Proponents of separating children from their parents repeat the same mantra, “These people should find some other way to get to the United States.” Being able to find another way is a luxury for many.

Consider the practicalities. So-called illegal migration is a boon for those who wish to exploit migrants. It’s a feature and not a bug.

The notion that separating children from their parents will somehow “deter” migrants, asylum-seekers, etc. ignores the fundamental fact that vulnerable people are easy to exploit. And that the system wants to exploit them.

The horrific abuse of these families is not predicated on any legal norms. It’s predicated on the idea that society will view some people as “undeserving” of lawful and/or compassionate treatment.

One shouldn’t let so-called “legalistic” arguments get in the way of the truth: Vulnerable families are being abused. Children are being scarred for life. And not in the name of the law.

One last thing. The supposedly legalistic arguments are WRONG. It’s not illegal to cross the border and request asylum. Our treatment of asylum seekers, however, violates numerous international humanitarian laws.

This Admin's abduction of children puts it in the same league as Boko Haram, except that unlike Boko Haram, this is committed by state agents in a widespread and systematic manner as part of an official policy. This is the kind of stuff that gets you indicted at ICC.
