Blame the parents for children’s plight at the border
Separating children from their parents is a terrible thing. However, the present howling and gnashing of teeth in an attempt to blame President Trump for separating illegal immigrant parents from their children ignores two important points.
First, everyone, citizen or not, who goes to jail leaves their children behind and many thousands of these children are left to the care of child protective services. Where is the outrage?
Second, it is not the fault of the U.S. government that this is happening. It is the fault of the illegal border crossers who have put their children in this position. Blame them.
