Because many of these people are essentially refugees fleeing violence and extreme poverty in their home countries. Instead of helping these people we're tearing them from their families.
Imagine people fleeing a country from a flood or attacking country (like Germany in WWII) we're torn from their children and held separately? Does that seem humane?

I can imagine this, but afaik there are no floods or wars going on in Mexico atm. It would be inhumane to punish people in that scenario, but that isn't the scenario we are talking about. Rather, these seem to just be people that don't like it in Mexico and want to go to the US. I want lots of things too, but I don't break the law to get them.
- downandout 8y agoI can imagine that there is a war or floods currently going on in Mexico, but afaik neither of those things are actually happening. Yes, it’s a relatively poor country, and they have problems that they need to solve over there. That doesn’t mean we in the US can afford to just open up the floodgates and let everyone from there that wants to come over into our country. There is a process to come here legally, and I am all for legal immigration. I just don’t see why it’s remotely controversial to enforce our laws against illegal immigration.
