We have to stop separating families. It's inhumane.

I wish the families actually thought the same.

quote:

A record 61,000 unaccompanied migrant children have surged over the U.S.-Mexico border and been handed to federal care facilities since October, and there are still over two months left in the fiscal year, according to immigration officials.

I robbed a bank and now the government wants me to go to jail! Separating me from my kids is inhumane!

The subpoenas led to the committee receiving details about 2,648 children who had been separated from their parents between April and June last year at the height of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that mandated prosecution of migrants who illegally crossed the border.


We allegedly separated 4% of the amount kids that showed up unaccompanied by an adult.

This is a god damn joke.

I’ve never put my kids in a position to where we could be separated for legal matters.

I don’t care whether they’re accompanied or not. We have no verification that they’re a family if they’re here illegally.

We should just stop putting criminals in jail all together so they won't be separated from their children.

If you don’t want to be separated from your family then don’t put yourself in the position to where you could be. It’s literally that simple.

pretty sure when you are put in jail we don't put your children in cages and lose track of them.

Likewise many prison sentences are adjusted / allow for family considerations.

There are tens of thousands of American kids who have been removed from their homes and put into group homes or worse because of the actions of their parents or guardians.

Are you a protected class? If not, you're pretty much screwed! They even have your confession in writing now too!

Don’t break the law.

If you do decide to break the law, at least don’t do so with your kids present.

You can be arrested for breaking the law and separated from your kids.

What is so hard to understand?

Someone doesn't understand a common sense comparison. Plus I refute your premise anyway.

Yeah, not for something like bank robbery but he was comparing the over all concept of removing kids from their parent(s) and you are just being obtuse to conflate the point. I get it though, you are just being a good little liberal trying to twist things.

Being in the country illegally is a misdemeanor. Robbing a bank is a felony. Pretty big fricking difference.

Do you get detained and separated from your kids if you commit other misdemeanors?
