Less than 39% of the apprehensions at the boarder are determined to be inadmissible by CBP. The systemic separation of parents and children didn't happen under Bush, Obama and even Trump administrations until April 2018. Border crossings have been in decline for a years and funding is at an all time high so the overloaded argument is ridiculous.

These parents are just trying to provide a life for their kids. We would all do the same. Deport them sure. But tearing families apart is cruel.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good news story with lots of emotion.....
DHS reported that of 12000 illegal kids detained, some 10000 came without their parents. Many were in the custody of coyotes or others even suspected in human trafficking...
Parents send the kids unaccompanied because they know the gov will not deport them. They then make arrangement to cross themselves later, after the children have been fed, given medical attention, and certified asylum... so they can be reunited, hopefully. It's a twist on the anchor baby scheme.
Of course , if you or I commit a crime with our kids in tow, and the kids have no home-they are separated and "detained" also in government facilities.

Maybe he thinks that crying toddler from the slums is just a snowflake who needs to learn a lesson. Some of us forget our ancestors probably arrived on a boat cold, hungry, and poor.

It is a lack of compassion. Using your numbers 2000 kids were separated from their parents. Funny that a lot of you guys consider yourselves to be good Christians. I wonder which side of this argument would Jesus take? Mother Theresa? The pope? Maybe you are right. Punish those toddlers.
