The detention of immigrant children seems to have been something that happened all throughout our country's history.
However, only recently did separating children from families become a matter of an administration's immigration policy.

The fact that previous administrations and governments in our history have also been guilty of injustice and mistreating innocent children does not lessen the evil and injustice of what our current government is doing in the slightest. What they are now doing is still inhumane and criminal and unnecessary. There are better and more humane solutions that could be tried.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
