The huge increases in families illegally crossing the border caused by catch and release are what drove the zero-tolerance policy. The numbers were pretty dramatic. The existing laws drive the separations when zero tolerance is enforced. Thus laws do need to be changed.
-
No one is arguing that the immigration laws do not need to be changed. This crisis, however, was manufactured by the administration, due to their decision to implement a zero-tolerance policy before getting legislation passed — as leverage to getting their legislation passed.
-
Well, they certainly made the point about the sheer number of adults & children that are entering the country illegally. When they were being released no one really focused on it. Whatever the cause it's certainly a situation that cannot continue. Congress needs to do their job.

Yes- everyone knows the rules - including the ppl in Central American - that see multiple ads & campaigns telling them not to come or send their children unaccompanied; so why are they ignoring it? Thinking we are going to be forced to give in?

Who uses children as ransom to bargain for an unneeded inanimate object?

In the Trump administration policies, screaming children are a feature - not a bug.
