    About 3000 children, including at least 100 under the age of 5, were separated from their parents and held in custody at our border. I just left Texas, and saw no real plan to bring these families back together before tomorrow’s court deadline.

        Simple as this! Come in through legal check points and no problems. Come in by any other means illegally and this is what happens. 12K of these 'kids' are unaccompanied. When y'all had majority you did zero! In fact you invited more to come!!!pic.twitter.com/uUFxJY3MHi

        One is a national statistic that has consequences. The other, wouldn't have never happened if you were not here illegally. So, illegal one is avoidable

        The Thai government will go through miles of treacherous caves to bring children to their families. The us government needs to be commanded by a judge and still refuses. Maybe the Democrats need the help of Thai navy seals to fight Republicans as they tear apart families forever

        The widespread unlawful discrimination against immigrants seeking asylum in the United States, especially the policy that has separated 3000 or more children from their parents with no plan to adequately care for them or to reunite them, constitutes a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!

        Besides requiring reunification of families, I believe the government should be liable for the permanent harm done to these children. Reparations should be court ordered, including after risk assessments, the granting of their requests for asylum and services to help them heal.

        Permanently losing your children seems about proportional for the misdemeanor of crossing a border without the correct paperwork. Now how to proportionally punish those who have stolen the children of legal asylum seekers. Let's discuss that.

        Permanently? And you want to punish the people enforcing the law? Ludicrous.

        You are not #prolife if you support separating kids from their parents. That is just an atrocity. Despicable.

        I understand why you would say that: I have kids. Many of these kids aren’t coming with their parents. Also, I wouldn’t want children detained with the worst of the people coming over illegally, would you?

        I'm sure those toddlers and young children are coming here all on their own. Sure. And those parents trying to get their children back and talking about their experiences are all "crisis actors" or whatever you call them to pretend Trump isn't behaving with callous inhumanity.

        Great point! Why don't you tell their parents to stop trying to enter the country illegally! Also, tell them to fix where they live. Just because there are issues in El Salvador, the default solution does not need to be to immigrate to the US. Why not Argentina? Or Mexico?

        Applying for asylum is legal. This is not a difficult concept to grasp. Applying for asylum is legal.
