Then why isn't this administration stating this as a good reason for separation?

Because it just isn't relevant.

It would be stupid of them to know that the best reason for separating adults/kids is safety and not honestly admit that's why or even USE this excuse.

That's a spin created somewhere on the interweb by Trump kool-aid drinking fans.

You will never get them to believe that. They can't handle ugly realities. They would rather let it go on than face it and do something to stop it.

They're safer than they would be in the same facilities with adults who will prey on them. Then again that's why Leftists are opposed to this, they have a history of preying on children and President Trump is "getting in their way"

Can you tell me how Illegal Aliens support themselves without either committing identity theft, or tax evasion?

Britain did not want any comments from us when they had issues with terrorism. In the same vein let the PM shut her mouth and not interfere with what we do with our policies.
People and leaders everywhere in the world need to speak out against a inhumane policy instituted by a mad man. Many in the world waited too long to oppose Hitler. Look how that ended.

Nonsense, this is due to a change in policy and Trump can quit separating children from their parents with a phone call
