A mother holding her child while sitting on a concrete floor behind a chain link fence is sad.
A bunch of 3 and 4 year olds in that same cage, who were torn out of their parents arms, by officers collecting US government salaries, is criminal.  Morally reprehensible. Not just sad.

For one what you are saying happened is false.  Two, ANY adult under arrest for breaking the law is going to have ANY child taken away from them.  We are talking about CRIMINALS that broke federal law.  They should get no special treatment.

One, what is false about the story I told? It happened hundreds of times. True as the sunrise.

Two, this country has detained immigrants for over a hundred years. It wasn't until 2017 that we ever, once separated an immigrant child from his parents, without any specific suspicion of those parents being violent, or drug offenders.
technically illegal immigration is by definition an illegal act, but different illegal acts have different consequences.
