Why are so many illegal immigrants who illegally entered the country, separated from their kids/kids they claim are their's?

Is that what you meant?

If they were so concerned about their kids, they would not commit a crime and enter the country illegally.

Because I can find nothing to support your claim.

You can still apply for asylum even if you passed through Mexico from your home country.

You don't have to apply for asylum to the first country you hit.
That's too broad a statement. You do have to apply in the first country you hit in the EU:

Apparently, it's different in the Mexico/USA context.

It was the law so stop blaming Trump. Do you also grieve for American lawbreakers who can't take their children to jail with them?

Yeah ... dunno exactly how it works ... but supposedly one of the reason that Mexico has not responded totally (they're doing some) to Trump pressure is that they just signed some sort of international accord to allow for the free movement of those being persecuted ???

Then, too, the last thing Mexico would want is to be portrayed as the USA mercenary with pictures of armed policemen battling women and children on the Guatemalan border flashed around the world. That also doesn't play politically in Mexico.

But then, conversely ... the caravans piling up at the US border creates pressures in Mexican border communities.

So it's a difficult situation ... with no super simple solution.

Tough to be rich with those around us not so much, I guess.

You cannot be taken seriously.


Obama said separating children from parents was a good deterrent to illegal entry.


The pics of kids in cages, taken during Obama's administration, were used to smear trump.


Your indignation is selective and disingenuous.


You would think parents cared enough about their children to not be put in a situation where they would be separated.


Be concerned about the government responsible for the conditions that caused the people to flee their country instead of the US response to unplanned, overwhelming illegal entry, baited by loopholes in legislation which the democrat refuse to fix.


Sad no one cares to shine a bright light on the Mexican government as it exists at the pleasure of the drug lords. to ignore the role of the Mexican government, is to demonstrate the pretentious outrage over separated children, is only to forward a political narrative.

This process started under Obama!

Many of those kids are with people who are not their parents.

There are laws in this country that allow for asylum.

You might want to read the difference between Trump and Obama policies on separations of families.

Seeking asylum is not illegal.

Kidnapping kids is illegal. Court has ruled that these families need to be reunited.
