The mother of the 6-year-old girl in this audio paid a smuggler $7,000 to guide them through Guatemala, Mexico and across the border into the United States illegally. Who bears the blame for putting the child at risk of death, kidnapping, and separation?https://twitter.com/ericuman/status/1008800749298610176 …

You hit the nail on the head. Cruelty is cruelty no matter if it is healthcare, police brutality, separating families. I would be examining my heart of compassion if I were you.

Having a tough finding compassion while struggling to pay for my child's surgery, because we lost our health insurance due to Obamacare.

The left has no compassion for those they hurt on their quest for cosmic justice. Their hypocrisy seemingly knows no bounds.

This is where false compassion - aka emotional judgment - leadshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/local/a-ticking-time-bomb-ms-13-threatens-a-middle-school-warn-teachers-parents-students/2018/06/11/7cfc7036-5a00-11e8-858f-12becb4d6067_story.html?utm_term=.78cca2e46c97 …

I don't see it as a binary. Recognizing legit problems (such as how this zero tolerance policy seems to have been dropped into place with near-zero preparation for the predictable flood of kids and accompanying suffering) is not capitulating. It's responsible.
-
Well if you want to take that kind of nuance approach to this ("i dont endorse her choices") then you should also consider that what she did was wrong. And the brunt of misfortune and hardship that she got in US border is her reponsibility to bear.
-
By this logic, if my Daughter sneaks out of the house & I beat her into the hospital, she bears the responsibility for her treatment, because she broke the rules & I bear no responsibility for my actions. Reactions to wrongs also carry responsibility.
-
Beating someone & temp separating them is completely different... but you know that, you're just being willfully ignorant. Now if you were to give an accurate analogy, like grounding her & temp separated her from friends, electronics, etc. That would be justified & comparable.
-
Right. Beside it wasn't a punishment. It's a procedure to keep everyone involve safe. If they're unhappy with that then feel free to stay away.
-
It's a policy & is equal to the worst of all punishments, as anyone who truly loves their children knows. Children are safer with their parents. This is NOT making them safer.
-
Nope. This is about preventing children traficking. And adults using children to enter US. That's the majority of the children travel here without their parent.

These people should not be separated. They should be taken to the border and let them back in Mexico. They can come to America like the ones who come legally. Also, why isn’t anybody upset with the countries these people are fleeing?

Nope they are coming for the hand outs. We are a land of providers and they come from countries that insist people provide for themselves. Chicago is more dangerous than Guatemala.

Are you suggesting that all 1500 kids are "kiddie shields". I get it, you go by the letter of the law, but that doesn't make you a heartless woman. Being here in the AC, out of the heat, safe with our laws provides you a twitter pulpit to trash a woman willing to risk death.

Its primal to fight for existence, it is also primal to protect yourself and those you love, meaning you don't crawl through a den of rattlesnakes hoping to not be bitten.

You are the rattlesnake. How's it feel? You punk.

Easy for you to criticize 'little brown woman'. Your daddy had his, I'm assuming H-1 Visa, processed FOR HIM. YOU never experienced those hardships. You act like so many of the Filipinos who get to this country and are all of a sudden all righteous. Putang ina mo

How old is her husband? I wonder if she too is one of those Filipinas who marry old white men
