    My latest column is about separating families at the border. (Or, what might be called uncompassionate conservatism.)https://www.thedailybeast.com/please-conservatives-speak-out-against-this-horrific-border-policy …

        While you joke, that was actually the policy under Obama and Bush - detain family units together while processing them for removal and deciding their cases, so that they could all be removed together if not allowed to stay.

        The policy was to catch and release and they never showed up to court.

        Great article. Thank you. "The French statesman Alexis de Tocqueville probably never said “America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great,” but that doesn’t mean the sentiment isn’t true."

        there are no such things as "conservatives" anymore. There are trump sycophants and there are "anti-American progressives." GOP moving to suppress votes, free press, take over the DOJ and the courts, and eliminate any disagreement with trump. It's classic Putin strategy.

        With all due respect, Matt ... the parents of these kids are the ones to blame for this; not our laws. They cross our borders with their children illegally. If I did that in Mexico, I'd be hauled off to prison for life. You know that's true.

        In the end, these adults are criminals. If my wife and I robbed a store, we would be jailed and our children would be taken away by child services. Why should it be any different for border jumpers? It is preposterous to release criminals simply because they have kids.

        Matt, there are conservatives who find this and many other things appalling from this admin., especially the center-right. The Republican party is slowly being divided in two. The problem is, which part will bring the "Republican" name along with them.

        Speak out to these people who are invading our country and tell them to stop. It’s your fault for telling them that they can just walk in while you have no authority to do that. Abide by the law.

        Illegal activity separates families everywhere, all across this country and others, not just at borders. That's the fault of the illegal activity, no one elses. Should we not enforce laws because enforcement effects families?

        if such family units that did not have a strong asylum claim could be immediately deported, as happens to Mexicans who try to cross, this policy would be unnecessary. but without it there is no other legal deterrent and congress won't fix the asylum loopholes

        Don’t you think it’s fair to say the families put themselves at risk for separating if they attemp to cross our borders illegally? Our government has virtually no responsibility for foreign nationals. Instead, it is supposed to be responsive to the good of the American citizenry.
