What? If a U.S. citizen breaks the law and is found guilty they do go to jail. I'm surprised your not demanding that their kids get to live with them.

If that's the punishment for the crime. Jail isn't the punishment for every crime.

Oh for gods sake, I'm talking about Americans who break our laws just like illegals who are breaking our laws by entering this country illegally.

It's a misdemeanor and doesn't come with a jail sentence. How does that fact escape you or are you just ignoring it? It's a pretty important fact in the discussion. It comes with detention (which is a much harsher thing than an American would suffer for a misdemeanor) and processing back home or otherwise.

There is nothing more sacred than family, and America, where we hold ourselves up as this pillar of virtue, has become a monster who thinks nothing of doing something as despicable as treating these people like animals. If there has been one low spot in this entire administration, and there have been many, this treatment of other human beings is definitely a new low, even for Trump.
What a disgusting, offensive, clueless thing to say. Proving you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You think ANYONE who was in Auschwitz either as a victim or liberator thinks there is even a remote similarity? No.

Funny how your morals and sacred family values were missing when Obama was, in your words, the one putting children in Nazi concentration camps.

Being arrested and throw in jail is not a sentence. Seems that you're the one lacking facts.

Are you intentionally being obtuse?
