Follow the fricking law ........... I did not vote for Trump but he is spot on in trying to stop this influx of illegals.

There is no "influx of illegals". These are people, humans, who are fleeing cartels who are ravaging their country in great part fueled by US drug consumption. Stuff it.

Are the parents free at that point to say, effectively, "OK, you caught me violating your laws. My children and I will stay together and return home." ? Of are they not given that choice?

DP, moderate. The parents don’t have the option to turn around, as I understand it. Someone will correct me identify I’m wrong, I’m sure.

I don't believe that they do. I think they get arrested.
One can't seek asylum after been caught crossing illegally - intentions to seeking asylum are not clear to authorities at this point. Papers have to be submitted at the official entry points at the time of entry.

However, it just underscores that our values don't change just because there is a different president.

What’s worse separating citizens from their parents or recent illegal aliens from their parents?

Immigration status doesn't matter. Family does. Humans do. Aren't you all supposed to be pro-family?

So you believe this for all crimes? Rob a bank and you can’t be separated from kids?

How is a violent felony in any way similar to an administrative misdemeanor?

This is a crisis. And, it was NOT created by this administration. Another problem that needs to be cleaned up by Trump.

So, those of you complaining, hating, and blaming Trump - what exactly is your solution?
- What do you do with children who come through the border with someone who is not family?
- What do you do with children who come over unaccompanied?
- What do you do with children who come over with a parent who breaks the law by entering illegally?
- Where do you propose these family units are held, given that space is limited?
- Specifically, how do we enforce our border laws?

Catch and release, as practiced by previous administrations is not an option. It was one of the policies that caused this problem. Most of those caught and released are still here today, hiding from authorities.

How do we deal with these facts:

Since this time last year, there has been a 325% increase in unaccompanied children entering illegally.
Since this time last year, there has been a 435% increase in family units entering illegally.
Over the last 10 years, there has been a 1,700% increase in asylum claims.
We are experiencing an asylum backlog of 600,000 cases.
Since 2014, the US has admitted more than half a million illegal minors and family units, most of whom are still at large in the US.

You’ve offered no proof of your facts. Where’s your cite? Pulling numbers from some shady bunch of racists like CIS, and aware of how deservedly reviled they are? What in God’s name is the justification for implementing this SPECIFIC TRUMP POLICY? You cool with border agents mocking terrified preK/K/elem kids who don’t know, literally are deliberately not told, if they will **ever** see their parents again?

You’re a faux everything - news reader, intellectual, human. Your wall of bullshit text is just that.

These were the specific numbers given by Kirstjen Nielsen at the press briefing today. I took notes.
And, again.... more bitching and moaning and no solutions.

Another little factoid from today’s briefing. Of the 12,000 kids apprehended who have crossed the border illegally, 10,000 of them came unaccompanied. That means that their parents sent them on this dangerous journey on their own. Their parents don’t seem to have concern for their safety. I would argue that they are getting better treatment, care, and supervision here, in detention, than they received with their parents.

You don't seem well informed. Parents send their kids alone out of complete desperation and because the "coyotes" who help these kids navigate the journey cost upwards of $5,000 - a lifetime savings for some of these families. They have to chose - Sophie's Choice style - which child leaves and has a glimmer of hope of a better life.

You people are so stupid and craven ... It's just sad. I wish we could send you south in exchange for some of these families seeking asylum.

You're not arguing that we should release more illegals onto the streets and then expect them to appear in court, do you? And what about all these children whose parents sent them unaccompanied, or with adults not their parents? What do we do with those children? Finally, this asylum business is now the "new excuse" the illegals are using. Fleeing violence or poverty is not what is meant by asylum.

If you lie about their lies - which is your entire rotted framework- yup. We have nothing in common. You wouldn’t recognize a fact if it bit you.

+1

Something some White House official said means nothing these days. Zero credibility.

Unemployed shitbird taking notes with no clue where those numbers came from: you are not impressive. Nielsen has lied - repeatedly - about the existence of the camps. She lies. You lie.

Prove me wrong, friend. And, it’s much more likely I will engage with someone who doesn’t go about throwing around profanity and calling me names.
But, you likely know that. You have no intention of engaging. YOU MAD. Yes, you are mad because someone has come here with facts and numbers that you simply cannot refute.
