        She was applying for asylum. That’s a LEGAL immigration process.

        You’re not guaranteed asylum.. nowhere in the constitution does it say we have to accept them under any circumstances.. you’re just a bleeding heart.. and I do feel for the kids don’t get me wrong but their parents are responsible for this..

        Under international law, states have an obligation to help people fleeing persecution by not sending them back in to danger.

        These little kids have become wards of the government? Sounds like Japanese internment during WWII (or school-to-prison pipeline for Black youth).

        She knew what would happen. She could have stayed in Mexico but she chose not to.

        There is an alternative. Mexican people could rise up and overthrow crooked government (but U.S. probably wouldn't like revolution taking place across San Diego border).

        Requesting asylum at the border is a legal way to seek entry to the US. She was following the law.

        And she's not the first or only person who sought legal entry into the US that had their child taken away.

        Yes actions have consequences, this bigot of a president just signed a paper separating children & he could care less. His actions bring sorrow & pain to millions of people who just want to seek Better life. This is no president this is a fool in chief
