Should the children of U.S. citizen criminals be separated from their families?

Because the Dems got to have them votes.

Because the illegals are in a foreign country and therefore cannot be separated.

In fairness, progressives are generally in favor of non-monetary bond reform and non-prison alternatives in sentencing, so I'm not sure if they are actually being inconsistent on this one.

Thanks for starting a thread asking this question because I've asked the same question in another thread and no sore loser lefties want to answer it.

I doubt Toddy who cares so much about the innocent children will answer it.

Why are illegal aliens being housed at all? They, and their children, should all be deported. As quickly as possible. What's the hold-up?

Is there anything you actually do understand?

no lets put them in jail also. that little line of b/s shows just how stupid you are.

Depends on the crime.

The people in question have committed what amounts to trespassing. They have crossed a line in some cases a that isn’t even drawn in the sand....seeking asylum from what may or may not be a situation where their life is untenable through no fault of their own. There is a process that has been used for many years that determines if they are deserving of asylum. Almost none are....but there are some who are. The new policy punishes those who are worthy just as harshly as those who aren’t.


Why not simply deport them? If this is where we are as a nation today why not simply turn them away and send them back to Mexico regardless of whether they are worthy of asylum or not? They are Mexico’s problem, not ours, until they cross the border.

If they cross illegally with a child in tow just send them back with the child. It would be much more humane to simply issue a statement that no one, no matter what the situation, will be granted asylum at the border.

In 30 years when there actual terrorist attacks on US soil by people from Mexico and central and South America we be receiving EXACTLY what we are, as we speak, asking for with these actions.

I am not a Christian so I do not have a boogeyman and a magician to lean on. What is being done in our name to human beings at the US - Mexico border tonight is about as despicable as anything we have ever done as a nation. Anyone who supports our actions isn’t remotely a Christian....you are a fricking cruel, hateful a-hole. When it bites us in the arse you will be responsible.....

Our home-grown criminals usually leave their kids home when they are gonna commit a crime. Actually, the kids of the illegals are also criminals when they cross our borders with their parents. Lock 'em all up!

Trump should give a major Address/Speech on Immigration...and lay it out. Very simply.

Virtually HALF of South America would like to *immigrate* to the US and get on one the many forms of State Subsidization. They are uneducated, and can only do the kind of laborious work that Americans won't. They will be given the Right to Vote, and their vote for the Democratic (Authoritarian Socialist) Party will guarantee that subsidization...and Obama's "fundamental transformation" therein.

American Citizens will become economically *equal* ("income equality"/"social justice"), and lose the exceptional affluence that they have long enjoyed. Get in line for Healthcare, Social Security, Government-based Retirement, and any form of private monetary largesse (which will be taxed in order to maintain Government Subsidization to the massive influx of poor).

The American People should be able to make an EDUCATED CHOICE re this matter. If they are willing to lose their affluence, in service to charity for the World's poor...then vote for the Dem Party. Because that is what they essentially stand for, and will promote through their Open Border Policy.

There will be no do over on this one. At least no one that is morally tolerable.
