Ether way that doesn't justify acting in a way toward children that would be deemed criminal in a court of law. 

Once you take a child away from a parent the welfare of the child becomes your responsibility. Acting in a way toward children that keeps them in a cage would be considered criminal in any court of law. There are American citizen parents who are in jail for having done the same thing. Wearing a police badge or an ICE badge doesn't give you a license to violate the Law of God.

A) Don't take this personally, but that last sentence is some truly jarring NO bishop kowtowing. It's almost cult-like. These Novus Ordo bishops are all mostly milquetoast and put politics ahead of the Catholic faith. This is not violating the Law of God. What about 60 million abortions since Roe v. Wade? Sodomy enshrined as counterfeit marriage. So many other things in this world are actual violations of the Law of God.

B) American citizens aren't in jail for crossing the border illegally... because they're already American citizens.

Separating children, possibly.

If I seemed uncouth to you on this, please accept my apologies. It's just that when one is raised by legal immigrants, they typically take a hardline stance on this issue. 

My parents are Democrat and a vague semblance of a free-market libertarian. He does not vote and I've only recently heard him say anything political. They, because they spent the time and money to come here via New York and Puerto Rico, take a very right-wing stance on it.

The Truth about Separating Kids From Parents at the Border


There’s been a lot of talk about separating children from their parents at the border in recent days. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a complete necessity or an absolute evil. Here at UnitedVoice, we know that appearances can be deceiving; until you truly start to dig into the “why” of a situation, you can’t possibly know whether those public viewpoints are true. The media, politicians (from both sides), and even social media can influence how we feel and cause us to “fall for” fake news.
We decided to do a little bit of digging into this issue to see what the truth about separation really was. It turns out the answer isn’t straightforward; many people have the wrong idea about why and how it’s happening.
• First things first: Yes, sometimes children are separated at the border. To deny this fact would be tantamount to lying. Additionally, some of the videos and images you’ve seen of children detailed are, in fact, true.
• What isn’t true is the full story. You’re being told that children are indiscriminately being separated from their parents, either because the US wants to punish them and dissuade future immigrants or because border officials are “cruel.” This is false.
• In fact, multiple I.C.E. members and border patrollers have spoken up to state that removing children from their parents is undesired, uncommon, and heartbreaking. First Lady Melania Trump also stated that she “hates to see” children separated.
• To explain why and when child separation occurs, we need to go all the way back to 1997, during the Clinton Administration. At the time, government officials signed the Flores Consent Decree into order. It stated that children who are not accompanied by an adult could be held no more than 20 days at a time.
• However, adults who cross the border into America illegally are committing a crime – even if they bring children across in hope of a better life. Thus, they must be arrested and detained. If they claim asylum, it can take months or even years to process that claim – far longer than the government is permitted to hold their children.
• Officials are left with two options: release the adults with their children on their own recognizance, never to see them again. Or, turn the children over to the HHS while their parents are imprisoned and unable to care for them.
• There is a third option: release the children to their parents if and when they agree to be deported back to their home countries immediately. They always have the option to opt to go home.
• Children who come into the care of the HHS aren’t left in emergency shelters, such as those witnessed in videos, long-term. They may be temporarily housed there because I.C.E. quite literally does not have anywhere for them to go. While there, children are provided with care, counseling, food, and support.
• Once HHS steps in, most children are placed with migrant family members already in the United States. Some are released to the foster system, while others are sent home with relatives.
• The problem with ramping migration right now stems from previously lax arrangements that saw significant numbers of adults released if they brought children across the border. Families have capitalized on this to gain access to the United States, quickly disappearing, never to be seen again.
• When families disappear after entering the United States, it puts their children at great risk. Research shows children often go without medical care, without proper schooling, and in some cases, without shelter or protection.
• No one likes separating children from their parents, especially when children are still in toddlerhood or pre-teen ages. But it just isn’t an option to release them into the country or let them stay in prison with their parents. In terms of traumatic experiences, staying in an emergency shelter and then moving in with relatives is far less problematic.
• A final point to consider is the fact that we simply do not provide border services with enough money to house children and families together. There are only approximately 3,000 family units available; migrant numbers far exceed the availability.
• If the separation bothers you, you have options to resolve it. Get involved; lobby the government for change. Ask the Trump administration to remove the Flores Decree and allot more money into expediting true asylum cases so parents and children don’t need to be separated. It’s about helping those who really need it, not those who simply smuggle in children to get in illegally.

I get that people are upset about the kids, but they don't seem to understand that it's no different than when anyone else breaks the law. What do they propose? That we just let everyone in, unscreened? That the kids go to jail with the parents?

Democrats are trying to make this a Republican problem, but much of this happened under Obama. I am sick of the left wing democrat lies.

Actually, Congress can fix this but haven't. End of Subject! Fire all of them that refuse to work on this problem and continue to blame The President and Courts for these problems. It takes corrective Legislation to fix these problems.

I find it difficult to understand how ANYONE who checks Mexico's immigration laws are severe. In South America, Columbians used to charge the boarder prior to chaves taking over. They, back then would rather live on the side of the mountain by the airport then to be in Columbia. In Argentina, they would fire on Bolivians who were attempting to cross the boarder. Now in England, France and Germany they were more humane to immigrants and GUESS WHAT! Merkel is about to get thrown out of her job since she opened boarders to all. In Paris, they have Muslims (no go zones for police) taking up streets without police intervention since they fear being killed.And then there's Englan, enugh said. The cost of immigrants is huge and a burden on the country they're in. If you want to break the rules and get caught: Suck it up buttercup. If you want in do it right or face the consequences.

Democrats just want future voters and the military needs future soldiers to fight wars for an ever expanding Israel.
Mexico has very tough immigration policies and everyone that is not a Mexican Citizen will be immediately deported.
Mexico is not taking in any Muslim migrants and refugees.
It is the mental illness of Liberalism that demands open borders. The future price we will pay is an every growing
crime and drug problems and a very corrupt government.

The Democrats only worry about the illegal alien children. They have no concerns for the thousands of American citizen children who are homeless, living in poverty, or in foster care because their parents were arrested. Nancy Peℓσѕι is willing to stand for 8 hours in her stinky stilettos for illegal alien children all while stepping over the bodies of children sleeping on the streets of California in filth with human feces and drug needles surrounding them. The Dems are all about putting on shows. They have no real issues to run on, so they have to create drama and have the fake media push the narrative. No talk about how 80% of the illegal children who arrived in the USA came as unaccompanied minors with no parents or guardians, and a large number of of the children with "parents" are actually with adults who are not their parents. By allowing the Dems to push their agenda for open borders, and allowing anyone with children to enter the country without question, gang members and drug dealers have learned about the stupidity of the left, and are bringing children to provide cover to easily enter the country with no question. Then, the taxpayers are getting stuck with the bill topping $1 billion per year to care for these children, and billions more to fight off the criminal activities of the gang members and drug dealers we let in. The Dems are trying to use these tactics to increase their voting base. They could care less what happens to American citizens. Remember this in the fall when it comes time to vote.

Put me in charge of immigration and only baptized Catholics will have a chance. Practicing Catholics will have more of a chance and Latin Mass Trads would be given incentives.
