It seems shortsighted to dwell so much on whether families are kept together
Tell that to the toddler crying for its mommy.
My Spanish probably isn’t up to the job but it’s no easier to explain to a toddler why she was carried through the desert or why she can’t stay.
um… when did you last explain anything to a toddler?
nothing, nothing compares to the anguish a toddler feels when their mom is not with them. and i am just talking about a 1 hour trip to the grocery store. if a toddler had to leave home, sure that is sad, but if they are with their mom/dad? not anguish.
Whenever a person commits an offense resulting in separation from children that is very hard for the children. Typically the parents should have to answer for that.
did you know that the majority of these separations being complained about, are from those attempting to seek asylum? yeah, lets punish them for fleeing a shitty situation. get educated. to say what jay says, do some research it isn’t my job to do it for you.
Asylum isn’t a magic word that let’s people stay. Generally the people are coming here because their own countries are lousy. Doesn’t mean they have a right to enter.
Jay Harold Christ mrebo… of course it isn’t magic.
but locking up parents, and shipping off toddlers, when the parents came to SEEK ASSYLUM is fucking nuts, and this is why people are making noise about this (Not because they hate Trump, Jay). this is why people are starting to say that the USA might be committing human rights violations.
I’ve yet to hear what the solution is.
I don’t get why you can’t just bring yourself to admit that this is wrong. Why must there be a cut-and-dry obvious solution in order to cease doing something really horrible? Also, you should be glad that people want to immigrate to the US. Once people stop wanting to move here, that’s a sign that the United States is a shithole just like everywhere else.
