If they’d stayed in their own country instead of illegally crossing into ours they wouldn’t be separated.
Now there you go again...speaking simple logic. It is so obvious, isn’t it? The liberal firestorm over this will be huge, however.
To be fair, this threat of separation was small under the Obama regime. And, to be sure, a parent may face a Hobson's choice in staying in, say, North Korea vs risking separation. I get it.
But Mexico isn't NK. And Trump has been around for about 18 months. So...The question not being asked is: what does it say about the parents, that they're willing to risk separation from their flesh and blood, in breaking the law?
US born criminals are separately from their children also after being arrested. Where is the sympathy?
