There's a lot of anger here in the UK at @theresa_may 's silence.

I'm afraid you've got more faith in our weak Prime Minister than I do.

How about the parents don’t break the law and this won’t happen to their children? Parents should hold their children to the highest of compassion. Yet they force these young kids on a long death defying hike for ‘a better’ life.

A key thing:..."We're going to make it impossible to seek asylum without breaking the law." This is malicious intent by the government. Then people flippantly say, well if they didn’t break the law.

Avast majority of the people crossing don’t come up to I.C.E and the border requesting asylum they book it though hellish climate with children hoping they don’t get caught.

So can you imagine how messed up their life is south of the border that they have to risk going through a river, a dessert, and live in a country illegally. Life is better as an illegal in a good country than where they came from. Put yourself in their shoes.

Something about the term tender age makes my skin crawl. As if taking them wasn't enough

It's because it's the phrase human traffickers would use to sell child sex slaves.

That's exactly it!!! And there are already reports of no plan for reunification. Parents are being sent back to their country without their kids. What else would they want with these kids

That word - "tender" as in steak?

Unfortunately, I would think being eaten would be easier than what I'm afraid is going to happen to them.
