Because this is affecting those who show up to apply for asylum as well. That is not illegal. Not to mention that crossing the border is a misdemeanor. Comparing that to something like murder is not discussing in good faith. "You meet people that support the law and legal immigration (but not illegal) all of the time. Most people hold this opinion." Again, there is no law whatsoever that states that the government must separate children from parents at the border. Not a single one. And I choose not to associate with people who would support such a barbaric and inhumane practice. They may hold whatever opinions they wish on the subject of immigration, but once they issue support for these inhumane practices, I lose all respect for them and their positions.
