    When a family seeks asylum, the government shouldn’t forcibly separate a young child from a parent unless absolutely necessary. Such separations are inconsistent with our principles as Americans. Thanks to @Bethany for its work in behalf of these children.http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/homeland-security/389022-whatever-isnt-an-option-for-immigrant-children …

        The children are illegal aliens, as well. The parents decide early on to come here illegally. The entire family should be humanely detained and sent back to their original country. We cannot be a country with no borders.

        Exactly. Nice to hear some same words, but action is needed, too.

        Agreed. And while Trump is being rightly criticized for this, Obama deserves just as much criticism as his administration lost children to traffickers.

        And jailed immigrant children illegally for years and forced them to represent themselves in deportation proceedings against government prosecutors.

        This is why, despite me being quite left, you are one of my favorite conservatives. We may not agree on everything, but you take a stand and don't buckle under party pressure.

        So, what will Congress do about it? How much irresponsible, illegal behavior is enough? This is depraved, inhumane. Is the bar finally low enough for action?

        Beyond the ethical problem, it's almost certainly more expensive for taxpayers too.

        Illegal entry should be met with detention to assess the children are actually the offspring of the people bringing them across, followed up by reunification of parents/offspring and sending them back to there home country, if illegals voted republican, dems would build wall
