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.
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.

Here, I’ll spell it out for you again...I feel terrible for the children. Do I wish that every child affected could stay with their family, of course. Unfortunately, they have criminals for parents and they chose to break our laws. There are repercussions for that and the fact that they chose, poorly I might add, to bring their children with them doesn’t waive their responsibility. But, as always, it’s always someone else’s fault that they broke the law.

In the US, like every other country on earth, it is illegal to enter the country without permission. It is a crime. A judge in California ruled during Obama, that kids can not be incarcerated with their parents.
So do we just lock up the parents, and leave the kids wandering in the desert?
The current detention facilities (same ones Obama used) may look bad, but they are the most compassionate thing we can do currently on such a large scale. Shelter, food, medicine in conditions that are in many cases better than what they left.

You’re blaming the process and not who is actually at fault...the terrible parents. I have 5 children and I promise you that I would NEVER put my kids in that position.
