That's not what your article says.

I know - where was the coordinated outrage mob in 2013, 2014?

(BTW - I am against separating the families as I am against illegal immigration - fix immigration laws, enforce those laws, and allow more through the front door LEGALLY).


This outrage mob is the same coordinated bullet-point-knee-jerk-talking-points reaction that was the post Parkland Anti-NRA coordinated bullet-point-knee-jerk-talking-points. I wonder what August's coordinated bullet-point-knee-jerk-talking-point will be??

No the outrage mob - but come to think of it - I don't recall them screaming when Obama era rules were doing it - not like today.

I cracked up (well would have if the topic was less horrible) watching NBC playing the religious card today.

Because it wasn’t like today. Under Obama the policy wasn’t perfect but they were prioritizing deportations not weaponzing children.

The article I posted ( if you read it), says that in 2013 alone, if the 70,000 parents separated from their kids, more than 10,000 had not been accused of any crimes.

So how were they “prioritized” before being separated from their children? You are pathetically, desperately, trying to differentiate between the two.

"Crimes" Jim. Being in the country illegally isn't a crime. There were other criteria being used to prioritize deportations as your article describes.

“Children born in the U.S. are given automatic citizenship, regardless of their parents’ immigration status, and a 2013 report by Human Impact Partners estimated that 4.5 million U.S. citizen children have at least one parent who is undocumented. When a parent is deported, their U.S.-born children sometimes leave with them. But some stay in the U.S. with another parent or family member. Some children end up in U.S. foster care.”

This......and the title of the article

So what you’re saying is the kids aren’t forceable separated and the parents are given a choice? They would have time to try and place kids with family? It also notes the US Gov would help with paperwork if the parent wanted to take the child with them.

Big, huge difference.
