This is such a lame argument.

People arrested for misdemeanors can usually get bail, if not ROR. If there are two parents, rarely are both arrested. If that’s not an option, there are often relatives who can take the kids. Yes, if all else fails, family services has to step in.

None of which is comparable to what is being done here.

Rarely have I ever been moved by an issue enough to call my elected representatives and demand action, but I’m going to do exactly that on Monday.

I’m fine with illegal immigrants being deported. But for Gods sake, this is the United States of America. We are better than this. At least we were until November 2016.

Happens every day to Americans. If you're arrested for a crime, your kids don't go to jail with you.

No we have not. That’s a bold faced lie.

You are lying and I’m calling you out.

So, you think we allow kids to go to jails with their parents?

No mention of the Obama and Democratic encouraged death train, and Illegal immigration industry, that is encouraged by the lure of citizenship, Sanctuary States, and free money. The encouragement Democrats offer to Illegal Immigrants often result in their deaths, rapes, and dismemberment. Nice You'all like to encourage this disgusting industry Like they say "No good deed goes unpunished" To bad these people have to pay the price for it.

You are mistaken. I worked in corrections and law enforcement and it is very unusual that a child has to go into foster care because a parent is incarcerated, but even in those cases the child stays in contact with the parent through phone calls and visits, and upon the parent's release the children are reunified with the parent. These idiots at DHS allow these kids two 10 minute calls a week, God knows who they will call because their parents in another detention center can't receive incoming calls and one visit per week with their siblings, assuming they can find the sibling, and DHS has NO PLAN for how they intend to reunify these children with their parents.

You can't put lipstick on a pig with all your glowing reviews of these detention centers. This is a wrong headed idea, it is immoral and cruel and could be ended in 5 minutes if Trump called DHS and told them to stop. It's becoming clearer every day that our President is a sociopath. A normal person simply would not do this.
So what would you propose that we do with these kids, put them in lock up with their parent? What happens when someone else in there harms or kills a kid?

I see plenty of complaining but no solutions, not even hints of a viable solution. I'm not an unreasonable person, if it were me I'd just take their info, photos, etc., yes even DNA(I can already hear the screams), and put it in a data base. Then warn them that the next time they enter illegally they would be charged, and they would be split up with the kids going to a child center in Mexico. Then push them back across the border - family intact. (that is if the adults had only committed the crime of entering this country illegally, if they'd committed another crime while here then they get split and the adult is charged). I would think that would be a common sense and viable solution, but I'm sure it would need to be studied first.

I'd even sign a petition to Trump for a solution that is reasonable and viable, and I believe Trump would want a good solution, too.

The left hasn't really thought it through. There are three options:

a) Jail the kids with their parents.
b) Turn them all back and don't all parent/child to enter.
c) Allow them to pass through as they wish.

Only b is acceptable. I think this is really proof that the left doesn't think about the things they protest.

I think our country has lost its soul and compassion for human life. It’s all about me,me,me now. How sad.

A is the best option. Taking babies from their mothers to be put into government camps is wrong. Weaponizing child abuse is wrong, and yes, taking a 2 year-old and putting him in a camp for a year away from his parents and with staff who are not allowed to touch them or hug them is child abuse and it's f****** sick. The repercussions of taking children in their developmental stages away from parents include lifetime emotional and developmental disabilities, up to various levels of mental retardation. It's f****** disgusting that this is happening in our country.
