I like your thinking. Cruz should ask Megyn if it’s wrong to enforce sentences on other types of criminals who have children. Do we not send parents to jail for breaking and entering just because it’d be heartless to break up a family?
Deportation of the parents is less “heartless” than jailing parents.
We allow the parents to take their children with deportation. The government does not break up the family. Only the parents decided to do that.
