With the fate of the legislation uncertain, Democrats are trying to focus attention on the separation policy as an example of what they call Mr. Trump’s extremist approach to immigration. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California has collected 43 Democratic sponsors for legislation to limit family separations.

Absolutely lets limit family separations.

Turn them around and send them back to mexico the same day as they show up.

Presto, no separation of the "family."

Likely only 10 percent of those “children” come here with their parents (and I use the word “parents” loosely). The majority of these children are sent here ALONE, unaccompanied by their so-called parents.

But, then again, facts do not matter to leftist scumbags.

Funny how they don’t give a flying rat’s a$$ about such traumatic “separation” when they advocate aborting pre-born children.

I confess that I do not understand this issue. Are they proposing a law requiring children to be imprisoned with their parent when the parent is arrested? If a child arrives with two parents, whose cell is the child to be placed in?

“Why am I not hearing any common sense. Any parent that would leave their child behind his completely dysfunctional. Why would we want them in this country? The commonsense thing is the kids go with the parents. Why is nobody saying this?”

They are taking too long to process and deport these illegals. Bring them in and detain them as a family unit (if applicable) and if they don’t have papers to show citizenship then immediately deport the whole family.

These bureacrats are getting wrapped around the axle over nothing.

Isn’t it amazing how these convenient “events” take on a life of their own?

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would think this is part of a well planned diversion to hide the silent Coup taking place as we speak.

Laura Bush had no problem with Obama doing the same thing.

When exactly did Laura Bush become a leading member of the Republican Party?

The only other 'Republican' quoted was Susan Collins.

They haven’t received the attention they thought they would’ve received by now. I’m laughing at all of them. Their show gets worse by the hour.

All illegal aliens should be deported. They have already demonstrated their contempt for and willingness to break our laws.

No amnesty, not for anyone. Illegal aliens and immigrants from countries who hate us or whose value are incompatible with ours pose a threat to our way of life.

Exactly! Reunite them and send them home. This is not their home. They broke into our home.

From another NYT editorial:

“In fact, there is no law that requires families to be separated at the border. There is a law against ‘improper entry’ at the border, as well as a consent decree known as the Flores settlement that limits to 20 days the amount of time that migrant children may be held in immigration detention, which a federal judge ruled in 2016 also applies to families. A 2008 antitrafficking statute — signed into law by a Republican president, George W. Bush — also requires that certain unaccompanied alien minors be transferred out of immigration detention in 72 hours. None of those laws or precedents mean that children must be taken away from their parents.

Go ahead, lefties...try truth for a change. Just say that you support catch and release.
