which seeks to prosecute people who cross the border illegally, a misdemeanor for the first offense. When parents are charged, they end up in federal custody, and their children are separated from them and rendered unaccompanied.

Excellent!

Good on these protestors for using their First Amendment rights to stand up to this un-American government tyranny. This is the real spirit of America.
Don’t enter illegally, you won’t be separated. It’s the illegals actions that precipitate these actions. But far be it from me to blame the “honest” illegal alien.

It's not hard to figure it out, the more you give Illegals forgiveness for their actions, the more people will come here illegally from all over the world.

We are seeing how the Nazis operated in real time. A little demagoguery here, a spalsh of propaganda there...easy peasy!
People weren't trying to break into Nazi held territory. they were trying to leave when they were separated form their children.


Uncontrolled migration is the most irresponsible thing a country can do!


Arrest the parents just on the principle of placing their children in danger!


As outrageous as someone ignoring all the warnings on a ciggy package, getting a smoking related disease and suing the ciggy company.....despite decades of anti smoking programs, commercials and classes.


the bait Obama set out to attract illegal entry is still viable.

This is part of what is making me so torn on this. Honestly, I would rather them deport them all.
Yeah I get that and sending them home is the best if we are going arrest folks for crossing.
Oddly the ill conceived laws and programs of the us fedguv are what lure some some here in the first place. There are welfare schemes to game, a drug war to profit from, education for their children, healthcare in the ER's. Its as if america is rolled over brinks truck and it is daring/tempting people to come grab some, all the while trying to keep them out.
I wonder what the tab will be for all this detention, foster care, jailing, etc? The guv dont mind, it will just print more or just start hollering about border security while the zombies have their wallets drained some more.
And for the ones who come here to work, I have no problem with, just no tax bennies for you!

oh I stand corrected, carry on with your kidnapping then
A welfare state with open borders is a recipe for disaster. Lets end the welfare state, win/win for tax victims...er uh payers.

I bet China would separate me from my kids if I walked into their country undocumented.

The statements of most of the people here make me sick. And I imagine many, if not most, of you consider yourselves "good Christians".

"Deplorable" is too mild a description.

I never realized that when a criminal is caught while holding a child, the child must go to jail as well.
Seems dangerous having children in general lockup.
