Why do you people pursue this inane reasoning. If someone robs a Quick Mart, do they take their kids to jail to be with their criminal parents? Waiting.

The inability or refusal to use critical thinking regarding this issue is astounding.

Drawing false equivalencies doesn't help either.

We have throughout decades said that family unity was important. To toss it away is a decision based on hatred and fear, not logic. Deport those we need to deport, but separating families is cruel and stupid.

More info is need to understand what you are trying to convey.

You might want to read the Canada-USA treaty on asylum. One that has legal precedence over any other laws.

Nice try. The mind of a Leftist is fascinating. Deny and deflect. These migrant criminals know the rules and the risks.
You pretend to think otherwise.

False equivalency, and you know it, or should know it.

If you don't, I worry about what empathy you have in your body.

International law stipulates that the asylum seekers should have been accepted by Mexico. Instead, Mexico passed them along to the US. So, the US will just pass them along to Canada, where their families can remain intact, which is a better outcome for the asylum seekers. Wouldn't you agree?
