Inside Shelter for Illegal Alien Children Separated from Parents
2018-06-17
[BREITBART] The Department of Health and Human Services hosted Breitbart News and other media on a tour of a facility in El Cajon, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, on Friday where migrant children are being sheltered after being separated from their parents.

The children are separated from their parents ‐ or, to be precise, from the adults accompanying them, who may or may not be their parents ‐ when their parents cross the southern U.S. border illegally and are caught and detained.

Previously, under the "catch-and-release" policy, the adults would be released. Under the "zero tolerance" policy of the Trump administration, the adults are being detained and prosecuted. Children cannot be incarcerated with them.

#6  I saw a story this a.m. regarding a man in the military stationed in Afghanistan. He hadn't been able to celebrate the last three birthdays of his two boys.

#5  If they were in Mexico would they be separated?

If someone (immigrant, illegal immigrant, citizen) is convicted of a crime, should he not be put in prison because it would "separate the family"?

#4  Even if they were separated it is not the government's fault, but the alleged parent's fault.

#2  Age testing needed for "children" as well.

#1  So, what is the alternative? Do the children accompany their 'alleged' parents to Federal prison? Are the parents actually the parents or are they props? DNA testing anyone ?
