never should have met, much less had an opportunity to rape in a bathroom.

When I said "daily basis" I meant rapes in general. Not the specific circumstances of it occurring to a 14 year old in a school bathroom as in this case. But looking back on it I can see how when I used the phrase "same rape" that one might not get that from my words. I should have been more precise. That being said, I have no objections to the sentiment you expressed above. Because I share it.

Is it irrelevant what she wanted to hear actually matches what he's done?

If I read Trump's immigration crackdown memo correctly, it maintains the previous DHS guidelines for who ICE can let slide. This guy qualifies on multiple grounds.
Here's the crackdown memo...
https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/fi...l-Interest.pdf
...which says right up front this memo...
https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/fi...red_action.pdf
...still stands.
Unless I misread it (I admit I only skimmed), the husband is an ideal candidate to let slide.

We're back in that situation where you seem to be giving generous benefit of the doubt. You don't strike me as the type of person who would take what a politician says (or writes) at face value, but here you are doing that for Trump again.
I might remind you that we only have these two cases because they got picked up by the news. It's not like we have ICE self reporting here. But we have seen news of more aggressive enforcement, like picking up undocumented at courthouses or removing a person with a brain tumor from a hospital.
Tell me, how many more examples do I need to dig up to change your mind?
