That's not what the law calls for and to apply for asylum you don't just show up at the border. What we have had is - ok here's a date for your hearing don'r bother to show up because we won't find you.

Yes you do.

Someone tries to sneak in and all of a sudden we house and feed their family but that won't make more folks do the same thing

Right

Why not execute them by firing squad? That would surely deter people from trying to immigrate, whether illegally or by obtaining asylum. I know you're not arguing that as an option, but taking the logic to the extreme shows that the question isn't whether to deter illegal immigration or not. The question is whether the HOW (in this case, this new treatment of children) is worth the WHAT (in this case, whatever speculative benefits might come in the form of future deterrence).

There is no new policy other than enforcing the law to the fullest

Not true. Even Fox News seems to acknowledge that this is a sea change.

RaceBannon said:

No they don't. Its enforcing the law

We don't make laws based on hurt feelings.

There is no law requiring the separation of children from their parents.

There is no such law.

This is a matter of Trump's discretion, not a law.

Come back to me with an actual law--like, an actual part of the United States Code or the Code of Federal Regulations---and not just your say-so.

I gave you the link

It's the law

Tough shit

You did not. I gave you that link. And linked article says, "There is no law that dictates children must be separated from their parents when caught crossing into the country illegally, and there was a time when ICE policy didn't call for detaining all families."

Try pulling this off in Russia or China. You and your alleged kids would be sent packing immediately. Show them the USA is tough as nails and won't tolerate this anymore, and they'll stop coming.

Separating kids from unskilled uneducated third world labor that you’re scared will “steal” your job...
USA is tough as nails. They’ll think twice next time in Guatemala! MAGA!

The US doesn't need any more unskilled third world labor. Out of work millennials can fill jerbs that illegal immigrants currently work.

Why the fuck do you care who works the worst jobs in the US? You’re doing ok aren’t you? Aren’t you?
