    Here's an idea: Maybe we should take the children of all the Trump people suspected of breaking the law into custody? I mean, some of them might end up there anyway. But it seems the Trump Admin believes that's real deterrence? Scott Pruitt has two kids, for example.

        Here's a link to the story, which notes that the Obama administration was sheltering unaccompanied minors, not *creating* unaccompanied minors by implementing a policy of arresting and imprisoning asylum seekers.http://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-holding-more-immigrant-children-shelters-ever-949099 …

        I mean, if that had been done with Charles Kushner and Fred Trump's kids things might be different.

        If I'm following all this right, the whole reason the US is tearing kids away from their parents is precisely because it refuses to jail kids for their parents' crimes. They just can't place those kids with other family members either, especially after the "lost kids" fiasco.

        Actually, it's more comparable to take ALL their children first, then figure out who's who after some time. After all, coming to the border and presenting yourself for asylum is NOT unlawful.

        To own a gun you should have to leave one of your children in government care as collateral against the possibility you're gonna start shooting people.
