[Cow Poke]

In other threads I have pointed out to Cow Poke...

This is about me, isn't it?

Interesting detail:

a link would be nice.. seems like even in those cases it was about illegal entry:

Any child being taken during a legal seeking of asylum, I do think is wrong.

"Irregular" is not necessarily "illegal".

I don't think a citizen has to agree with every decision someone they elected makes. Do you?

Essentially the choices are either separate the children from the parents or let the parents skate. Considering that it is hardly uncommon to separate the parents from their children when the parents break the law this looks like a whole lot of selective outrage.

They usually are.

Choice #3 would be to keep the children detained with the parents in some form of family detainment centre - which makes sense because if the parents are seeking asylum, their children probably are/would too.

If you had bothered to read the article you would have seen that they tried that but it was rebuffed by the courts when immigrant rights activists complained



So it has been reduced to two choices. Separate the families or let them walk free.

I read the article.

Or expand it back to three choices again by reversing the apparently incorrect ruling.

That is not a choice currently available. Right now we are stuck with only two choices and have to deal with what is not with what we would prefer.

I think you forgot you're talking with liberals who believe in the Obama policy of "If you don't like the law then just ignore it."

What about let them walk free but back in Mexico instead of the USA?

The image of a child locked in a cage tweeted by immigration rights activist and former Washington Post and Huffington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas this past Monday was staged coming from a protest in Dallas over the weekend

After it was already exposed the fake fact checkers at Snopes declared that the image was merely "miscaptioned"

ICE has been terrible since its establishment under the Bush administration. It should be abolished.
