OK, I haven’t been paying attention.

Truly, WHY do they separate kids form parents?

Child predator risk?

Easier to set up facilities?

Disease controls?

Dunno.

If an US citizen commits a crime, do we incarcerate the children with their parents?

Because the parents are breaking the law. The only way to get asylum legally is to go through a port of entry and be processed accordingly. What I would like to know is where those ports of entry are.

Because the parents have committed a crime and they are placed in jail. And we don’t jail children. We have to do something with them.

A law said that you can't put unaccompanied minors in jail. A judge decided the law applied to accompanied minors too.

So there are two options, 1) put the parents in jail and separate the kids, or 2) don't the either parent or child in jail.

The people who say we shouldn't separate the kids want option 2. Law and order types want the parents prosecuted because they are breaking the lay, which results in the forced separation because of the judge's ruling.

They're separating them from the adults that bring them over illegally. The law was enacted to PROTECT the children, many of whom were being brought in by coyotes to sell/deliver to sex traffickers or by the sex traffickers themselves.

The wailing and gnashing of teeth around this is a diversion from the real news that they don't want anyone to pay attention to. The IG Report and upcoming hearings. This is an absolute disgrace. Now I have to ask what Laura Bush wants to hide?

Because their “parents” are criminals....they go to “jail” (not really, but do have to be dealt with)...the kids have to stay SOMEWHERE Else....just guessing

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

If the parents robbed a bank would you put their kids in jail with them?
