I also do not accept the crap about breaking up families because the family is more than welcome to leave with them. If I were illegally in some foreign country, and they deported me, my “act of love” would be to take my intact family back home so we could remain together.
I also note they don’t mind breaking up families when its time to ship their minors up to the border, sitting on TOP of a freight train.
They broke up their own families by coming here or sending their kids here.
The problem is that our side can’t articulate that except maybe Cruz.
