Incorrect. If a parent commits murder, do we imprision the child with them? No.

People are breaking the law and their families are being separated because of it. This is squarely on the people breaking the law, not the people enforcing it.

"Incorrect. If a parent commits murder, do we imprision the child with them? No."

I cannot take a single thing you say seriously now that you are comparing murder to people fleeing from danger and trying to give their children a better life. You are supporting a needlessly cruel policy, and what's worse, you are hiding that, trying to justify it by saying that its the law, when there is exactly no law whatsoever that forces this action.

So you think we should lock up the children of criminals when the criminal is arrested? That's all this is about. People are breaking the law, getting caught and being detained. No amount of hyperbole is going to help your case with people that aren't already deeply immersed in your philosophy. I wish you could objectively hear what your argument sounds like to someone who's neutral on this issue.

And this is why I can't take you seriously; you are very clearly not arguing in good faith.

"I wish you could objectively hear what your argument sounds like to someone who's neutral on this issue."

You are very clearly not neutral on this issue. And quite frankly, I don't want to meet someone who's "neutral" on the idea of separating children from their parents, and locking them up.
