If this shit makes you sad... why sad now? Why not sad 10 or 20 years ago when these border policies were put into place and affirmed as law?
"Zero Tolerance" is the new policy applied to interpret the law differently than the last 2 administrations. Its a policy that is part of a strategy to deter immigration by breaking up families and detaining children away from their parents.
People aren't upset about returning families back to Mexico after they've been caught illegally entering the country - that is a straw man argument that most will not defend. They're upset about a govt that abuses kids as a policy. Where are the pizzagate truthers when real harm is being done to kids?
US President says Congress has ability to act immediately to address the wave of unaccompanied children coming over the border from Mexico into the US
The Trump administration’s decision to forcibly separate more than 2,000 children from parents requesting asylum or illegally crossing the nation’s southern border is morally reprehensible. It is nothing like the Obama administration’s decision in 2014 to place unaccompanied minors in closed housing units until they could be transferred to family in the United States while they awaited court proceedings.
I was the senior civilian defense official at the Pentagon overseeing defense policy on this matter during the 2014 crisis. The first core fallacy of President Trump is to equate former President Obama’s policy of temporarily holding unaccompanied children in closed centers with its decision to forcibly separate accompanied children from their parents upon surrender to U.S. authorities. In 2014, the government’s action was to temporarily hold the children pending determinations of their legal status.

"Parents need to know this is an incredibly dangerous situation, and it is unlikely that their children will be able to stay," Obama said, referring to a flow of 57,000 unaccompanied minors from Central America who have crossed the southwestern US frontier since October.
"I've asked parents across Central America not to put their children in harm's way in this fashion."

msm fails to mention that 10,000 of the current 12,000 illegal immigrant children being detained came here without their biological parent, but instead came here with an adult smuggler/trafficker.
why would we want to keep them with their trafficker?
This divide is getting pretty serious. You guys are fucked.
