If they didn't separate the children when they put the parents in jail then the headlines would be "Trump puts kids in adult jails!"

Question of the Day - To Separate or Not To Separate Immigrant/Refugee/Asylum Seeking Families? [news][qod]
@funbobby51 It seems like you are more concerned about Trump's image than the families and the well being of their children.

Just like the media. Why do you think they suddenly care? If the families cared about their kids and did not want them in US taxpayer funded care facilities then they shouldn't bring them should they?

@funbobby51 First off, you mentioned the media and and even created a headline.
Secondly, you are implying that these families don't care when in fact they do care, and that is a given, but a better question is do you risk immigrating legally or illegally or risk staying and possible death or a miserable life for your child/children? The answer for most if not all knocking at the door seeking refuge is the former.

The problem here is they are not knocking, they are breaking in the back door. If you are a legit refugee or asylum seeker then you proceed directly to the nearest port of entry and declare your status. You don't hire a coyote to smuggle you in. Right?

Here is what I will agree to @funbobby51 and that is that it's "the game" creating all these "players."

I'll take it! consensus achieved! A lot of these child detainees were created intentionally, these kids are cash cows for the prison industry, they get between a few hundred and $1000 a day per child they house. In order to create many such detainees Obama announced that all unaccompanied minors would get amnesty so now we have a flood of unaccompanied minors for the prison industry to make money off.

But if they get amnesty, then why would they still be detained in a jail/prison? Shouldn't they be free, or in Child Services or something? That same money should go to the social program helping the kids/families not jail wardens.

In fact after they get amnesty they are not kept there. Those facilities are to hold kids for three days or less, when there is a backlog then they can house them for 5 days, that is the maximum. After that time they either go to relatives or go home or to foster care. These are not jails, they are temporary holding facilities to process all the children, the vast majority of whom are unaccompanied minors, who cross illegally and have to be processed. These kids are coming in by the trainload, they need to be processed and that does not happen instantaneously and they have to stay somewhere in the meantime.
