You know what - as a parent and a grandparent there is NO WAY I would involve my kids in this sort of risk. If I knew "Hey, if I break the law, my kids and grandkids might get separated from me," well, I wouldn't do it.

It's irresponsible parenting.

What if your children's lives were in danger where you lived? To what lengths would you go to protect them?

Wow, that's a big 180 in 18 months. Really sad to see. Apparently Trump has a new breed of supporters that have no empathy for even small children.

Which speaks to how truly desperate these parents are. What if a parent is sure that if they don't run, their children will be murdered?

I know you don't give a damn about the Bible, not the parts about compassion toward foreigners anyway, that's more than obvious, after all Jesus said "suffer the little children..." (don't read the rest of it!), but I thought I'd leave this here:


Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not He who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not He who guards your life know it?
Will He not repay everyone according to what they have done?




Proverbs 24:11-12
Where does it say to force your beliefs on others?

Get rid of the welfare state and do not reward those who break the law entering America illegally.

No one seeking asylum at a legal port of entry is being separated from their kids. I have posted a link several times proving it. It is only those parents that entered our country illegally with their kids that it is happening to as they are going to jail. Want their kids in jail with them? Since when do American law breakers get to take their kids to jail with them?
We will just have to agree to disagree then. I won't change my mind though. Trump owns all of this mess and is holding these kids hostage just to get the $ for his wall. Mexico isn't going to pay for it like he said before. He could care less about border issues and will keep his base fired up to deflect from all the other lies he spews.
How do you people defend this man who lies just about every time he opens his mouth? Oh I remember it's all that "fake" news

What these families know is this: "If I continue to live in my native country, my kids might get KILLED." See the difference??

Greywar is right and is quoting from the USCIS government site. Bos2iad is wrong and is quoting from a free legal advice page. Oy vey.
