You mean that it started under Bush, was discontinued by Obama and then reinstated by Trump, right?

Point of clarification:

“We have always separated families under two situations, one when we can’t establish them as a parent and that child is being trafficked,” Homan said, adding that migrant smugglers sometimes pose as parents to children that are not theirs. “The second situation when we separate is when we prosecute.”

I guess Schliff doesn't care that some of the "parents" are bringing children across the border so that they can be pimped-off.

People who present themselves seeking asylum have their kids taken away from them.

They don't know where their children are for days, weeks, months.

How can anybody support this?
Exactly!

Blame the parents, not those enforcing our nation’s laws. (I’m addressing illegals here)
What kind of parent would sneak their children into someone else’s country illegally, and expose their children to all the dangers and predators involved with illegal crossings. If they have children here that become citizens, well thats their
decision, and they knew the risks but did it anyway.

Want a better life for their children —well then do the respectable thing and work to change the problems in your own country

Watch the Chris Hayes clip I posted earlier. When this claim was made about how did they know these were even their kids, the judge said do a DNA test.

It was done. It was a match.

Seems claims about "pimping" could be settled in a fairly straightforward manner.

In decades past it was typically only the men that crossed over illegally ~ they rarely ever brought their families with them. That started to change in the early-80's when self-entitlement spread to the whole family.

I don't give two bird turds what Adam Schiff or President Nieto think of Trump's wall. Nieto may think it's inhumane but Mexico's poor is HIS responsibility, not ours. He and every one of his predecessors just want to dump their over-load on us. Hell with all of them.

Where is Melania in all of this? What about protecting the innocence of children?

How can anyone believe they are seeking asylum after traveling across how many countries to get here? They are attempting to manipulate the system and take advantage of our good will. Perhaps if they really loved their children they wouldn't have endangered them by traveling the extra distance just to get here. Could it be that they didn't seek asylum in those other countries because they don't offer all the perks that we do?

Far from surprised that the same people who post hateful nonsense on other threads are posting it here.

But I'm stunned that Americans will actually do this, that American men and women will actually tear a baby from a mother's arms, that the POTUS and his Chief of Staff support this.
