| #10 Blame their parents as much as you like. I seem to recall that something like 75% of the children who have arrived at the border in the current round of events were brought in by adults to whom they are not related, either rented or purchased to help the adults in question get into the U.S. instead of being sent back to Mexico to wait their turn. If so, separating children from adults who may or may not be pedophiles or child traffickers until DNA test results confirm that they are related is basic due diligence. Equally, in a very limited space situation where safe family compounds cannot be maintained, locking children in with unrelated adults who may be pedophiles is unconscionable. The same problem has been occurring in Europe refugee barracks, where rape and general abuse have also been reported. It must also be remembered that both in Europe and in the American migrant application detainee facilities, the no doubt dreadful experience can be avoided either by not migrating to the U.S. or by choosing to return home. And, if only the migrants had applied for visas in their home countries or along the way in an orderly manner, they would not have been caught at the border in a deteriorating situation while the application examiners fall farther and farther behind. |

| #9 Yes, for once, it is about the children. And this is not a Christian way to treat them. Seriously. As an action to events, agreed. This however is a reaction to events which requires some catching up on; the blame is on those who are causing this situation. |

| #8 7 year old children don't make this choice. Blame their parents as much as you like. But that's not an excuse to treat small children this way. Yes, for once, it is about the children. And this is not a Christian way to treat them. Seriously. |

| #4 This is all on the traffickers and 'migration' facilitators. Constitutional directives and National priorities can be dynamic enough to feature humane and reasonable allowances; but they cannot be so completely fluid like gender these days, that they can be simply reworked or discarded at whim and fancy of the impressionable activist or lazy legislator. Most of these people know the American stand on this kind of immigration, they are willful offenders. Only some are being conned by smugglers and guides for profit. Their children are their responsibility and unacceptable casualties of a large scale crime being committed;, but not by ICE or the US Govt. It is all on the facilitators of illegal immigration and the parents themselves. The media plays either a mercenary arm or an unwitting accomplice in this crime. Neither the media nor the democrat party ever considers the moral, fundamental right of the citizens of America to refuse to share their geographic territory with foreign entities. |
