Lock up the employers and the illegals. Confiscate the assets of both to help offset the costs.
What concentration camps?
Barb wire? Guard towers? Attack dogs patrolling? Machine guns in the towers? Work gangs? Executions?

Hmmm...

Looks like this may not be a winning issue for the midterms:

“American voters broadly oppose the Trump administration policy of separating immigrant families at U.S. borders, according to a poll released Monday.
...
Sixty-six percent of voters oppose the policy of splitting up parents and children who cross the border illegally, versus only 27 percent who back it, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. The findings vary greatly by party leaning.“

They aren't gaming a system.
They are gaming the system. Mexico has to honor the request for refugee status as well. They wanted the USA because of our freebies.

Cue: faux outrage.
Don't mention that separation went on under the BHO administration. . . and those before it.

Remember, the mission is to denigrate the president and his administration, while ignoring the total clusterflock of CONgress in its failure to enact legislation.

Cue: Dog and pony show.
P.S. - abolish socialism. There - problem solved.

LOL -- I notice you didn't mention what the other alternative is, since there isn't one. Either the kids are separated from their parents, or they go to jail with their parents. There is no other option. Why should these kids be treated better than American kids whose parents commit crimes?

But if the USA has a law that ALLOWS them to seek asylum here -- then we have to treat them as human beings, not just one step up from what they have been trying to get out of.
They could have but chose not to. They instead choose to endanger their children needlessly.
Word travels. If you want a pass on entering illegally just claim you need asylum.

I would say that they Arte treated very well considering the fact they have been endangering their children needlessly, out of greed for US benefits.

LOL -- fake poll. Only about 5% of those polled are qualified to respond, since 95% of them don't even know what the policy is.

I think that opposition will grow as publicity about it and the conditions under which the children are housed become more widely known. Every dad in America can feel the anguish of a father whose child is calling out for him but he can't help when they hear that audio that went out today. I will admit that I was in favor at first, but the reality of what is going on and the trauma to the children is simply not something that we as a moral nation should tolerate. We can find a better way.

We have to know WHO IS IN OUR COUNTRY AND WHY LOL STARTING WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE AMERICAN BORN TERRORIST......

AMERICANS ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HATE TO LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES I WONDER WHY ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY SPEAK MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE ..I BET YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN EUROPE...OR ANYWHERE ASIDE FROM YOUR FRONT PORCH
Im well traveled and yes I speak more than 1 language. What does any of that have to do with people trying to enter our country illegally?
What does that have to do with people declining to seek asylum in other countries on their way to the USA?
What does your entire rant have to do with the thread topic?

As for home grown criminals. WE have enough, no need to import more.
I am an immigrant in another country. Do you know how a non-criminal immigrates?
1. We find out what that country requires.
2. We apply for a VISA supplying all required documents.
3. We wait to be invited in, by waiting for our VISA approval.
4. Once there we obey the laws of the land. We dont demand special treatment or try to game the system.

Perhaps you should chose a source other than Laraza for your talking points. Laraza? What does that mean in Spanish? The Race? Now that does sound racist.

Hoping this works. A detailed and simple explanation of the process with regards to separation of family at the border.

Just presenting as more information -- that's all......
