It does take the stand that separating children from their parents and putting them in interment camps then lying to the public about it is bad, yes.
Yeah, but there was a lot of inflammatory reporting that skipped over the facts.
But feel free to address these issues. . . .
1. Kids often not biologically related to people claiming to be parents. Children were being kidnapped to use as ticket into the US. Simply allowing parents with kids through was creating a humanitarian crisis.
2. Some children were being sex or slave trafficked. Not separating them from the "parents" exposed them to abuse.
3. One year, Obama had processed more then 80,000 kids. The images of kids in cages came that time.
4. If an American parent tried to slipped of the Mexico border in an illegal manner, they would be arrested and separated from their kids.
5. Most "kids" (like about 80%) were older kids and came alone. Many kids aren't kids at all, but in their late teens and many pretending to be kids. Like one illegal charged with rape in a high school was about 23 years old.
6. All "real" parents had the option to take their kids and go home. We don't kick children out, so when the parents were sent back, their parents CHOSE to leave their kids. We are then tasks with tracking down relatives in the US or find their family back in their country.
7. These are not normal American "towns." These are refugees and we are tasks not only with their care, but their education. Keeping them safe is a major deal, because they might even hurt themselves or each other.
8. Just because reporter says there was a lie, doesn't mean there is. I found the reports fairly complete.
